I particularly enjoy utilizing cognitive behavior therapy (including trauma focused CBT), solution focused therapy, mindfulness, and Jungian dream analysis and guided meditation.
Do you feel hopeless, worried, overwhelmed, sad, or angry all the time? Do you often have conflict with others? Are you struggling with grief, painful life transitions, intrusive memories of a traumatic event or difficult childhood? Do you feel you are unworthy or unlovable? Do you need someone to help you make sense of your life? If you said yes to any of these, therapy will help! I can offer support, direction, and insight about these challenges; and can show you how cognitive errors and distorted thought patterns contribute to negative emotions and behavior problems.

As someone who values exploring her own depths, I know what it's like to sit in "the other chair," as therapists call it. I know it takes courage and trust to be vulnerable, to show your inner world to another. And I know it's easier when the therapist honors your pace while gently encouraging you to explore the edges of your growth. Helping you find the right balance at those edges is what I do: whether you're seeking something new, you're stuck, or you're overwhelmed. All are opportunities for us to listen more deeply to what you are needing.

No, you shouldn't be "over it" even though people like to tell you that. Time does NOT heal all wounds and healing often does not happen in a one-time event. Past painful events or old injustices have a way of keeping us stuck. Our childhood experiences shape our bodies and minds and set the stage for how we relate to others and ourselves. The good news is that we can heal, change, grow, reorganize, and recover physiologically through healing our nervous systems. Trauma not only affects the mind but also the body which is why somatic therapy acknowledges the vital role of the body in recovering from traumatic experiences.

Sometimes looking in the mirror is hard when the image looking back at you is not what you pictured. Our past hurts and traumas, broken relationships, unhealthy relationship with food, and painful relationship with our bodies leave us broken and weary. I believe that digging into those painful places brings healing, as well as learning how to move into the present.

A therapist’s job is to guide people in realizing their potential and to reconnect with their authentic self. My approach stresses self-acceptance through recognizing, examining and effectively expressing our thoughts, feelings, and needs, as well as exploring any unfinished business from our past. Thoughts may be a source of suffering for many, and I help people examine their internal dialogue and break unhealthy patterns. These patterns are often the result of defense structures built of necessity to survive exposure to traumas and other behaviors modeled for us since childhood. As a Licensed Psychological Examiner - Independent I also administer clinical evaluations including IQ/Achievement, ADHD, and psychological/personality assessments. Since beginning practice in 2001 I was employed as an adjunct professor and clinical instructor of psychology at The University of Central Arkansas for 12 years and have been in private practice in Little Rock since 2002. I also have completed 21 hours of master level of teaching and counseling the gifted and talented student.

Jungian Therapists
How does Jungian therapy work?
Jungian therapy, also called analytical psychology, focuses on a patient’s inner experiences and unconscious mind. Exploring a person’s unconscious mind can be achieved through several means, including the analysis of memories and dreams, and through physical exercises, such as art, dance, and word association.
How long does Jungian therapy last?
Jungian therapy is an intensive treatment type. Because its goal is to understand a person as a whole, including the unconscious aspects of them, treatment can range from months to years. Since patients learn the theory behind Jungian therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have completed.
Is Jungian therapy effective?
According to studies, many patients find success with Jungian therapy, and the century-old treatment has a devoted following. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. Improvements in problem areas seem to continue even after the end of Jungian therapy, as people are able to continue working on themselves using the tools they’ve learned during the treatment.
Is Jungian therapy evidence-based?
Jungian therapy is theory-based, derived from the theories of Carl Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist often called one of the fathers of psychology, along with Sigmund Freud. Jung developed his theories from observing the problems of patients, and developed many theories of how the mind works. Subsequent psychological research has determined that Jungian therapy can lead to significant improvement in most patients.
