Therapists Beginning With B in Oklahoma

Progress always involve risk; you can't steal 2nd base and keep your foot on 1st because life is a matter of choices and every choice you make makes you!

I work most often with depression, anxiety, childhood abuse, neglect and trauma, loss, relationship issues, and divorce. I am certified as an EMDR therapist through the EMDR International Association and EMDR is a particular passion of mine, as well as helping parents with raising children and brain health coaching based on the work of Dr. Daniel Amen, MD. I am also a Certified Emotion Code Practitioner and Certified Body Code Practitioner.

My goal as a therapist is to help others become the best version of themselves. I work with and support my clients to achieve mental and emotional well-being while discovering themselves. Too often, we shy away from help because we are ashamed, afraid, or don't understand the process. I believe everyone can benefit from time in therapy becoming more self-aware.

Welcome to my profile. I have been a LPC since 2003 and became an EMDR Certified Therapist in 2015. I began my Somatic Experiencing (SE) Therapy training in January of 2020 and have enjoyed integrating SE in my practice. SE is a naturalistic form of healing that will help you to learn how to settle and release physiological activation from your body. Very often this process helps people to reduce stress and return to a sense of of regulation and mastery in their lives. SE is particularly useful in managing stress because so many of the symptoms are physiological. To learn more about SE, please visit www.traumahealing.org.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. My beliefs are that healing is a journey and lies within each of us. Therapy is a collaborative approach between therapist and client. The therapist merely acts as a guide for the client to find the right path of healing. I've worked with adults, adolescents, and children with a variety of therapeutic interventions. I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety, and PTSD. If you're troubled by life's challenges and don't know where to turn, let me help you unlock your healing journey within!

My counseling philosophy is grounded in trauma-informed practices, meaning I value collaboration, empowerment, and emotional and physical safety above all else. In time, clients will gain a richer understanding of themselves while working towards self-determined goals. I am especially attuned to those experiencing LGBT issues, trauma, and depression, as well as various non-monogamous relationships and organizing for social justice. As a social worker and through lived experience, I am highly aware of the daily social, institutional, and communal injustices that impact different historically oppressed people.
