In Person Therapists in Little Rock, AR

Having been around the world, I know two things to be true: human suffering knows no culture or class, and the need for connection is universal. We are not meant to do life alone, and times of struggle can be such painful illustrations of that. By the time you seek out therapy, you have probably been at this for some time, white-knuckling the steering wheel of life, and adapting in the only ways you know. When you doubt your strength, know the courage it took to get here is not lost on me.

I believe that the answers are inside you, but they get confused and lost among life's daily battles. They get buried under the opinions of bystanders who don't have to walk in your shoes and experts whose life looks nothing like yours. My goal as a therapist is to help you hear YOU. To clear space where that small voice that knows you better than anyone else, can finally be heard. My job is to listen, to see if you're hearing what I'm hearing and to reflect back where your heart and your head aren't matching up.

You are more than a list of symptoms! Do you need a healthcare professional who sees you as an entire person? Every part of your life has and will impact how you think and how you feel.

Consequently, I take a holistic approach to exploring and helping you understand how to shift your life for the better.

As a psychologist, I help people change the thoughts, emotions, or behaviors that interfere with their physical and psychological health. As individuals begin to examine their feelings and attitudes and develop more effective patterns of behavior, they begin to feel happier and more content with their lives.

Life is much easier when we learn that we can improve or even control our reaction to most difficulties facing us. Learn to change "reaction" to "response," indicating a thoughtful, healthful method of reply.

We are often dealt circumstances that are beyond our understanding and personal control. Many of these experiences distort our perception of who we truly are.

My goal is to join you in your discovery that change is possible.

“Owning our story & loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we will ever do.” This quote by Brene Brown sums up my deepest belief about the therapy process. I love to provide a safe & authentic environment in which I can walk alongside you as you learn to do both– own your story & through it, love yourself. My approach is warm, direct, & involves some humor (because laughing usually helps!)

Life is hardest when we’re alone in our struggles and pain. We’re wired to bond with others and find safe connections with the ones we love. But sometimes it's hard to feel safe. And when we don't feel safe all sorts of negative emotions find their way to the surface. Anxiety, depression, sometimes even behavioral ruts like anger and shame. We just get stuck. And many times it seems like the harder we try to get out of these ruts, the more stuck we seem to get. But we all want the same things in our relationships. To be seen. To be heard. Are you there for me? Can I count on you? These are healthy goals!

Have you experienced trauma, abuse or distressing events? Are your relationships unsatisfying? Is your relationship in trouble? Do you spend your energy and time trying to hide feelings of anxiousness, depression, anger, fear and hopelessness? If you have been feeling stuck and desire additional support, you have come to the right place. I work with individuals and couples to assist them in finding the life they aspire. I believe that change happens when people are given the guidance they need to draw on their own strengths and realize their potential to live gratifying lives.
