Divorce Therapists in Oklahoma

I enjoy working with anyone who is struggling to understand themselves and their behavior. While we can not force someone else to change, changing how we react to others can often bring about change in the relationship. I see counseling as a journey. You are the driver and I am the passenger pointing out road signs. My job is not to judge but to make sure you are aware of your options and their consequences. Whether it is childhood issues, parenting skills, stress, anxiety, depression or problematic relationships, talking to an unbiased trained professional can be of great benefit.

We all want to feel connected, nurtured and loved in our relationships. When disconnection happens, we experience both emotional and physical pain; loneliness and isolation keep us distant. We get trapped in negative cycles and aren’t sure how to reconnect in love and trust. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) can help you stop the cycle, heal the relationship pain that keeps you stuck, improve communication and bring love and connection back into your relationship. In addition to being an EFT therapist, I am also a national provider for Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) a model that treats trauma and PTSD.

I have worked with children and families for over twenty-five years and I never cease to be amazed at their resiliency. What I have learned is that children do cope with life struggles, but increasing the likelihood that they develop positive coping skills often depends on the support that surrounds them. Working with children and adults to recognize their own strengths and to learn new strategies for success remains a focus of my practice.

After more than 25 years of experience as a therapist, I still am excited about helping clients to obtain the changes they desire.

My primary passion and area of focus is children of divorce, blended families, and healing marriages. I have been working within this area of interest professionally since 2010, with personal experiences of having a blended family since 2005. Then opening Anchor of Hope in 2018 to help other families. Treatment often includes both individual and family counseling with a focus on grief following a divorce, strengthening and healing biological family relationships, and understanding and encouraging the process of blending that often takes place through remarriage and other life transitions, such as new siblings, moving, etc.
