Therapists in Faulkner County, AR

If you feel like you’re struggling to find a sense of harmony in your life, feel overwhelmed adjusting to life changes or want to explore current stressors, therapy can be the first step in the right direction. I have experience working with individuals who are looking to improve and navigate areas of their life including general stress, life transitions and adjustments, self-esteem struggles and work towards a healthier mindset towards food, exercise and body image. I believe that therapy should address the person as a whole which includes aspects of both mental and physical well-being.

I have extensive experience helping individuals navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional struggles. They might be a college student overwhelmed by academics and identity issues, a young professional dealing with career stress or imposter syndrome, or an LGBTQ+ individual seeking self-acceptance. Immigrants and women may also encounter unique cultural or societal challenges. Common needs include healing from trauma, managing anxiety or depression, and building resilience. Ultimately, they seek a supportive space to understand themselves, develop coping strategies, and move forward with confidence.
