Therapists in Fayetteville, AR
I believe everyone has the innate ability to change. My role as your therapist is to facilitate change in areas you want to see improvement. I work from a person centered approach which is a nondirective, empathic approach that empowers and motivates the client in the therapeutic process. Rather than viewing people as inherently flawed, with problematic behaviors and thoughts that require treatment, person-centered therapy identifies that each person has the capacity and desire for personal growth and change. I take clients ages 16 and older effected by anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relational issues and work stress.

Sessions are client-centered and assist clients in reaching their goals. I like to serve as a guide and a helper to assist in unpacking complicated things. I believe that people have the answers inside them and sometimes need some assistance in seeing things more clearly to live their best lives.

I am passionate about helping others with the challenges that life brings. Sometimes these challenges can be overwhelming or seem never ending. Do you often feel like your going at it alone, living day to day, just surviving enough to get by? You don’t have to do it alone, come learn to enjoy your life again and overcome life’s challenges. People often get stuck in this mindset and struggle to get out. Let me help give you the tools you need and work together to get you out of the darkness and enjoying your life again. What if you woke up in the morning feeling like you could conquer your world instead of dreading it?

We all have emotions. They can help us, but sometimes they don't. Sometimes we get stuck and stop doing the things we love. Sometimes we run away, losing the chance to see how strong we can be. Sometimes we turn on our emotions, pushing them away because they hurt. If you want a different relationship with your emotions, if you want to move through being stuck, afraid, and avoidant, I would love to work with you.

At times we need an outside perspective, and maybe just someone to listen to us, when life seems hard or complicated. My counseling style is warm, friendly, and, above all, genuine. I use a holistic/integrative therapy approach; in order to tailor treatment to each client's needs, I tend to pull from various tenets and modalities of evidence-based therapies. I focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and understand the mind-body connection; I am also trained in EMDR for trauma treatment.

I enjoy working with women who are struggling with their identity and are in the midst of change. Does it feel as though you have no idea who you are anymore? Are you going through a divorce or empty nesting? Perhaps menopause is making you feel lost. Bring it on!
I love to explore the possibilities of life with clients. My main goal is to help you create a life worth living, however you define that. My approach to therapy is one of warmth, genuineness and humor. I can give you coping skills all day long. What is probably more important, however, is that I can give you a safe place to just be you, with all your quirks.

Each of us has a story. Our past can influence or shape our lives, but it doesn't define or limit who we are. It doesn't have the power to tell us who we can become. My initial goal is to provide a non-judgmental and safe place for my clients to feel seen, heard and understood. I would like to believe that therapy provides the opportunity to discover and make use of the healing power of our stories to make us stronger. My goal is to help others achieve their potential. I work with ages 18-65. I especially enjoy working with our college population or professionals dealing with work related stress or burnout.

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.

Hey there, I'm Nikki!
