Parenting Therapists in Tulsa, OK

As your therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

Sometimes I search through PT's therapists to find a match for someone who I might not be able to serve due to a conflict of interest. If I search for a therapist offering the type of therapy I’m looking for, I find that most are offering a long list of specialties. I used to do the same. In my 25 years as a therapist, I’ve attended trainings on possibly hundreds of topics. I’ve offered and attempted to address whatever the client’s need is, but I finally recognized that both my client and I are benefited more by a clear focus toward specific issues which I learn about and practice resolving every day that I see clients.

My favorite part of being a therapist is being able to connect with people and families and build positive therapeutic relationships .

It's during these moments that having someone to lean on, someone who can provide a safe space for us to explore our thoughts and emotions, can make all the difference. As a therapist, I understand the weight that life's challenges can place on our shoulders. I believe in the power of empathy, compassion, and genuine connection to help navigate through these difficult times.

If you're nervous about taking the first step into therapy, then you're not alone.

Resilience: The ability or capacity to recover quickly and adapt in the face of adversity, trauma, and stress.

The courage it takes for you to seek and enter into counseling is immense. Trust is the the key component to any successful therapeutic relationship and extremely essential.

In this collaborative process, you will develop healthy self-care practices, reduction in trauma triggers and symptoms, and overall improvement in self-empowerment.

All humans have inherent worth, yet I believe a lack of self-worth is at the core of all emotional pain. I use a narrative approach to allow clients to share their story as they see it and then help them reframe to build a life that better meets their desired goals. Self-defeating behaviors created to cope with difficult situations, such as trauma, gender identity and a lack of validation, can be changed when identified and understood. I join my client on their journey to become the person they desire. I am a member of World Professional Association of Health and of International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation.

If I were to ask you to name all the things you LOVE...how long would it take you to name YOURSELF? Do you feel like your not in control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions? Like your brain has a mind of it's own? Feel so tired you didn't want to get out of bed? Keep forgetting your keys, lose your train of thought, or can't seem to focus on tasks? Some days it's so bad you don't recognize yourself in the mirror or in pictures. Hopelessness becomes your daily go to feeling. You either want to sleep all day or eat everything in sight.

As Brené Brown says, “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” I believe my job as a therapist is to come alongside individuals and families and help them come alive.

When we have the courage to walk into our story and own it, we get to write the ending - Brene Brown. It takes an immense amount of effort and intention to own our failings, limits, insecurities, shame, regrets, and pains. Yet the work of embracing those aspects of our lives frees us from the prison of pretending that they do not exist. My clinical and professional work has been to help people move away from mindsets fixated on the fantasy of perfectionism in order to live into a reality of grace, acceptance, and appreciation or ourselves as we are rather than who we believe we "should" be.

I hope to empower children, their parents, young people and adults who have learning and attention problems and the behavioral and emotional challenges that often go hand-in-hand with them. My focus is on helping my clients develop a strong sense of their own gifts and their ability to contribute to their families and communities. I provide comprehensive psycho-educational and psychological evaluations. I am no longer providing psychotherapy on an ongoing basis, but will provide short-term follow-up services for clients/families who have undertaken evaluations with me.
