Therapists in Arkansas
When I consider the relationship between a therapist and a client, I want to offer a supportive and nonjudgmental setting to allow a client to address their personal challenges by exploring their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. While gradually exploring additional layers of their concerns to allow them to find a path to a more authentic and satisfying life. I want to provide empathy for clients while empowering them in ways to grow and achieve their goals. I want those seeking comfort and support with their concerns, such as difficulties within their relationships, life stresses, past hurts, depression, anxiety & grief.

Life is a journey. Sometimes we must take the road less traveled to get to our destination. The road less traveled for many has been acknowledging they need help and taking the steps to seek help. I meet each client wherever they are on that road to life's journey. I believe each of us has the innate ability to reach our full potential. I view counseling as a collaborative relationship where we work as a team to explore the current problematic issues and develop goals for an improved life toward realizing those goals. / may focus on patterns of thoughts, behaviors, moods, and relationships that are important to you - the client.

I help teenagers and adults manage their anxiety and stress better. There is a level of anxiety that is normal, that everyone feels, and that can even be productive. Then there is the kind of anxiety that is crippling—that is not often understood by those around us and that gets in the way of our happiness. It can keep you up at night, make you constantly distracted, affect your work or school performance, and even make you physically sick. Sometimes it can feel like anxiety comes out of nowhere, leaving you feeling confused, helpless, and desperate to find some relief (even if it's not in a healthy way).

Painful experiences can leave us feeling completely alone. Sometimes we just need someone to meet us where we are to find a way to move forward. Healthy relationships can be difficult to navigate, especially when there is a lifetime of hurt getting in the way. I want to help you create healthy, fulfilling, nourishing connections with those you care about. Along with anxiety and depression, I am passionate about working with those who have dealt with trauma.

I am an Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor and my best work is in treating PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders with co-occurring addiction disorders related to trauma. I am trained in EMDR and have basic and advanced training in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy. In addition to meeting clients in clinic, I also provide telehealth services. I understand that mental health disorders often present with isolation and strive to meet patients in settings that are familiar and comfortable to them.

Hello. I entered the community mental health setting in 1998 as a paraprofessional and worked my way through graduate school to professional licensure. Community mental health providers are much like any "general practitioner" and treat almost any situation that presents, from adjustment issues to the seriously and chronically mentally ill, including crisis/emergency response. Through word of mouth, I have a strong reputation for success with those haunted by various trauma, both simple and complex, and who suffer with anxiety and various mood disorders, but I am certainly not limited to those issues. Prefer mid-teen through adults.

Have you ever felt like a stranger in your own home or all alone in a room with close family members and friends? It’s normal to feel that way at times, but how you respond is pivotal.
