My name is Janie and I am a Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor with certification in Play Therapy. I graduated from Arkansas State University with my Ed.S. degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Play Therapy Certification. I believe that therapy is for everyone! I have a passion for helping others using an Adlerian theoretical approach with emphasis on family dynamics, childhood experiences and overall self acceptance. I recognize that therapy is vulnerable so I always aim to provide an emotionally safe space for my clients.

My experience with helping individuals and families overcome difficult challenges is my passion. I believe that it easier to find and build upon one's strengths than it is to focus primarily on fixing problems. Much of my time in therapy is spent on discovering creative solutions rather than talking too long just about what is wrong. I often involve the whole family and believe that every person is unique and requires an individualized approach. One size does not fit all. Please call me or email today discuss your needs and hopes and/or to set an appointment time.
