About Rilda
As a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist in Oklahoma for over 20 years, I have a systemic perspective on the issues clients bring to therapy. I understand that your difficulties exist in relationship to your larger circle of family, friends and colleagues. Clients appreciate this perspective because it seems like I “get it” differently than someone who doesn’t view people systemically.
Some of the specific struggles I treat are coping with all types of grief and loss (not just death), managing life transitions, anxiety/stress, caregiver issues, sleep struggles, communication, anger management, money/financial issues, self-esteem and experiencing compassion fatigue and burnout.
A particular passion of mine is working with Third Culture Kids (TCKs), especially helping them transition to living in the United States. I have walked alongside TCKs and Adult TCKs for many years and have extensive experience in this therapeutic area.
Ultimately, I believe, you are the expert on your story and you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming the things that challenge you! I hope to be someone who can help you along the way! Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started.
