Therapy does not have to mean two chairs and fifty minutes of talking. Sometimes it does, and that works. But the nervous system also processes in motion, in making, in rhythm. However we work, I measure it the same way: by how you are relating. To the people you love, to your own body, to nature, to the life you actually have. Here is how we can work together, and the mix can change as you do.
In the office or online
Traditional sessions at my Oklahoma City office or by telehealth anywhere in Oklahoma. Body-centered work drawing on EMDR, somatic therapy, and parts work. We go underneath the story you already know how to tell, and we do not stay solemn the whole time. Some of the most important moments in this room are the ones where we both end up laughing and crying about it all.
Walking, hiking, and running sessions
Some things will not surface sitting down. Walking side by side changes the conversation: eyes forward instead of locked in contact, the body regulating itself through rhythm, the ground doing some of the holding. These sessions are also relationship practice in the most literal sense: with your own body, with the weather, with the land you live on. The steady left-right of walking and running pairs naturally with the bilateral, body-based processing at the heart of how I work.
Creative and expressive sessions
For what words cannot reach yet. We use image, making, music and creative process as a way into material that talking circles around will never access. This is embodiment and expression in service of processing, not an art class.
Who I work with
Adults.
Maybe you are in the middle of something hard. Maybe something is shifting and you do not have words for it yet. We work with the stories your body is still carrying, the patterns you keep finding yourself back in, the parts of you that got left behind a long time ago. And the basics: sleep, your nervous system, the rhythms of your days. Even one-on-one, the measure of the work is relational: how you are connecting to the people in your life, to your own body and desire, to the world you move through.
Couples and relationships.
I work with couples finding their way back to each other: emotionally, physically, erotically. Disconnection, changes in desire, sensuality that went quiet, curiosity about your own sexuality, or simply wanting conversations with each other that go somewhere new. We slow down, listen to what has gone unsaid for too long, and build actual tools for repair, not just better communication scripts. Every relationship structure is welcome here.
Adolescents.
Teens get the same respect adults do: a place where nothing about them is treated as a problem to be fixed. We work with the nervous system, with EMDR when it fits, and with what is actually going on.
My Approach
You have told the story. In therapy, to friends, to yourself at 2 a.m. You can narrate your childhood like a documentary. You know your patterns, your triggers, probably your attachment style. And something still is not moving.
That is not failure but perhaps instead this is insight reaching the end of what insight can do. The rest does not live in words. It lives in your body, in the tension that shows up before you can name what is wrong, in the old reactions that replay no matter how much you understand them. This is where we start. Depth therapy is not a detour around the hard thing. It is diving into it, with company.
I work at the intersection of the clinical and the contemplative: EMDR, somatic therapy, and parts work, held alongside fifteen years of yoga and mindfulness teaching and a lifelong pull toward the questions underneath the questions.
I measure this work by one thing: how you are relating. To the people you love, to your own body and desire, to nature, to your work, even to your phone. We take your nervous system seriously. We take your soul seriously. And we pause to remember the divine comedy of it all.
Sessions happen in my office, online across Oklahoma, or in motion. Some things only loosen when the body is moving, so we can walk, hike, or run while we work. Others surface through making something with your hands.
This work tends to fit people in the middle of something: midlife, a marriage that wants more, desire asking to be taken seriously, a faith taken apart and a longing that stayed, a body that is changing, a life that looks fine from outside and feels out of sync from inside.
