Hot Springs, Arkansas 71901
Sometimes it feels like no matter how hard you try to make life better, nothing seems to change. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from caring so much on your own. Maybe you’ve tried thinking your way out of things, praying for answers, or forcing situations to work that just won’t. You want peace, balance, and clarity– emotionally physically, spiritually, and in your relationships. Most of all, you just want to feel like yourself again.

I am EMDR level 1 & 2 trained for trauma and PTSD therapy. Beyond responder therapy, I have experience with sexual abuse, codependency work, healing the inner child, and promoting your own self-worth.

Change is the only constant in life. Our lives are constantly changing; we ourselves are evolving. With those changes come challenges, often mental and emotional. We learn and we grow through all of these changes. However, we often feel overwhelmed, hopeless, or just generally unable to cope with things. It's easy to let the changes in life weigh us down and take control, but I want to help you grow from your struggles and all of life's changes. As John Maxwell said, “Change is inevitable. Growth is optional," so let's grow together.

I am trained as a clinical mental health therapist primarily in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and through the course of learning individuals Gestalt therapy has proven to be a more humanistic way of connecting with client and their environment with emphasis on how each person orients themselves as well as handles or controls their surroundings.
Clients I see struggle with mood regulation, so working on their day-to-day struggles with career, education, life goals, relationships, boredom, feelings of acceptance for themselves may lead into wanting to experience wellness in the form of positive self-esteem, belonging, value and purpose. Some clients feel disconnected from others as well as disconnected from their sense of purpose. I want to meet the client where they are in their growth as an individual. I want the client to feel I am their advocate regardless of their age, ethnicity, spiritual/ cultural background, race or sexual preference or gender identity.

My ideal client is someone motivated for change and wants to better understand themselves and their world around them. I worked many years in school-based therapy learning and helping kids and families adapt and adjust to one another. I have always focused on trauma and trauma related issues because it was so needed. Since then I have seen adult and children alike to help foster positive change because trauma is a lifelong challenge. My goal for my clients is to walk away with a better understanding of who you are, what you need, and how to better your life.

Gestalt Therapists
What is gestalt therapy?
Gestalt therapy is based on the idea that to address unresolved negative feelings, emotions must be not only discussed but also actively expressed in the present moment. The term is from a German word meaning “whole,” and gestalt therapists believe that people should be considered whole entities made up of mind, body, and emotions. Gestalt sessions are rooted in the notion that a client’s total self must be discovered, explored, and confronted, so that they can take greater responsibility for themselves and their behavior, learn to satisfy their own needs while still respecting the needs of others, and reconnect with feelings they might otherwise deny.
How does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy sessions do not just involve talking with a therapist. Clients may take part in role-playing, re-enactment, or artistic exercises like drawing and painting, with the goal of becoming more aware of negative thought patterns that limit happiness. One common gestalt exercise is “the empty chair,” in which a client sits across from an empty chair representing a partner, relative, boss, or a part of themselves—and, with the therapist’s encouragement, improvises a dialog with it. The intention is to bring the emotions raised by past conflicts into the present and work through them in the moment.
How long does gestalt therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for gestalt therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. New patients should understand that it may take some time to become comfortable with gestalt exercises but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions.
Does gestalt therapy work?
Gestalt therapy has generally been found to be as effective as other forms of talk therapy in helping people living with anxiety, depression, phobias, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders, as well as helping individuals reduce conflict in relationships. Gestalt techniques, on their own or in combination with other therapies, can also be effective in managing physical ailments including ulcerative colitis, migraines, and back spasms. It should be noted that some people may have trouble adapting to gestalt therapy’s lack of formal structure or to a therapist’s close observations of their body language and emotions; others may struggle to commit to techniques that feel unnatural, like the empty chair exercise.
