And not always in the ways we expect or desire. When life's bumps & turns leave you feeling discouraged, despairing or desperate, counseling can help you work through your feelings, assess your options, discover your strengths and inner resources, and regain your perspective. I have been a practicing therapist for 18 years, seeing children age 12 and up, adolescents, adults, couples & families.
As a licensed professional counselor and a licensed alcohol & drug counselor, I would feel privileged to help you with whatever issues may be disrupting your peace of mind at present. You will find a comfortable, safe & non-judgmental environment in which to unpack and sort through the "baggage" that weighs you down. Married or not, no matter the make up of the couple, problems in communication, values differences, role performance and self-esteem, to name a few, are common.
Understanding the prior programming and expectations that partners bring into the relationship can give each person insight into the needs and motives of the other, decreasing conflict and misunderstanding.

I was born in Oklahoma and raised in rural Texas, but have lived most of my adult life in the OKC area with my husband of over 40 years, with whom I raised two children, and have been blessed with four grandchildren.
My bachelor's degree was earned from Texas Tech University, and I took 18 hours of psychology because I found it so fascinating, but somehow it never occurred to me to major in it!
When our children were adolescents, I began the master's program at UCO and received my degree in counseling in 1998.

The issues that can negatively impact a person's emotional health and functioning are as varied as the human race itself is.
Sometimes people feel they are they are the only ones who experience certain emotions, or that their concerns are trivial, even silly.
Neither is the case at all!
If something is troubling you, life is too short to endure it alone and allow it to rob you of enjoying your life.
Counseling allows you to share your concerns in a compassionate and confidential setting, to feel heard and understood, while working as a team with your therapist to find new ways of addressing those concerns.

A fascinating, but frustrating, phenomenon that therapists witness much more than we would like is that of the self-sabotage syndrome.
You've probably observed it in someone you love - or maybe even yourself - even though you may not have realized it at the time.
It's very common in people who have been in recovery awhile, which usually leads to criticism and self-blame, which in turn fuels the downward spiral of shame, self-loathing & attempts to numb those feelings by using drugs or alcohol.
Even in people who don't abuse drugs or alcohol, this syndrome sometimes occurs when things have been going really well in an area that has historically been fraught with disappointment or failure.
