Individual Counseling in Oklahoma City

Counseling is a good fit for adults who want clarity, structure, and meaningful change. Many clients come in feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally stuck, or worn down by ongoing stress related to work, family, trauma, substance use, legal systems, or immigration concerns.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, chronic stress, emotional regulation difficulties, substance use concerns, relationship strain, and major life transitions. Counseling focuses on how these issues are affecting daily functioning and what can realistically help.

Counseling is active and intentional. I listen carefully, track patterns over time, and help you understand what is happening emotionally and physically. Sessions often include practical tools, reflection, and preparation for stressful situations. This is not unstructured venting.

I do not tell clients how to live their lives. I do offer clear feedback, help identify patterns, and support better decision-making under stress. We work collaboratively, with honesty and respect.

Yes. My work is trauma-informed and focused on safety, emotional regulation, and reducing overwhelm. Trauma processing is approached carefully and at a pace that is appropriate for the client.

No. I use harm-reduction principles. This means meeting clients where they are, focusing on safety and reduced harm, and supporting realistic progress rather than perfection.

No. Counseling is not an evaluation and does not include reports, letters, or documentation for court, immigration, employment, or legal matters. Those services are offered separately through formal evaluation processes.

I do not provide letters or reports as part of ongoing counseling. Requests for documentation, evaluations, letters for court, immigration, employment, or Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) are handled separately from therapy through formal evaluation or documentation services. These requests may involve additional appointments, specific requirements, and separate fees. This separation protects the integrity of the therapeutic relationship and ensures that any documentation provided meets ethical, legal, and professional standards. I do not write letters for emotional support animals or pets.

Counseling is not crisis intervention. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing an acute mental health crisis, emergency services or crisis resources are more appropriate.

Counseling is available by appointment in Oklahoma City. An initial appointment or intake conversation helps determine whether counseling is a good fit and what type of support may be most appropriate.
