Therapists in Arkansas

Relationship issues, anxiety, and ADHD are my main passion areas. My ideal client is willing to explore where their life experiences or neurobiology may have shaped the way they see the world, evaluate what they want to keep and what to edit, and take action toward designing their path forward with compassion and intention. Licensed in Arkansas (in-person only available in NWA), Florida, Texas, Washington, and Oregon.

I currently have a waitlist for new patients. I am pleased to be part of a practice that specializes in neurodivergence, something near and dear to my heart and own lived experience. I believe you as the patient are the expert on your own life and you are the true pilot of your treatment. Therapy to me is collaborating with you to help you find ways to enjoy life more and feel encouraged to make changes, even when change is often so intimidating.

Those I serve often have lifelong trauma, aware or not, visible or the invisible, insidious type that begins forming very early, & may have received a BPD diagnosis ion early adulthood (and shunned by mental health) or maybe they wish they had a diagnosis to explain what they feel. That’s a sentiment shared by my adults with ADHD, specifically women. It’s hard to name the unrest, the sensory stuff, the feeling of something not being right, & over half of women with ADHD received a diagnosis in adulthood. My clients want to know themselves, understand their experiences, & learn real-life skills to create their life worth living.

In today's world of stress and global issues, I want you to know that I am walking this journey with you.

My treatment focus is strength-based on health and behavior change. I take an inquisitive and insight oriented approach, which I believe can empower you to obtain your best physical, mental, and emotional health.

It takes such courage to begin therapy, congratulations on taking the first step! I believe therapy can benefit us all, and I love seeing the positive changes in my client's lives and families as they process trauma, learn new skills and come to understand things in new, healthier ways. I see clients of all ages, but I most enjoy working with teens and tweens, the quirkier and messier the better. Together we can build an alliance that allows them to feel safe and heard, and develop skills that will have life long benefit.

As a Latina woman in Northwest Arkansas I have often struggled with identity. Constantly navigating between cultures can be detrimental to our self identity. This "otherness" often leads to anxiety and depression that seems inescapable. Learning to own all parts of ones self is crucial to mental wellbeing and to understanding the self. Or maybe you struggle with other issues like anxiety, depression, or ADHD (to name a few) and you don't feel like you have a community who understands how difficult that can be on your mental health.

I love helping clients navigate difficult emotional, behavioral, and relationship challenges to find meaning and peace. I specialize in ADHD (including late diagnosis), Trauma and PTSD, and Codependency. For clients with ADHD, We work to build insight around their unique neurodivergent brain and feel empowered. For clients with Trauma & PTSD, I work with them to process memories and regain a sense of safety so they can move forward with resilience and strength. For clients who struggle with codependency and unhealthy relationships, I guide them toward self-awareness and healthier boundaries so they can break dysfunctional patterns.

I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults who are dealing with ADHD, depression, anxiety, difficulty coping with stress, or recovering from trauma.

Currently, I have a waitlist for testing with spots opening summer of 2024 after I return from a planned leave.

I'm a Pediatrician by training, who has spent the last decade helping children and their families with behavioral health issues (ADHD, anxiety, depression, etc). I take pride in developing a comfortable working relationship with my patients and their parents, which increases the probability of reaching our goals as fast as possible during their crucial developmental years. As a parent myself, I appreciate straight answers and easy to understand explanations. I strive to give you the time you need to share your journey and the respect you deserve as the person on the front lines with your child.

I believe everyone has the capacity for change. Often times we need guidance, or a gentle push, to get there. I offer a safe and welcoming environment for you to process and create realistic goals for where you are today.

Life is full of ups and downs that can be overwhelming at times. While learning to manage and adapt is important to personal growth, so is having someone walk that journey with you. I base my therapeutic approach around building a solid foundation of trust and acceptance with my clients. I value individuality and will encourage first and foremost that you accept “you as you” and not what today’s societal norms tell you what you should or shouldn’t be. I look forward to working with you and/or your family and being a resource to help you continue your journey.

I believe that success is individual and that every person is the expert of their own life. I am grateful for each and every opportunity to witness change! Therapy is a process of learning about your own ability to solve your problems and build your own toolbox. For children, it is about learning many different tools to use in the many situations they will find themselves in as they grow up.
