Christian Counseling Therapists in Cleveland County, OK

Are you a couple in crisis due to recent events in your relationship? Do you need help with conflict, communication, friendship, and intimacy? Do you want to change patterns of selfishness and increase empathy and understanding in your relationship, building trust and commitment? In couples therapy, I help each partner gain insight into their own past, emotions, motivations, and defenses. If one or both of the individuals in the relationship are experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or personality disorders, I am also trained to work with those diagnoses. We can work together to find healing.

Have you been feeling anxious, defeated and overwhelmed? You may be stuck, knocked down by current situations and or past traumas, and unsure of what step to take next. Maybe you are undergoing life transitions, such as grief/loss, post-partum, a big move, or even struggling with big decisions. You know you want to learn how to navigate emotions better, feel fulfilled in work and family life, and learn to take care of yourself. You are reading this so I know you are motivated to make changes and I want to give you tools to help you face whatever may come your way. This journey of life can be tough. I would love to walk it with you.

I am passionate about what I do. I believe you already have inside of you the ability to make the changes you want in your life. I love to see people find healing by taking captive their self defeating thoughts and making changes in their behavior. I know the most important thing I can do as a therapist is build a trusting relationship with the people who come into my office.

I fully support a person's diversity and religious faith and welcome it in therapy. I offer a warm and empathetic personality and experience in professional counseling.

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.

My goal is to empower and teach individual adults and couples how to reduce their level of stress, anxiety, depression and how to improve the quality of their relationships. I work to achieve this by using an integrative and systematic approach. Integrative in the belief that our spirit, mind and body work together with our relationships to provide our sense of well-being. Systematic in that I utilize my training as a certified Gottman couples therapist and a certified EMDR trauma therapist to develop a customized treatment plan to meet your specific goals. All of this is conducted in a safe, private and comfortable environment.

With sixteen years of counseling experience, I have helped clients with a variety of their concerns, including substance abuse, trauma, and mental health.

As a kid, you dreamed about life as an adult. Over the years, you experienced the great joys and deep sorrows that accompany being human. Eventually, you woke up and wondered what had happened, and how your life is so different from the one you imagined. You feel like somewhere along the way you lost yourself, or at least important parts of yourself, and you gave up on the things that align to your purpose and passion. You’re stuck, aimless, and unsure of yourself, so you follow what everyone else says. Life feels difficult, or at least it doesn’t feel quite enough: not quite happy enough, purposeful enough, or good enough.

Who can predict LIFE? Life has its turbulences and no one can go through all the struggles that LIFE throws us alone. Every person needs someone who "gets it" and is committed to working in partnership with you to find short term answers, generate long term solutions and getting to a place of understanding and peace. I have dedicated my life to helping people, children and adults, go through their LIFE's ups and downs without being drowned and getting to a place of acceptance and satisfaction.

Parenthood. It's meant to be a joy, a miracle, a time of overflowing love. But sometimes, the journey takes unexpected turns, leaving you feeling lost, overwhelmed, and alone.
