Marriage Counseling Therapists in Batesville, AR

I’ve been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for the past 17 years and have worked in many different types of community services such as Geropsych, Hospice, Inpatient Psych and now working with Domestic Violence survivors and their alleged offenders - adults and children through the military. I’m also trained as a Forensic Child Interviewer. I’m well versed in personality disorders and mood disorders, along with aging and marital issues. I am licensed in Arkansas (private pay and some insurances), North Dakota and Nevada.

I work with individuals and couples dealing with financial stress, anxiety/depression, work-life balance, feeling lost, and relationship/marital issues.

Are you tired of going through the motions in life or your relationship? Feeling STUCK or simply worried? My approach has helped hundreds couples and individuals overcome strenuous challenges and master the skills to maintain healthy relationships and lifestyles. My approach is simple, I use evidence-based tools and models to help couples and individuals target personal growth. I'm currently completing supervision for Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused couples therapy which is greatly utilized during sessions.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Clinical Christian Counselor. I have a divine purpose and gift for women and girls who are discouraged, stagnant, hurting, or stuck in bad relationship cycles, as well as those who just need a little boost to get ahead in life. I specialize in stress/anxiety/depression, sexual abuse recovery, marriage and family, personal and spiritual growth, and finding life's purpose. I have a burning passion to help transform marriages and to help others heal from their past as well as recognize and achieve their full potential in all areas of life.

My motto has always been "I'm here for it." No matter what the focus of therapy needs to be for you, whether it's processing your week or getting in the trenches of traumatic experiences, or marriage/family crises- I'm here for it, and I'm dedicated to the process that can help unlock an upgraded version of life for you.

Does your life feel stuck? Are you locked into patterns of thinking, feeling, or behaving that aren't helpful? If so, you're not alone. Over the course of our lives, we tend to gather trauma, baggage, and wounding that most of us don't really know what to do with. But, because you're a survivor and a fighter, you press on, live your life, and get on with things. At some point though, the weight becomes too much to bear. The anxiety won't let up, the depression won't lift, the shame won't shut up. Suddenly we find ourselves in loops of negativity and dysfunction that we can't seem to break no matter how hard we try.

My primary experience is in working with individuals and couples to heal relationship wounds, recover from trauma, and find new ways to interact with life’s most stubborn issues. My ideal clients probably have really tough problems, and they may be hurting very deeply, but they are also ready to try on new thoughts and behaviors to find healing and their "new normal." I work with those suffering from PTSD symptoms, severe anxiety and/or depression, as well as individuals and couples in affair recovery, blended family situations, and those going through major life changes.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in couples therapy. I have worked as a therapist in a 90-Day Residential Treatment Center, Community Mental Health, and in Private Practice. I have led therapy intensives, group therapy, taught courses at the university level, and managed a therapeutic high and low ropes course.
