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.

You have found the power to change. You are now one step closer to a new you, empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. I offer you new and revolutionary methods for positive change that can and do work. That's why I call my practice Transformational Choice Therapies, Inc. Your therapy starts with an eclectic, integrative approach that is tailored to your needs. Just as a screwdriver will not fix every mechanical problem, I believe no single therapeutic modality will correct every psychological issue. In over 30 years of counseling, I have learned what works.

My aim is to address the immediate concerns of the people I work with in the greater context of their life experience. The people who see me are manifold, including children, adolescents, adults, and couples. I believe that people are more than the sum of a set of symptoms, and thus strive to incorporate the whole person into the therapeutic process. In attending to relational, emotional, spiritual, and existential concerns, I hope to help people live more fulfilling lives consistent with their values.

I have a passion to help people overcome trials of life, go in the direction of grace and acceptance, and come to terms with their shortcomings without feeling condemnation. My aim is to help people learn how to be hospitable rather than exist in a state of hostility or loneliness. While we cannot change difficult situations of our past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the resulting challenges in our life. We all share a common need to express emotions and learn new ways to cope effectively.

We all experience challenges and opportunities to grow and emerge stronger. I believe most humans instinctively move toward higher ground. Sometimes we need someone to walk alongside us who can help keep hope kindled and discover new, less painful, costly routes on the climb. I've had the privilege to journey with clients for over 25 years. My passion is working with those who've been marginalized or who experience themselves on the edges of community. I love witnessing clients do hard things, sit in difficult places, and face what scares them most.

Are you struggling to embrace your authentic self? Do you need help exploring all of your identity? Struggling with trauma? Needing help coping with a neurotypical world? I’m here to help and I’m dedicated to providing compassionate and empowering therapy to you while you navigate and heal from trauma. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based practices. Through the use of trauma focused care (like EMDR and Brainspotting) and an affirming stance towards the LGBTQIA+ community, I strive to create a safe and inclusive environment.

I graduated from the OU in 1982. I have been in been in private practice, providing psychotherapy in OK for over 40 years. I provide both short term problem focused and long term therapy. Anxiety, anger, and stress management programs are available. Regardless of the type of therapy offered my emphasis is on educating and empowering the client with useful tools. One of these tools is Tai Chi mindfulness exercises, when requested. These tools enable the client to identify, to understand and manage their issues when they leave my office.

I understand the difficulty of admitting the need for help and finding a person that is worthy of your trust. I hold my client's trust as sacred and consider it an honor each time I am invited into their life stories. I believe a good counseling service is one where the client has a sense of being in the "drivers seat" throughout the process. This approach allows people to have a strong sense of ownership of their personal growth that empowers them for future life challenges.

Finding a therapist and beginning the process can be both overwhelming and exhausting. Whether you are feeling anxious, worried, stressed, or have experienced a major life event, my passion lies in helping you find your strengths and realize you are not alone and it is never too late. My goal is to provide a safe, confidential and warm environment that encourages individuals,couples, and families to explore your concerns/needs and collaborate to problem solve.

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.

You’re desperate but determined to do anything you can to help your child be ok, and honestly, to make it easier for everyone. You try your best to keep them calm and manage their emotions, but the slightest thing can set off another tantrum. Their meltdowns make you feel scared, ashamed & guilty, like you’re being judged for somehow failing your child. You seriously wish that life was less difficult for them– that they could handle changes more easily, cultivate friendships, & learn to follow simple directions. But try as you might, there just doesn’t seem to be any real progress. You’re out of ideas and starting to lose hope.

Whether we are aware or not, we often already enlist those around us to be our "therapist," to HEAR our problems. The problem with this is that your friends, family, neighbours, co-workers or even your hairstylist are not equipped for this role. Why? Because they may not be able to listen without bias, carry opinions, or maintain your confidentiality. At Prince Family Counselling, you will receive complete, unbiased, non-judgmental, and empathic listening. A therapist who utilizes insight, and who will take time to understand. Going to a therapist doesn't have to constitute that something is wrong, see it as an investment in you!

I believe that a very important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. My natural approach to therapy is to create a safe and non-judgmental environment by providing empathy and developing trust. We will work together toward self-awareness and finding balance to produce healing and meaningful change. I enjoy working with families to build stronger relationships through understanding and positive communication.

I am often asked how I help my clients. First, I see you as more than a client. I could be in your shoes. I would want you to treat me like real person instead of just another client. I get to know you...the real you. I dedicate time to hear where you have been and how those experiences helped shape who you are today. Next, we identify the roadblocks that have kept you stuck. Lastly, we move into solutions. We work together to identify strategies and the most effective ways to implement them.

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.
