About My Clients
I enjoy working with children, families, adults, and couples, and I strive to provide a therapeutic environment as a Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed in OK and AR. I enjoy helping couples navigate relationship issues and fall in love again, recovering from challenges and betrayal. I have advanced training in trauma techniques using EMDR and TF-CBT therapy. I have experience working with complex family dynamics, teens facing problems, adoption-related RAD, and autism.
My Background and Approach
I utilize a narrative therapy approach to empower individuals to become the experts of their own lives. This involves helping them "re-author" their life stories by distancing themselves from negative narratives and crafting more empowering ones, effectively viewing their challenges as separate entities. Additionally, ensure specific training in emotionally focused therapy, trauma-informed practices, EMDR, and sex therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Marriage and family therapy uses a "systems approach," exploring how various elements influence our responses to problems. There are known knowns—things we are aware that we know—and known unknowns, which are the things we recognize we don't know. Often, we struggle to identify the right questions to ask or to shift our perspective, leaving us feeling stuck. Therapy provides a safe environment to navigate these challenges.
