Hardy. Delicate. Deeply Rooted. Those are some descriptions I’ve heard of the Redbud – Oklahoma’s state tree. They’re also an early sign that spring is coming. What a great representation of the internal growth and change we strive for in counseling! For 20 years, I've worked with individuals and families through grief & loss, anxiety, depression, family/work/personal stress, coping with divorce, remarriage, and rebuilding brokenness. I have extensive experience in medically-focused settings (disability at any age, hospice, caregiving, medical trauma, chronic pain/illness) and with aging populations coping with life stage changes.

My personal counseling philosophy begins with the grace and courage shown when a new client allows me to journey with them during the counseling process. I have found that when modifying thoughts and emotions with self-awareness and eventually modifying behaviors, that this process will positively impact your quality of life and improve your closest relationships! I joined this profession as I feel I can authentically listen to and meet each of my clients where they are. At times, changes in self-perception, insight, and self-growth can be uncomfortable.

A few types of therapy offered are cbt, solution focused, talk therapy, family therapy, and play therapy.
My ideal client is someone who is open to change and has a clear understanding of their goals for change. They may be struggling with life's burdens and feel lost or unheard and just need a listening ear to have an open honest conversation. The client is the expert in his/her treatment and has the ability to facilitate change that creates confidence and autonomy. Once the client is able to see their strengths rather than their weaknesses, they can then realize their full potential in the counseling process.

It may include difficulties with relationships, problems on the job, unresolved issues from the past, grief and loss, mood disorders, impulse control, uncertainties about the future. Some people are reluctant to seek out a professional thinking how can they understand my issues? What do I talk about? Can I really open up to them about some of my deepest issues? Well, I want you to know, that whatever it is, you have come to the right place. I look forward to guiding you.

Hello! Congrats on taking the next step of growth! Therapy can be challenging, but it can help you rediscover or discover how to go through life stages. Life can be hard and having support is essential when we don't know what to do. I believe learning, unlearning, and relearning are all continuous processes in life. Growth can be uncomfortable and vulnerable, but as you grow you bring forth new ways of thinking. Being vulnerable isn’t easy but can help improve the strength of our relationships. I want to hold the space for anything you are experiencing and create opportunities for us to peel back the layers of your innermost self.

Thank you for your interest in my practice. I am a LPC with twenty years of mental health experience. I believe that therapy works best when it is a collaborative effort with therapist and client working together. While my approach is eclectic, recognizing that there is not a 'one size fits all' approach to counseling, I do work primarily from a Psychodynamic and Interpersonal perspective. There is more to counseling than a particular theoretical orientation. Providing a safe, supportive environment and the ability to sense what a person needs at a particular time are important therapeutic skills.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists

How does solution-focused therapy work?

The treatment works by helping a client notice which behaviors and thoughts have positive results on their lives and building a plan around how to maximise these strengths. Practitioners of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) believe that individuals already have the experience, wisdom, and resilience to create change in their lives, but may need a guide to help them realise which changes to make and how to make them.

Is solution-focused brief therapy evidence-based?

Yes. Solution-focused brief therapy has been extensively studied, and researchers find strong evidence that it’s an effective treatment for many behavioral and psychological concerns. This may be due to the uplifting nature and practicality of the treatment, which allows patients to employ strategies to reach their goals that are incremental and achievable.

How long does solution-focused brief therapy last?

Solution-focused brief therapy, as the name implies, is brief. The timeline may vary from person to person, given the challenges they face and their situation in life, but treatment is typically complete within four to eight sessions. This therapy type is a pragmatic one: it’s concerned more with “how” problems can be addressed and improved than getting to the root of “why” they exist in the first place.

Is solution-focused brief therapy a type of cognitive behavioral therapy?

Solution-focused brief therapy is related to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)in that both are pragmatic approaches that deal less with gaining a full understanding of the cause of a mental health problem and more with creating plans for how to cope with these problems and improve an individual’s day-to-day life. They are distinct, however, in that SFBT emphasises building on strengths and resources, while CBT focuses on changing negative thoughts and behaviors.
