Spirituality Therapists in Claremore, OK

I approach counseling with the belief that we are all seeking to understand truth and a meaningful life. My graduate training was an interactive strengths-based approach to treating creative and gifted adolescents who often felt alienated by value systems beyond their choosing. My goal as a clinician is to help clients understand the origin of their emotional struggle, and in doing so, we will reveal solutions to cognitive dissonance resulting from competing value systems. And while my Christian values inform my understanding of myself and the world around me, I will never impose those values on my clients.

I have treated clients successfully dealing with abuse, depression, anxiety, sexual concerns, and intimacy issues. I have worked with clients who see spirituality as an important part of their healing.

If you're seeking a deeper understanding and improvement in your relationship with yourself and others, my practice offers a supportive setting for personal growth and exploration. We can tackle a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, & trauma, employing the Internal Family Systems model alongside mind-body techniques. These approaches allow us to delve into your emotional world, aiming for a greater understanding of the different aspects of yourself. This process is about transforming the way you relate to yourself and others, emphasizing the critical importance of your relationship with yourself.

We all need a place to put our guard down, feel safe, and process life's challenges. I believe in the therapeutic process and compassionately challenging my clients to face difficulties while having my support. My joy is to help you identify or rediscover your purpose, reprocess past traumas, enjoy singleness, overcome depression, break-ups, and other obstacles. I hope to help you form healthy relationships via pre-engagement and pre-marital, marital, family, and peer relationships counseling. I have a "soft spot" for seeing international, and grad students succeed while maintaining a healthy balance and staying culturally relevant.

We all get stuck in life, but that does not mean you have to remain stuck. My practice is focused on providing a secure environment where adult individuals can reprocess overwhelming experiences, address underlying negative beliefs about self, and focus on living their desired life with a future they can embrace. Having over 5 years of counseling experience in the Tulsa area, and being an EMDR Basic Trained therapist, I utilize various approaches in counseling such as Client Centered Therapy, EMDR Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy that help to meet you where you are.

Now Accepting New Clients. You may have always felt like an outsider, but you still have the innate human desire to find comfort and companionship. In times of disconnect & loneliness, it can be tempting to build poor boundaries to keep people close, perhaps you look for a sense of control by acting out or you seek refuge away from others through isolation. We will work to build the skills you need to live a life that fits within your values. Together we will recognize and understand the patterns in your life, explore ways to change those patterns, learn techniques to help you cope with life, and learn to navigate it more smoothly.

I help people get unstuck. When the difference between where you want to be and where you are seems huge, I can help you move through the obstacles and achieve your goals. If you are stressed, depressed, or anxious because the relationships in your life aren't what you would like them to be then you are the kind of person I work well with. While I think it is important to understand how the past has shaped who you are, I prefer to focus on the present and the future.
