Grief Therapists in Little Rock, AR

My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where a person can find ways to move forward in their life. I work to help people address challenges that prevent them from living the life they want. I’m an LCSW with 15 years of experience in working with adults and youth. I work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, grief , trauma, PTSD, and family issues. I believe you have the power to make changes to improve your life.

I am dedicated to providing a safe and confidential environment for patients to connect with self and address any issues that inhibit growth. I believe that healthy relationships with self and others will allow an individual to build a realistic picture of life and assist in moving through challenges. Years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly population in acute, long-term, residential, and outpatient settings has enabled me to obtain a vast understanding of resources available and knowledge of referral sources for additional treatment if needed.

Children’s mental health is an essential part of their overall health.

Everyone has a narrative that has led them to where they are today and it deserves to be honored, valued, and heard. Sometimes our story includes hardships, addiction, anxiety, and other aspects that can be perceived by others as negatives. Many of us will carry our “brokenness” around in silence for long periods of time before it weighs us down to the point where we feel confused, heavy, tired, and overwhelmed.

Sara’s passion and focus in counseling is grief and loss .

Often, we cling to the notion that we are "human becomings" and that our best moments will arrive down the road...but it just isn't so. Those future moments will be no more special than this one right now (and less so if they contain the inevitable disappointment flowing from a life of conditioned expectations). The way you live this moment is the way you live your life. If you are waiting for it to get better then "waiting" is who you are. Loss , shock, grief and despair are fully part of the human experience. In fact, they are proof of life and evidence of love. Our challenge is to keep going and to find moments of joy again.

Reaching out to others can be difficult. Being vulnerable and talking to others about struggles takes courage. This is the first step towards the healing that you deserve. Using a person centered approach, I work collaboratively with clients to help them find healing and freedom. I practice a variety of approaches and techniques depending on what is the most useful. I enjoy working with those who have experienced trauma, and/or are experiencing anxiety, depression and/or other strong emotions.

Do you know your heart matters? It requires courage to explore your heart's history with another. And, it's natural to feel uncertain when searching for help with your concerns. Whether you are seeking a solution, or acceptance of something without a solution, psychotherapy offers a unique space for attention, acceptance, exploration, and growth. I am a licensed counselor, psychotherapist, and teacher who enjoys listening to the hearts of others. I love providing a safe, accepting, confidential space for clients to explore their life stories, share their pain, and learn to honor and interpret their heart's deepest desires.

I focus on working with teens, adults, and older adults in dealing with a broad range of issues including depression, anxiety, grief , spiritual issues, anger management, premarital and marital relationships, and family and friendship relational problems. I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you as you seek to be transformed and changed into who you are seeking to become. In the world we live in today things can get hectic and busy pretty quickly. Do you take time for yourself? To process? To address the challenges? Sometimes you may just need an outside perspective when life seems complex and complicated.

Are you experiencing a high level of anxiety or stress? Or, are you going through a difficult period in life, such as relationship conflict or loss , a health status change, or multiple stressors piling up all at once? Trained in two helping professions, I can provide you with compassionate, knowledgeable care and actionable plans that will help you to resolve anxiety and stress and get back to enjoying life again. Whether you need to make a change, or to prevail over a change life has forced upon you, my experience and knowledge will help you to navigate difficult times and to reclaim your life.

We all have problems and everyone needs help at times. With more than 12 years experience, I provide professional/confidential mental health services to diverse persons. I do not discriminate based on ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation or personal identification and believe that through connection and compassion we can resolve any problem together. Our past experiences do not define us and our future is not yet written. Help is available and you are not alone. Let's work towards building your life the way it was always meant to be: authentic, fulfilling and empowered. Let's find/develop the best version of yourself!

Crying is okay. Emotions are okay. It is okay to feel. If you do not like where you are mentally, spiritually, or emotionally then you do not have to stay in that place of misery or despair. When a bone is broken or a ligament is torn, we seek medical support for physical healing. When feeling overwhelmed in a heartless world, lonely in a room full of people, struggling to sleep due to dreams of unforgettable events, or avoiding smells, sounds, or places because it forces you to relive dreaded moments. In those moments who do you find for support? With support, you will find inner peace, strength, and a better version of yourself.

Are you looking for a place to help you explore healing? Have you gotten to a place that you feel like you may need guidance to help you keep going? Are you burdened with depression, anxiety, grief , low-self esteem, or even life transitions? Most of all, have you come to understand that you are HUMAN and you just need a person that you can lean on for help?
