Somatic Therapists in Comanche County, OK

Jessica also has an extensive background in women's health education, and she deeply understands the curveballs women can face as they journey through various stages of life. Through her own personal experiences and professional training, she has developed a passion for helping women navigate their changes in life! She also enjoys working with teenagers and young adults. As a former middle school teacher and a mom of three, she has a front row seat to the challenges they face today. Additionally, she specializes in grief work and trauma-based somatic approaches incorporating the connection of mind, body, & spirit.

My practice draws clients who want a place where they can show up as their most authentic selves. I work with depressed, anxious, neurodivergent individuals and people in relationships to help them find ways they can "be here now" in an increasingly distracting and devastating world. I also work with parents, military members and their spouses, and other helping professionals. My clients need the opportunity to safely experiment with exploring new ways of being, whether that looks like practicing somatic co-regulation or role playing a difficult conversation. I am honored to join others on their journey to self-rediscovery!

If you find yourself struggling to live your best life, I am here to offer help to transform the challenges that prevent you from living the life you desire. My honest and compassionate approach to counseling will provide you with a safe place to explore areas of your life that are needing attention. Together, we can create balance and peace to heal past and present experiences.

You might feel like you’re drowning AND on fire at the same time. By looking for a therapist to help you, you're taking the first step to say this CAN get better. A lot of people find going to a therapist for the first time to be uncomfortable, so I'm impressed you are being good to yourself, being brave, and swallowing back those fears and pushing forward toward healing. I love working with couples and individuals to bring both symptom relief and deep change that heals and doesn't just put a band-aid on your issues. I have a passion for teletherapy, received formal training, and can treat Medicaid clients anywhere in Oklahoma.

As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I work with barriers and unresolved elements of experience that create patterns in and through our lives. Patterns can dictate our past, present and future if left unattended. My focus is to work with individuals and families to empower themselves through identification of stored experiences and patterns. I provide a safe place to be curious and observe and work with parts of our experience that are asking for attention. I incorporate tracking body sensations and the rhythms of nervous system in order to bring awareness to stress, tension, and trauma in the nervous system and body.

​I consider it a great honor when someone invites me to help with their struggles. My passion is to help people heal who have been devastated by trauma, addiction, and stressful life events. I work with all kinds of trauma such as childhood abuse/neglect, unexpected life events, a health crisis, and betrayal trauma caused by deception related to infidelity, porn, emotional affairs, and addiction. I use unique blends of EMDR therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model in healing betrayal trauma. My therapeutic style utilizes a blend of attachment & polyvagal theory, and interpersonal neurobiology.

Sometimes "talk therapy" isn't enough. EMDR works directly with the brain and the way thoughts, memory, feelings, beliefs and body sensations are stored when we experience disturbing events/trauma. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist experienced in treating traumatic stress reactions, depression, anxiety, grief & loss. I specialize in using EMDR, IFS-EMDR, Flash Technique, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Image Transformation Therapy (ImTT), somatic awareness, and mindfulness tools with a focus on: the helping professions, survivors of trauma, natural disasters, critical incidents, adverse childhood/ life experiences.

If you've ever found yourself thinking "I don't know who I am/what I want/what I need", I am the therapist for you. Together, we will address negative self-talk while fostering hope, a kinder inner voice, and freedom from perfectionism. I help clients assert boundaries and end people-pleasing habits. My clients learn to reconnect with themselves, manage overwhelming emotions and burnout, and find peace from inner shame. My approach addresses trauma, helps cultivate authentic identity, and supports clients in rediscovering meaning and purpose.

Life is a journey, not a destination. I am here to help people along their path, whatever that may bring. I serve teens, adults, families and couples. I come form a multi- cultural and diverse background that helps me work with all populations while always taking into account the uniqueness of each of us. I help clients struggling with anxiety, depression, autism, anger, OCD, trauma, ADHD, personality disorders, difficult life transitions, low self-esteem, work place stress, and/or relationship difficulties.

Therapy is a vulnerable experience that can be scary and overwhelming at first. We are all unique, and it's important to find a therapist who truly listens and can support a client in their individual journey. I value diversity and strive to always continue evolving as a human and as a therapist. Motivation to change is often present, but putting hopes and dreams into action can be daunting and feel impossible. I love helping clients tap into hidden strengths, accept challenges, and foster a deeper level of self love and acceptance. Life feels lighter and brighter when we learn how to love ourselves, flaws and all.

As a licensed professional counselor & a registered dietitian, I am uniquely suited to offer you comprehensive treatment addressing your mind and body. If you come to me, be ready to do life-changing work. Through internal parts work, energy, somatic awareness, and emdr therapies, we delve beyond talk therapy alone to find the underlying roots that are causing chaos in your life. Your belief system is respected as we hold a spiritual container for our work. I love my job because many clients graduate as empowered individuals, removing the blocks to their highest potential.

Have you been in therapy for as long as you can remember and still have no idea how to regulate your emotions, what to do with your life, or how to maintain healthy relationships? Do you feel things so very deeply, and no one else seems to understand? Maybe you don't know how to turn off intrusive thoughts in your mind, and are desperate to find connection with something that’s real. Are you a caregiver navigating complex parenting dynamics and feeling distressed and hopeless? Have you suffered loss, invalidation, or abuse and have never been able to fully put that weight down? If so, you are my people.

Welcome, I am glad you are here! I am an experienced therapist that's willing to listen and validate you. My goal is to have everyone feel welcomed and heard. I am an adolescent and adult certified professional trauma, CSAYC (Credentialed Sexual Abuse Youth Clinician) therapist working with trauma victims from war, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, physical and emotional abuse, individuals fleeing countries, of all ages and backgrounds, using somatic psychology, trauma-focused therapy, emotionally focused therapy, cognitive trauma therapy, and EMDR tools, family system approach, and client center therapy.

My goal as your therapist is to provide an honest and encouraging atmosphere to help you navigate through life's highs and lows. I will help you build upon your own unique set of strengths in order to confront problems and overcome obstacles. I will listen to you in a nonjudgmental manner and we will work to smooth out the worry and confusion that life can throw at you. Working together in a relationship of trust and sharing I can help you set a new course in life where you can achieve self-fulfillment and awareness.

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.

As the daughter of First Responders, and granddaughter to two Veterans, there is a special place in my heart for helping our Nations Hero's heal the wounds acquired while saving and protecting us! Thank You! The last 13 years I have had the pleasure of helping people with a range of mental, emotional and behavioral heath problems such as addictions to substances and behaviors, depression, anxiety, PTSD, parenting/family/relationship problems, life management, TBI, ASD, and treatment resistant depression in adults and teens. I am EMDR trained, working towards certification.

At some point, we often find ourselves struggling to get past a problem, whether that problem is with an important relationship, or an inner emotional struggle. I enjoy working with others to understand how one came to be in such conflict and how one can move from old ways of coping to newer healthier ways. I believe working from a relational perspective is an important way to create an atmosphere of trust. I strive to help my patients better understand their thoughts, feelings, and actions. The more we know about ourselves the more freedom we have to make better choices in work, play, and relationships.
