Individual Therapy at DBT PROJECT: OKLAHOMA

Individual Therapy can help you:

• Process painful, overwhelming, or confusing experiences. 
• Navigate life transitions and major changes. 
• Understand and manage intense emotions. 
• Break patterns that keep showing up in your relationships, work, or daily life. 
• Heal from trauma without feeling rushed or pushed. 
• Develop self-compassion, confidence, and a stronger sense of who you are. 

Therapy at DBT PROJECT: OKLAHOMA is collaborative, practical, and tailored to your specific goals. We believe meaningful change happens when we balance acceptance with growth, learning to understand yourself more deeply while also building the skills needed to create a life worth living.

Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we'll explore the bigger picture: your relationships, environment, nervous system, life experiences, and the patterns that have helped you survive up until now. Together, we'll identify what's working, what's not, and what needs to change.

My work is rooted in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), but I also integrate a variety of trauma-informed, experiential, and relational approaches depending on your needs. Some clients want concrete skills and strategies. Others need space to process grief, trauma, or identity. Most people need a little of both.

Approaches I may incorporate include:

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) 
• Internal Family Systems (IFS) 
• Brainspotting 
• Sandtray Therapy 
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) 
• Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) 
• Making Sense of Your Worth 

Most clients attend weekly 50-minute sessions. While virtual therapy is available, I strongly encourage in-person work whenever possible. My office was intentionally designed to support experiential, creative, and sensory-based interventions that simply don't translate as well through a screen.

Sometimes experiences are too complex, overwhelming, or deeply ingrained to fully capture with words alone.

Sandtray uses miniature figures, objects, and a tray of sand to create scenes that represent emotions, relationships, memories, internal conflicts, or life experiences. The process can help bring awareness to patterns, themes, and feelings that may be difficult to access through traditional conversation.

Sandtray can be especially helpful for trauma, grief, identity exploration, life transitions, and individuals who tend to think visually or struggle to put their experiences into words. Some clients use it regularly, while others incorporate it only occasionally as part of a broader therapy process.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, clients have access to a dedicated creative therapy space filled with a wide variety of crafting activities and expressive arts projects. Depending on your interests and therapeutic goals, this might include painting, coloring, clay work, junk journaling, sensory bottle creation, rhinestoning, collage, textile work, and more. 

These experiences aren't about being artistic or creating something "good." They are interactive and sensory-processing friendly mediums for exploring emotions, processing experiences, and regulating the nervous system.

Some clients never touch the craft supplies. Others discover that keeping their hands busy helps them stay present, talk more freely, and engage more deeply in the therapeutic process. There is no right way to use the space, only what works best for you.

Your session fee supports more than the time spent in the therapy room. It reflects years of specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and trauma-focused treatment approaches, ongoing consultation and continuing education, a thoughtfully curated therapy space designed with neurodivergent clients in mind, and access to unique creative and experiential therapeutic resources.

My goal is to provide high-quality, individualized care that supports lasting growth and meaningful change.

Insurance

I am currently in-network with HealthChoice. If you have a different insurance provider, I’m happy to provide a superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

While insurance can be helpful, many clients choose private-pay therapy for increased privacy, flexibility, and freedom from insurance-imposed treatment limitations.
