Couples Counseling Therapists in Little Rock, AR

I enjoy assisting individuals, couples , and families in recognizing their inherent potential, which can sometimes be overlooked when derailed by situations causing you emotional pain and suffering. I practice in a tranquil and calm environment and believe in the therapeutic power of caring, humor, open-mindedness, and empathy to promote trust, confidence, and healing. I trust that, by believing in our own self-worth, we become stronger, more resilient, and more willing to work towards positive life change. It is my mission to teach you the skills you will need in order to facilitate an effective and healthy process of personal and relational growth.

A therapist’s job is to guide people in realizing their potential and to reconnect with their authentic self. My approach stresses self-acceptance through recognizing, examining and effectively expressing our thoughts, feelings, and needs, as well as exploring any unfinished business from our past. Thoughts may be a source of suffering for many, and I help people examine their internal dialogue and break unhealthy patterns. These patterns are often the result of defense structures built of necessity to survive exposure to traumas and other behaviors modeled for us since childhood. As a Licensed Psychological Examiner - Independent I also administer clinical evaluations including IQ/Achievement, ADHD, and psychological/personality assessments. Since beginning practice in 2001 I was employed as an adjunct professor and clinical instructor of psychology at The University of Central Arkansas for 12 years and have been in private practice in Little Rock since 2002. I also have completed 21 hours of master level of teaching and counseling the gifted and talented student.
