TRAUMA THERAPIST OKC | ACROSS OKLAHOMA & TEXAS

I understand that your life is already busy and stressful, that’s why I offer secure, HIPAA compliant online therapy. No need to worry about traffic, commute time, or scheduling conflicts. With online sessions, you can access therapy from the comfort and safety of your home or private space, allowing you to fit therapy into your life without extra stress.

All client forms and signatures are completed online and securely stored in a HIPAA-compliant electronic health record. Through the online client portal, you can access intake forms, upload and download documents, schedule appointments, make payments, and send secure messages. Additionally, you’ll receive a secure link for our telehealth therapy sessions.

If you experience mild to moderate symptoms, absence of suicidal/homicidal ideation and psychosis, no serious medical conditions, and no recent inpatient hospitalization, then you are likely suited for online therapy. Please schedule a complimentary consultation so we can discuss your symptoms and needs.

You must reside in Oklahoma or Texas for our therapy sessions.

Please note that I do not provide psychotherapy for individuals who are court-mandated or who require a higher level of care, such as inpatient or residential treatment. Additionally, I do not conduct evaluations for fitness for duty, custody cases, disability claims, or Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letters.

At this time, I do not accept clients who may request testimonials or therapy records for use in legal proceedings. This policy is intended to protect the confidentiality and trust essential to the therapeutic relationship and to avoid potential conflicts that may arise from court involvement.

I do not offer in-person sessions at this time. Conducting therapy from my own space provides me with comfort and opportunity for self-care during gaps in my schedule. This setup helps lower overhead expenses, allowing me to avoid increasing therapy fees. It also enhances safety by eliminating potential risks, like unexpected intruders, creating a secure and focused setting for our work together.

However, I recognize that some individuals may feel more comfortable or better served by in-person therapy. Clients with intense emotional dysregulation or those at higher risk may require a level of support that is sometimes more effectively provided in an in-person setting.

I’ve chosen not to be on insurance panels to prioritize client care and confidentiality. Insurance involves sharing personal information and following strict guidelines, which can limit privacy and flexibility. This approach allows me to provide a more personalized, confidential, and client-focused experience without administrative constraints.

If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits, you can use them to help cover the cost of therapy. This allows you to work with me, even though I’m not on insurance panels. I will provide you a “superbill” to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Read more here

Yes, online EMDR therapy follows the same principles as in-person sessions but is conducted via a secure video platform. During the session, I guide you through the same phases of EMDR, including memory processing using bilateral stimulation. I use specialized online tools, such as visual cues or auditory tones, to replicate the hand movements used in traditional in-person EMDR therapy.

I can show you how it works during our video consultation.

Yes, research suggests that EMDR therapy can be just as effective when conducted online as it is in person. Many clients find the convenience and comfort of being in their own space to be beneficial for the therapeutic process.

It's important that you're in a private, quiet space where you won't be interrupted during your session.

You will need a video-enabled device with a microphone and internet connection, such as a computer or tablet. Cell phone is suitable for our initial video consultation but is not ideal for therapy sessions. With CBT approach, I frequently utilize screen sharing and introduce techniques through handouts and worksheet, so using a computer or tablet would be more beneficial for you. For EMDR therapy, a larger screen is ideal for visual bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements.

Consistent weekly therapy provides steady support for complex issues like trauma or anxiety. Regular sessions build trust, prevent slowdowns or setbacks, allow for faster skill integration, speeding up your ability to apply them in daily life, and more cost-effective for you over time. By scheduling weekly sessions, we can promptly address any challenges or new issues that may arise. My ultimate goal is for you to experience faster relief and make tangible progress so you do not have to stay in therapy forever!

For clients who are highly motivated and eager to accelerate their progress, I offer extended therapy sessions (up to 1 hour 30 minutes/session) and Intensive therapy sessions (3-9 hours a week).
