Spicy? Artsy? Neurodivergent? Hypermobile? Me too. Those on the fringe are my favorite kinds of people. Your emotions are intense. You see the best and worst in life. It can get hard though; the anxiety, rage, and sadness hurt. You get impulsive - say and do things you regret. You can be a hot mess. The emotional roller coaster is exhausting - you've been riding it all your life and want off. Familiar? The good news is it's gonna be ok. You're not "crazy". You don't have to live in misery. If you think you might have Borderline Personality Disorder, or are just a highly sensitive person, Dialectical Behavior Therapy can help.

Understanding yourself, your personality structure, and the world around you is a great asset. It allows you to clearly articulate your values and to set a life-course oriented toward what brings you meaning and fulfillment. Often, clinical symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and personality difficulties can obscure a clear vision of our ideal path. Clinical psychology uses the scientific understanding of behavior and mental health difficulties as the basis for strategic guidance in helping you overcome clinical and life issues.

My ideal client has been through some really hard stuff, and knows what it is like to struggle through the pain. They are seeking therapy because they need support to overcome obstacles in their painful memories and/or in their current relationships - romantic, familial or vocational. They want their counselor to really see and value their individuality and autonomy, as well as the ways they are connected to the world around them. In addition to my work as a therapist, I served in the Arkansas Army National Guard for 10 years. I am really passionate about helping active duty military personnel and Veterans.

Therapy offers a chance to learn new ways to cope with emotionally charged life challenges & process the things in life that keep us stuck.

My approach is strength based, interactive, & collaborative, & I believe that authenticity, respect, & a sense of humor all contribute to a strong therapeutic relationship.

We can all become bogged down by intense emotions that create a hurdle to our ability to function in life, most often at the detriment of success or being able to achieve what we feel are simple tasks in life. I work with clients to help them uncover and make sense of emotional barriers that have plagued them for far too long, often dismissed by others in their lives. Being accepted unconditionally, regardless of background, orientation, or presentation, in a therapeutic setting, you can find more personal potential and free yourself of the "rules" prescribed by the outside world and finally find yourself, the person that matters.

While talk therapy offers critical and necessary support during overwhelming periods of life, some of us feel as if life contains an "overwhelming period" on a nearly daily basis. Neurodivergent Therapies' owner (Alyson "Rae" Pittman, LPC) began wondering how the efficacy of therapy could be improved and the needed timeline shortened. One treatment addition for both of these goals is Neurofeedback (NFB) Training, a non-invasive and non-medication option for teaching your brain the rhythms, patterns, and "dance steps" your brain has yet to effectively learn.

It’s like your life has been split apart. There was the you from before this devastating loss –happy, hopeful, and enthusiastic for the future. And then there’s you now – confused, angry, and unspeakably sad. You had a plan for your life that gave you comfort and security, but all at once, it disappeared. It’s difficult to accept what’s happened, let alone begin to actually process it. You’re unsure where to go from here, and even worse, you don’t really care. It’s like an integral part of what made you yourself has been taken away, and you don’t know who you are now. You can’t see any way forward, and it feels hopeless.

I enjoy working with individuals who are motivated for positive change and willing to be honest with themselves and their needs. I believe in developing healthy and realistic expectations of self and environment to reduce and better manage stress, depression, anxiety or other mental health concerns.
