Female Therapists in Skiatook, OK

I help individuals, families, and couples work through a variety of struggles, including trauma, anxiety, emotional regulation, ineffective communication, and life adjustments. My goal when working with a client is to identify the problem, create an action plan, and work toward goals.

I offer effective, evidence-based psychotherapy in a variety of settings. I treat a number of behavioral health disorders, and provides an empathic, collaborative therapeutic approach to guide patients towards goals of treatment. Treatment focuses on acceptance and change to allow client to enjoy their best life. Currently, offering patients in-office psychotherapy services.

Over the last 20 years, I have been working in a community based setting with adults, adolescents, and children with chronic mental and behavioral health issues including but not limited to those struggling with mood disorders, anxiety, depression, anger, PTSD, substance abuse, behavioral and impulse control disorders, trauma, and relationship struggles. I recognize how difficult change can be and strive to be the catalyst in that process. We all deserve the chance to enjoy life.

Who am I? Why do I feel this way? Is there a way out? If you’ve lost your "spark" and aren't sure how to move forward, this is the place for you. I will walk with you as you navigate life’s challenges, while empowering and supporting you in individual growth. Let’s face it - life is hard. While we work so hard to take care of ourselves and others, it can sometimes feel like a lonely road to walk. In the words of Bob Dylan, “all I can be is me… whoever that is”. Whoever you are - you deserve to feel confident, happy, and at peace. I can help you get there.

Here at Overcross Counseling and Equine Services LLC we work with clients with varying reasons for wanting to participate in counseling. We use our horse as co-facilitators to help engage our clients during the sessions. We provide learning appropriates for each learning style our clients may have as they work through and develop skills to help them reach their therapeutic goals. We want our clients to have a different approach to counseling as they find hope and watch themselves crossover into a pathway of happiness.

Do anxiety, panic, depression or relationship struggles keep you paralyzed from performing normal daily activities? Do you have constant self-defeating thoughts or worries that you find are "spiralling"out of control? Do you find it difficult to express your needs to others? Is your family struggling? If your symptoms include racing thoughts, anxiety, anger, fear, depression, relationship struggles, emptiness, trouble relaxing, low self esteem, feeling overwhelmed, mental exhaustion or just not feeling like "you" anymore, there is help. I would love to help you conquer these symptoms and gain strength, peace and hope in your life.

Life is hard. Feelings are hard, and sometimes we don't understand where they are coming from or why, we might just be reacting. We may feel angry, hurt, sad, depressed, disappointed, anxious, or a mixture of these feelings. We might feel stuck in a loop, and feeling like we can't get out. Sometimes we may need some help sorting it all out, and to make sense of it all. My work with children and adults involves helping the client become aware of why we have feelings and what is the best way to express them. Feelings are okay! I use an eclectic approach to help clients begin to piece it all together.

Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you didn’t have anxiety, depression, or substance abuse problems? I believe that clients carry the seed of their own healing within them. My job as a therapist is to help you find and nurture that healing. I work with clients from teens through the end of life. I have specialized knowledge to work with the chronically ill, as well as additional training in alcohol & drug addiction and/or gambling disorders. I offer both individual and family sessions.

Do you or your children struggle to live in the world that surrounds us all? Find yourself feeling down or anxious? I'm here to help you navigate the "bumps" in the road to your inner peace.

I am passionate about helping others that just may have not found the "right fit." I assertively work with clients on adjusting their A, B, C's... actions, behaviors, and cognitions. I appreciate clients that have shied away from therapy before, but are open and willing to give it another try! I meet people where they are- total judgement-free zone here. Experienced in working with crises intervention where there is unexpected loss for someone who always felt "therapy is not for me. I will never need it."

Are you tired of constantly feeling on edge? This is not your fault. You are not broken. Your body is trying to heal itself by processing the stressful/traumatic situations you have been through. Your nervous system is getting flooded (unintended overwhelm) while your body is trying to process the situations you have been through. Because the nervous system is flooded, your brain is unable to file the memories as things that happened in the past. This is where I come in. I help you navigate these memories in ways that do not overwhelm your nervous system so that you are able to file the memories as things that happened in the past.
