Therapists in Tulsa, OK

Welcome! I'm sure a little bit about me would be helpful. Foremost, I embrace a dialectical worldview in my practice. This means that I willingly acknowledge that multiple truths can exist at the same time. I have witnessed this stance give clients permission to explore their own experiences at a greater depth, and release feelings of shame and guilt. With years of experience working for an antiviolence organization, those that have survived trauma are resilient and strong. I believe in the ability for those seeking therapy to find own truths with some assistance from me as the clinical guide.

It's incredibly human to find ourselves anxious, detached, and overwhelmed. Disconnect in relationships can often feel miserable, and keeping healthy boundaries and navigating conflict can be a struggle. My expertise is in creating a therapeutic relationship that goes beyond traditional cognitive approaches, valuing an embodied sense of change, where patterns can shift, trauma can feel integrated, and we can achieve an overall sense of resilience and connectedness, to ourselves and each other.

Every person on the earth needs to feel safe, valued, loved, and respected. My job as a therapist is to help clients tap into their God-given skills, abilities, and strengths to discover the jewel hidden beneath all the pain, depression, anxiety, and loss. People need to know their life has a purpose, and when they win and overcome, they give others hope and courage that they can do the same. The goal is freedom and the ability to live the life God intended. We will laugh, cry, and scream if necessary.

If I were to ask you to name all the things you LOVE...how long would it take you to name YOURSELF? Do you feel like your not in control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions? Like your brain has a mind of it's own? Feel so tired you didn't want to get out of bed? Keep forgetting your keys, lose your train of thought, or can't seem to focus on tasks? Some days it's so bad you don't recognize yourself in the mirror or in pictures. Hopelessness becomes your daily go to feeling. You either want to sleep all day or eat everything in sight. Then comes feeling like a failure and the desire to just give up and run away. There is hope.

If you have been told you "have" a depression disorder and always will, you'll be happy to know there are actually resolutions. Accepting that you get to decide how you think and as a result, how you feel, is what I'm here to help guide you toward. Anger, anxiety, and depression are OUTCOME emotions. There are always emotions underneath them that are provoking those outcomes. Together, we will identify those and work from the root causes to solutions.

My counseling philosophy is grounded in trauma-informed practices, meaning I value collaboration, empowerment, and emotional and physical safety above all else.

As a social worker and through lived experience, I am highly aware of the daily social, institutional, and communal injustices that impact different historically oppressed people.
