About

Hey there, if you're dealing with issues related to your present life, or working through issues from the past; relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, blocked creativity, trauma, depression, anxiety; we can work on that stuff. Or maybe you're drinking or using a little (or a lot) more than you're comfortable talking to your family about and just want to maintain perspective; we can keep an eye on that too.

My name's Nikki and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor here in Oklahoma. My approach is generally to help people better and more fully "see" themselves, through open-minded dialogue combining support with a challenge to grow- and to provide the tools with which to do so. People often lose touch with their core values and find themselves lost, questioning who they really are, and what they truly need, not just want. Acceptance and commitment therapy combines a non-judgemental understanding of others with clear encouragement to take the initial actions toward their identified goals, as many people want to change but are afraid to, and fall short, often trying to 'protect' ourselves from anticipated or imagined outcomes. A meaningful and fulfilling life requires the will- fearful or not- to venture toward one's values, without guarantees but with a belief that some risks are far outweighed by what is to be gained. Let's team up for a while to help you move positively forward on this ridiculous, incredible, often messy adventure of life.

I know from my own experience that all of the initial therapy decisions can be paralyzing so this is a reminder not to freeze. Most decisions are not final and sometimes you may just not click with someone so don't be afraid to speak up or make a change if the first, second, or tenth therapist feels mismatched. Although by the time you get to the tenth one you may want to begin the session by addressing whatever went on with the first nine.
