Female Therapists in Little Rock, AR

I am not accepting clients at this time.(Updated 5/5/23) Do you think yourself into a bad mood? Or can’t get out of your own way? Are you trying your hardest to get past any of the awful stuff in your life? Are you reeling from all the things going on around you but haven’t figured it out yet? If you are tired of just letting life happen, it may be time to figure out what is going on and start creating a meaningful life. Why not start today?

Life is both beautiful and challenging. Are you currently struggling with more of the difficult aspects of life? Feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious? Feel as though you're on an emotional rollercoaster and can't seem to get off? Having trouble creating meaning out of the hard stuff. I’m passionate about working with adults going through difficult transitions and/or stage-of-life issues and helping teens and parents navigate adolescence-a challenging time. I would love to help you create something good from all the hard and ugly. I'll be your biggest fan, back you up all the way while being honest, compassionate and real.

I have been working with all age groups of clients with an emphasis on depression, anxiety, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, for over 20 years. I often work with clients who have not succeeded with other therapies, with training in a broad range of clinical interventions.

Life isn't always easy, and our expectations often differ from those we imagine. I help couples, pre-marital couples & individuals in many of these life circumstances, such as infidelity, trauma, depression, anxiety, and feeling like you are not good enough or not worthy. How you overcome these obstacles should define you, not the hurt. If you would like to live in the future, not in the past, then I am the right therapist for you; I am specially trained to work with couples and trauma. your goals are my goals. I work at your pace and within the comfort of your environment via telehealth.

If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burn out, you don't have to navigate this difficult experience on your own. If you feel that your mental load is too heavy and you don't know where to begin, I can help.

Whether you are struggling with a life change (life-limiting diagnosis, divorce, a new phase of life), a loss (death, a relationship, job, sense of your own independence), feeling stuck (life isn't moving in the direction you had hoped, you want to feel different but just don't know where to start), or you are in pain (physical or emotional), I can be a non-biased sounding board and guide. I like to meet my clients "right where they are" and help you with tools to move in the direction you wish to be. I'm easy to talk to, not afraid to talk about hard things, and mix in my own "humanness" with a dose of humor in our sessions.

It takes immense courage and bravery to seek therapy. From the first moment you step into my office, and throughout our work together, your strength is honored and respected. Therapy, to me, is a collaborative journey where I walk alongside of you every step of the way providing, support, insight, and space for growth. Together, we will navigate the challenges you face and navigate towards a more fulfilling life.

Are you a person who finds yourself caring deeply for others while you struggle to care about yourself? Maybe you feel like an imposter and that there is no way that you can measure up to those around you. Do you avoid making decisions or taking risks because you know that you’ll fail anyway? You think even when something is a success that it is only a matter of time before it all falls apart. Do you want to feel that you are valued and have worth that allows you to establish the life that you imagine for yourself? Do you struggle to believe that it’s possible to feel good about yourself?

I am adamantly committed to helping my clients overcome barriers and achieve personal goals, whatever that may look like. I believe that change is possible and most often occurs when the approach is personalized to you, your needs and your life. My goal in working with clients is to empower them to be the best versions of themselves, whether that is recovering from an eating disorder, improving relationships or better managing the stress and anxiety that comes with day to day life. Personal resiliency is in all of us – I am here to help you connect with yours!

My ideal client is self motivated, verbally expressive, with therapy goals of improvement and growth. They ask questions and use suggestions from session. They usually like homework and I love to see the change in them.

Are you ready to be open? Open to change, to trying new things, to having new experiences and to having a healthy mind and body? Are you aware? Aware of how you talk to yourself, aware of the story you tell yourself and others about who you are? Are you ready to be focused on your present and not regretting the past or being anxious about the future? Are you ready to be engaged with the process of identifying who and what you value in life and make decisions that move you toward your values? You can do hard things and move towards those values even when it's difficult!

Since our society has shifted into a high tech world, text and email communication has dominated. Communication (TALKING to and with one another) has suffered. Real consequences include an epidemic OF lonliness among all age groups. Anxiety and depression are not uncommon and medications to treat those symtoms have shot out of the roof. Marital distress and divorce rates and have risen alarmingly. Suicide rates also. Communication of our needs and feelings often aren't expressed at all, or in ways that do not result in understanding and resolutions. With no resolution comes isolation.
