I understand many life experiences can leave one unable to cope and rebound from their effects. I provide techniques to promote healing from life's traumatic events, in order for you to get back to enjoying life. I use trauma-informed techniques such as 'flash technique', 'progressive counting', and hypnotherapy to assist in identifying and processing trauma. These are valid and reliable techniques that provide faster processing and healing than most others.

Do you feel stuck in a rut? Like you are running into a similar problem over and over or fighting the same fights with your partner? If you feel this way, it is because you probably are. Our view of ourselves, the world, and our closest relationships are influenced by our family of origin and are the catalyst for these patterns in our lives, including issues with self-esteem, unhappiness, anxiety, and relationship dissatisfaction. As a systemic therapist, I look below the surface and want to help to get to the root of what is going on.

Children often do not have the words or the ability to tell you what is going on with them, how they feel or why they are acting the way they are. I work with children ages 12 and under who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problem behaviors. My goal is allow them to communicate in their own way, through play, to process and resolve trauma, explore emotions and learn ways to redirect inappropriate behaviors.

I have worked in Oklahoma as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Alcohol & Drug Counselor since 2011. Over these years, I have enjoyed working in different settings with many wonderful and diverse people and populations. I love what I do and take it very seriously because I know how challenging it can be to choose yourself in the world we live in. Therapy can be hard work and making the commitment to that work (and yourself) can be daunting. It’s my goal to help you see through all of the muddy parts and realize how much you and the work are worth it.

Life can feel heavy, even when you’re holding it all together. Many of the men I work with are high-achieving and responsible for everyone else, yet inside they feel anxious, stressed, or disconnected. You don’t have to carry it all on your own.

—Don't wait—reach out today. My clients are teens and adults who've reached a point where pushing through on their own just isn't working anymore. They come to me carrying anxiety that won't quiet down, depression that's dulled the joy out of everyday life, trauma they haven't fully processed, or relationships that keep hitting the same walls. Many are in the middle of a major life transition — a loss, a breakup, a career shift — and feel unsteady in ways they can't quite explain. Together, we untangle what's underneath, build real coping tools, and work toward a life that feels like theirs again.

Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists
What is the most effective treatment for oppositional defiant disorder?
The treatment of Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) will involve multiple approaches designed to help both the youngster and their parents, sometimes including medication. A therapist will help a child learn ways to regulate their emotions, curb their impulsiveness, and counteract anger, defiance, and disruption, while showing parents ways to bring these lessons into their home. A technique designed for children with conditions like ODD, known as Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS), may also be used. CPS addresses a child’s concerns and rewards appropriate responses while discouraging harsh punishment or criticism.

How does treatment for oppositional defiant disorder work?
Treatment for ODD addresses the issues underlying a child’s defiance and disruption, the emotional regulation and impulse-control skills they lack, and the way adults respond to them. ODD therapy is based on the idea that children with the disorder understand the difference between right and wrong, that they want to behave well, and that, with help, they can. By responding to the child with empathy instead of harsh criticism, ignoring nonviolent behaviors, and rewarding positive actions, a therapist, and the other adults in a child’s life, can help children improve their behavior.

How long does therapy for oppositional defiant disorder take?
Therapy for oppositional defiant disorder is not a short-term undertaking. Depending on the severity of a child’s symptoms, their age, the presence of other conditions like ADHD, anxiety or a mood disorder, and their family dynamic, it can take months before improvement is noted. The cooperation of parents and teachers is crucial, because the skills learned in therapy must be practiced in real-world situations, with all their potential triggers.

Does oppositional defiant disorder go away?
ODD can remit following treatment. ODD is often diagnosed in nursery school, and early intervention is essential for a positive prognosis. In two-thirds of children, according to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, symptoms resolve within three years.
