Therapists in Little Rock, AR

Feeling exhausted, stressed to the max, or not like yourself anymore? Maybe you're going through a big life change or relationship crisis. Maybe things feel like they could spiral out of control at any moment. Racing thoughts and images of failure are so distracting you can’t focus on what you know you need to do next. You’re not sure what you need, and you also know you want to make a change.

The need for connection and belonging are at the core of who we are as humans yet most suffering occurs in isolation. The gift of the therapeutic relationship is that it is built during times of distress or when everyday life feels overwhelming. It is within the vulnerability of the therapeutic relationship that I help people find their strength, embrace their imperfections, find connection and fully align with self.

I believe that processing feelings and thoughts along with education in a non-judgmental and safe environment can move you from surviving to thriving. I'm happy to help you!
