Female Therapists in Conway, AR

Life, unfortunately, doesn't come with a handbook! Everyone can use a little help now and then navigating through the rough patches. As your counselor, I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment to help you develop a strong sense of self and meaningful relationships. I specialize in working with people struggling with sexual issues, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and childhood trauma impacting your life today. Additionally, I assist individuals and couples through the battles and transitions they may face in different stages of their lives.

Despite ethnicity, socioeconomic status, religious affiliation, or any other personal experiences or beliefs, each of us have the same start to life at birth: a pristine slate on which to begin our individual journey. Due to my own personal experiences, I strongly believe I have an affinity for troubled youth, young adults, and families. I know that I am blessed beyond words to have come out of my own childhood trauma with meager scars and have been given the privilege of walking alongside individuals struggling with the same sense of stability and self-worth I encountered as a child.

I believe we all need different levels of support at different times in our lives. I provide individual and family counseling. I'm open minded and provide a judgement free environment! Therapy isn't meant for forever, it's meant to support you during the rough patches, to develop coping skills, and it's to process your experiences to best utilize those coping skills.

"You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." A.A. Milne

Do you ever experience having thoughts, images, or memories stuck in your head? Sometimes you may even experience reactions in your body, such as: heart beating fast, pressure in your chest, or a rock in your stomach. Sometimes people even feel like they are going numb. You do not have to live this way, there is a solution. Often, we manage things effectively, but occasionally we experience life events that can be disturbing to our system. Most of the time, our brain can digest the situations we encounter. However, sometimes those skills that have worked in the past are no longer helping.

Working through a scary concept, worried about a potential diagnosis, newly diagnosed, what does this mean for me? How do I integrate it into who I believe myself to be. What if there's no diagnosis and I'm just struggling and can't figure out why? What if all those things people said about me were true. What if they weren't?

*** I am not currently taking new clients*** I'm an Independently Licensed Psychological Examiner and behavioral health care professional from the central Arkansas area. My practice specializes in using a combination of strengths based focus and basic behavioral and cognitive principles in a client centered manner; practicing motivational interviewing with an emphasis on partnering with you in order to facilitate your intrinsic motivation for change. These approaches are especially effective for Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, and Psychotic Disorders.

I am an advocate of preventative mental health and reducing the stigma attached to mental illness and emotional problems. I believe that psychological disorders, difficulty coping and healing from life changes, grief, and stress should be handled with dignity and respect with as much knowledge and care as physical illnesses. There should be no shame or embarrassment attached to healing oneself and being the person you are created to be.

I am excited to provide a space where healing and growth can thrive. Life can bring challenges, some expected and some not. During these times, it may be difficult to identify the right next step in improving our mental and physical health. Counseling provides a safe space to explore what growth means for us and how we can achieve our goals and find the best version of ourselves. I enjoy working with individuals and families across the life span who might be struggling with things such as PTSD, LGBTQ+ related issues, attachment disorders, mood disorders, behavioral concerns, ADHD, self image issues and anxiety.

Life doesn’t come with a set of instructions. Sometimes we find that what we are doing is no longer working in the way we want it to. We may find ourselves experiencing work problems, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, difficulties reaching goals, issues with parenting, grief, or just feeling like life isn’t what we want it to be. I help clients identify and build on their current strengths, while identifying ways to strengthen and build on areas that may be more challenging. It is my intention to create a safe space for clients to process their experiences, share their challenges, and find the best path forward.

I have a heart to work with individuals, marriages, and families.

"YOUR STORY MATTERS... and the rest is still unwritten". My goal is to work in a partnership with clients to assist them in recognizing their own strengths, self worth, and resilience to promote growth and positive changes. I have 10+ years of therapy experience (including: individual, family/couples, and group therapy) addressing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges including: past hurts (trauma), substance abuse, depression, anger, anxiety, self destructive behavior, loss of touch with reality, relationship issues, and various types of adjustments to life changes. My ideal client is one who is overcoming adversity.

Are you looking to make a change in your life? Maybe you have been struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, unemployment, finances, or life in general. You are not alone. According to a survey conducted by Mental Health America in 2020 and published last year, 21% of American's are struggling with their mental health. What I do: provide emotional support to clients during their time of difficulty to aid in helping them cope with the hardships faced in life and know that they are not alone. With me, you can rest easy knowing that you will have a judgment-free space to be heard.

I enjoy working with clients who are ready for change, need help establishing boundaries in relationships, and want to improve their daily lives through making action plans, learning coping skills, and working toward their goals for the future. Whether it is anxiety, depression, ADHD, or other life situations, lets tackle your issues together!

My approach blends clinical experience with natural compassion, humor, and insight. I am interactive in sessions, using a holistic approach with techniques from attachment theory, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), and somatic/trauma-focused therapy.
