Therapists in Meridian, OK

I am passionate about helping others achieve their goals for healthier relationships, improved behaviors, and developing a more mindful positive approach to life's challenging circumstances. My therapeutic approach is Client Centered which means the therapy I provide is custom fit to address the needs of each client. I am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist; for those who are interested in a mindful approach to changing behaviors, I provide a relaxing, calm environment in which I direct the individual through progressive relaxation and soothing visual scenarios. Hypnosis can help overcome Depression, Anxiety, Grief, low Self-Esteem, and improve confidence. I have worked in the mental health field for 18+ years -graduated from Southern Nazarene University and have training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Balancing Stress and Anxiety, EMDR and Hypnosis, and Neurolinguistic Programing.

Imagine going to an amusement park and seeing all the joy and happiness around you but not being able to enjoy it yourself. You can smell the tantalizing smells and hear the contagious laughter. You long for the freedom to interact with those around you or at least be able to smile and mean it, yet there's something blocking that freedom. What is it? Is it depression? Is it severe anxiety? Is it overwhelming grief? Is it guilt and shame that hangs on you like an old worn out coat? Is it consuming fear that won't allow you to step into who you truly are and keeps you bound behind a frail representation of You. What can you do when your perception is woven with lies, fear, brokenness and pain? Is there a way to break free of your pain, fear, and beliefs that you are nothing more than your behaviors or nothing more than your brokenness? ABSOLUTELY! You have so much to offer and so much to give! It may be underneath some depression, or some anxiety, or some guilt and shame, or possibly some fear but I believe there is HOPE and there is FREEDOM for you! Some of us have went through tremendous pain, some have experienced immense trauma, and some just have feelings that seem to be uncontrollable and we may not even know why. I believe we are in this together and finding someone that we can open up to and relate to can be an incredible healing experience for both people. I use a faith based approach with those that are open to that form of therapy. If you prefer a different modality then I use cognitive behavioral therapy as an approach to counseling. I am very much looking forward to meeting you and beginning a counseling relationship where we can both grow and learn from each other.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with over 3 years of experience working as a counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, self-harm, relationship issues, parenting problems, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

As a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist in Oklahoma for over 20 years, I have a systemic perspective on the issues clients bring to therapy. I understand that your difficulties exist in relationship to your larger circle of family, friends and colleagues. Clients appreciate this perspective because it seems like I “get it” differently than someone who doesn't view people systemically. Some of the specific struggles I treat are coping with all types of grief and loss (not just death), managing life transitions, anxiety/stress, caregiver issues, sleep struggles, communication, anger management, money/financial issues, self-esteem and experiencing compassion fatigue and burnout. A particular passion of mine is working with Third Culture Kids (TCKs), especially helping them transition to living in the United States. I have walked alongside TCKs and Adult TCKs for many years and have extensive experience in this therapeutic area. Ultimately, I believe, you are the expert on your story and you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming the things that challenge you! I hope to be someone who can help you along the way! Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started.
