In Person Therapists in Arkansas
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.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker, skilled in the support of diverse people groups. I am passionate about people, and count it a privilege to support individuals, couples and families along their personal journeys toward emotional and relational wholeness. I understand how difficult life can be; as a survivor of domestic violence I have personally navigated the deep waters of low-self esteem, self-doubt and self-sabotage to emerge on the other side of the darkness victorious! It is my life-long calling to destroy the walls of limitation holding people hostage-if you are ready to take the journey-my bags are packed!

My ideal clients are individuals aged 20-70 who have experienced betrayal trauma from a loved one. They need help with regulating their limbic system, healing from trauma, and redefining their relationship goals. Coaching focuses on setting boundaries, managing anxiety, and rebuilding a sense of normalcy. Additionally, I work with school-age children struggling with anxiety, often showing physical symptoms like stomachaches. They need support in emotional regulation and developing tools to face challenging situations independently, feeling understood and nurtured throughout.

Just by reading this, you are showing your strength and courage to take the first step to speak with a therapist. For many people, it is a scary step to make and keep a counseling appointment. People often worry and wonder things like, what will counseling be like, what will the therapist ask me, and will therapy really help me? When I meet you, I will commend you for your courage to come to counseling and we will discuss what brings you to counseling. Then we will make what I call a counseling GPS. This is a plan of how to get from where you are to where you want to be (through counseling).

Accepting new clients for immediate openings! Looking for a therapist can be challenging! I want to help you achieve the solutions and life changes you are looking for without judgement while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new way. I don't believe therapy has to be be painful. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment and maybe a deep breath to call and see how I can help. A little about me, I have experience working in community mental health, school based programs, psychiatric hospitals, and intensive outpatient programs for over 25 years.

Have you ever wished life was different? Often, people go through life pretending things are “ok.” In reality, everyone experiences problems. Often, we are afraid to share them with others. We're afraid of their response. You don't have to do it alone anymore. No matter the problem you are facing... depression, anxiety, trauma, loneliness... I believe together we can take steps to create a better life for you. I believe big changes are made by taking small, consistent steps. I believe a strong, collaborative, therapeutic relationship helps those I work with to explore what is holding them back, while we work toward change.

What is your greatest desire? Take a moment to really think about it. What stands in your way? You may be struggling to answer these questions. You may feel lost, confused, helpless, and overwhelmed. Maybe you feel alone or too embarrassed to talk to someone, but you don't have to brave the journey alone. Life is full of twists and turns, obstacles, and roadblocks that create a need to adjust the route to your destination. You may need help navigating the journey, and therapy is not “one size fits all.”
