Teletherapy for Oklahoma

Many people find themselves struggling with hopelessness, anxiety, or managing everyday life experiences within their intimate relationships, parenting, or various stages of life. When we are struggling to stay afloat, it can be difficult to do even the smallest of tasks. We are not promised a life free of difficulties, but we also do not have to struggle through the journey alone. I believe in facilitating a collaborative dynamic in therapy to empower you, as clients, to find healing and solutions to issues.

It isn’t random issues that create problems as much as patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. Hopeless depression, alarming anxiety, mental disorder or substance abuse cloud the present and the future. When our mental health is in disrepair and collapse feels imminent, setting a new course seems impossible. The pleasures and certainty of life seem lost. Like restoring old furniture, it takes a commitment to revision friendships and family, or perhaps a job, until deterioration is replaced with a narrative of renewal. We can take time to restore healthy, confident hopes and positive plans to achieve an exceptional life.

Are your negative thoughts weighing you down? Are you feeling like you can't escape them? Are their judgements about what you are eating or what you look like coming up for you? You might even use food or drugs to cope. Or maybe you have made a lifestyle change and are struggling with the negative thoughts that come when you are less than perfect with your intentions. This can be a vicious cycle that takes it's toil on you. It might not feel like it but you can lessen the pain, quiet the negative thoughts, and find yourself again. Recovery is achievable no matter how long you have been battling. Your story matters.

The start of any new journey can be exciting and wonderful, but it also can be difficult and anxiety-triggering. I believe a person’s counseling journey is no different. It can be frustrating navigating identity issues or crises, transitioning through phases and ages, adjusting to new normals after grief and loss, and discovering who you are in all of this to live fully and authentically. In our space you will have the freedom to explore and express who you really are and what you have gone through so far in your life. We will identify personal strengths and strategies to help you move forward in your healing and self-discovery.

It's hard to be strong for everyone all the time. You feel life is pulling in too many directions and there is no time to just stop and breathe. Your thoughts won't even shut up long enough to get some sleep. Life wasn't always this hard, but you may not even remember the last time something was actually fun. Feeling broken and beaten by the world is exhausting. It may seem hopeless now, but you haven't met me yet.

There is more to life than just "getting through." We all have a desire to live a fulfilling & impactful life but this society does NOT show us how. To create that is absolutely possible if you have the right education, lifestyle, & mentor that fits you. This was the case in my life, & is why I respect that each person is different & requires their own path. So, I create personalized programs for all my patients & clients to address their issues at the ROOT & rebuild their daily lives on a foundation of knowledge, joy, & habits that align them with their true intentions. Once the wins start accruing.. success is guaranteed.

Welcome! I like my clients to know that speaking with a therapist can be just like going to their primary care provider for a checkup. :-) Sometimes, it's good just to make sure everything is functioning as it should be. I believe in working WITH clients, which is how it should be with every medical professional you see, because who knows you better than you? This process should be collaborative. And, if we happen to uncover an issue, my ideal clients express willingness to accept the existence of that issue, and possess the desire and ability to take steps to address it.

You don't have to live in emotional pain! Experience healing today! Generally, our culture does not understand emotions very well. We're shamed for showing emotion. Many of us walk around with our emotional tanks empty. This can cause symptoms similar to trauma. It shows up in our relationships as conflict and our alone-time as anxiety and depression. Beyond that, many have experienced significant emotional trauma. Resorting to mere coping skills in an attempt to navigate trauma can offer some short term relief. However, true healing from emotional pain can be yours.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Anyone can dream, but it takes true courage to look inside ourselves and begin the journey of awakening. I would love the opportunity to guide you in your journey of self-discovery. As a therapist I will provide you with a safe and accepting environment that fosters growth and supports you while you transform the vision of the life you were always meant to live into a reality. “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Carl Jung
