Transpersonal Therapists in Arkansas

Therapy clients need emotional safety above all else. Meaningful therapy happens when the client knows they are respected and received without judgement, listened to with deep compassion, and offered responses that speak directly to their most difficult and painful struggles. I work from the premise that the client is the expert on their experience, and it is my job to help clients find and utilize the strengths they already possess. I use my empathic nature, my curiosity, openness, and playfulness to provide a safe space for this powerful and beautiful work my clients are brave enough to embark on.

I attended Harding University and graduated with my B.A. in Psychology and my M.S. in Counseling. I have 24 years of experience in the mental health field. I primarily treat adults who are suffering from depression, anxiety, trama, PTSD, relationship issues, grief, bipolar disorder, and personality disorder. I believe that every client I treat deserves respect and has the ability to empower themselves to meet their individual life goals. I love what I do and I appreciate every client who walks through my door. I have a specialization in grief therapy and trauma.

After thirty years of practice as a psychotherapist and twenty years of teaching graduate students my primary goals remain the same: I intend to help clients discover their own strengths and resources. I enjoy empowering clients to confidently utilize their abilities to improve the quality of life and experience healing recovery from crises. An ideal client allows me to work jointly with them in a partnership to enjoy a sense of their own worth and resilience.

I provide holistic and integrative mental health. I believe that therapy offers a unique opportunity for intensive emotional and intellectual growth so that one can be better equipped to lead a more productive and fulfilling life. An individual can begin to consider one's life from a different point of view by attaching new meaning to his/her past, explore new avenues for reaching life goals, decrease painful feelings and increase their ability to cope with life's stressors. I believe in the value of the therapeutic relationship and its influence in creating positive change.

Do you feel lost? Growth facilitated in a safe space that allows you to process and explore and discover your abilities and your own daily practice that helps you find the state of mind that resonates with you. I can assist you with boundary improvement, feelings of low self worth. Socratic method is utilized to enhance self reflection, growth. Personal impact of social science is important as well as spirituality. Specializing in struggles intersecting in: Trauma, neurodivergency. This could include those who identify as asexual, demisexual, or other less understood, nontraditional identities and relationships.

Let's face it, life events shape our present, and contribute to a loss of connection to ourselves, family, others, and the world. A recovered sense-of-self is essential for empowerment to face these issues. And, because this disconnect initially occurs in earliest childhood, traditional "talk" therapy alone is an insufficient approach. I am a therapist shaped by a myriad of life roles and events. I intentionally sought a PhD in clinical psychology with a specialization in "somatic psychology" to underscore my own therapeutic experience. Somatic psychology studies how the "body" informs and provides clues to our emotional responses linked to childhood.

I have been a counselor and internationally recognized teacher for over 30 years. I believe lasting positive change is best achieved in a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment that incorporates our whole self - mind, body and Spirit. My intention for each session is that the deepest wisdom, healing and transformation occur in that moment, in alignment with your personal goals and highest good. I work cooperatively with each client to choose the therapeutic methods best suited to your needs. My style is warm, supportive and empathic with a gentle dose of humor and a focus on positive change!

As someone who values exploring her own depths, I know what it's like to sit in "the other chair," as therapists call it. I know it takes courage and trust to be vulnerable, to show your inner world to another. And I know it's easier when the therapist honors your pace while gently encouraging you to explore the edges of your growth. Helping you find the right balance at those edges is what I do: whether you're seeking something new, you're stuck, or you're overwhelmed. All are opportunities for us to listen more deeply to what you are needing.

I work with adults, seniors, children and families. If you (or a loved one) are feeling depressed, anxious, or have sleep disturbances, low self-esteem, relationship issues or are in crisis, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment in which to explore self-defeating patterns or incoherent beliefs to help you to restore harmony to your life. Frequently small changes can have a big impact

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction and relationship distress.

I have been in private practice in Fayetteville, AR since 1989. My focus is on working with adults who are dealing with various life issues ranging from personal to professional relationships. I am very interested in looking at how family of origin issues as well as issues regarding past trauma, gender and racial identity, etc. impact your decisions and day to day life. Anxiety, depression and relationship issues are typical causes for calling my office.

Winter and holidays are upon us, a challenging time for many. Are you successful in all the ways the world values but struggling to find love and peace internally? Do you sacrifice yourself and neglect your own needs? Do you have a quiet knowing that some vital part of you is drying up? My clients are sensitive, feeling, intuitive adults interested in doing their ‘inner work.' Distress wears many faces (eg., anxiety, grief, trauma, anger, depression, relationship problems) and tries to relieve itself in many ways (eg., substance use, work, caretaking others). I guide my clients on the worthy quest of coming back to themselves.

I can help you get to the 'heart' of the challenges and issues you're dealing with and make the lasting changes you’re longing for. Having been in practice over 40 years, I'm a seasoned therapist and have the tools and experience to resolve whatever is 'up' for you. I've found that 'talk therapy' is often not enough to resolve many difficulties, so I use a variety of effective approaches, uniquely adjusted to match each client's needs. In addition to talk therapy, I utilize Brainspotting; EMDR; Body Centered therapy; Meditative approaches and Hypnotherapy.

I am passionate about assisting others through their individual journey by addressing all of the aspects of emotional, intellectual, and physical health. I believe the things we feel and think can impact our health. I work towards helping clients become proactive about their mental well-being, rather than reactive. Through conceptualizing depression and anxiety as symptoms, I strive to get to the root of the issues that are hindering your successes. I work from a strength based and encouraging platform to help you create a life filled with intention and well-being.

The COVID-19 Virus has changed the way many of us go about our daily lives. For social distancing purposes, I am offering sessions via Skype or FaceTime in addition to very limited office sessions. From time to time, we all search for solutions, possibilities, and peace of mind. Whatever your therapy needs are, it is my goal to assist you in reaching your goals. I work with adults over the age of 18, individuals, couples, and families. My multi-faceted approach has helped provide insight, support and new strategies for all types of life challenges.

Congratulations on making it this far on your journey in mental health and wellness. For most of us, even the thought of asking for help is a daunting task, so I commend you on taking the steps to find a therapist to assist you on your journey. As a therapist, I am equipped to assist with mental health maintenance, helping you gain insight into past situations that are affecting your life now, and facilitating better navigation of recent life changes.
