Child Therapists in Ada, OK
I have worked with children and families over 30 years, and these along with my life experiences and Christian faith have uniquely equipped me to accompany clients on that journey in an authentic way.
Have you reached a difficult crossroad in your life? Do you or a loved one need assistance in finding the right path for your future? Much of our emotional suffering is rooted in the struggle to reconcile experience with our desire for a fulfilling and meaningful life. At times we find that the ways we previously made sense of life no longer fit. Change is never easy and I consider it an honor to work together and strike a new path. Helping people to develop tools to cope with life's difficulties is my ultimate goal. I hold my clients' trust as sacred and partner with them to strengthen and deepen the relationships around them.

Working with children and families was an easy decision for me that began in High School during my years as a Peer Counselor. My belief is that all children and adults need someone they can express their thoughts, feelings, and emotions to. Everyone needs someone they can confide in, someone they can feel safe and comfortable with. My drive, as a counselor, is to give children and families that very opportunity, to have that person they can express themselves to in a confidential therapeutic setting. I believe knowledge and safety are valuable critical keys to life.
