Therapists in Maumelle, AR

I find meaning working with others as they strive to move through life's inherent struggles- sometimes simply trying to stay afloat, sometimes realizing moments of insight and positive change. I have found that individual experiences and identities tend to transcend diagnostic categories and am most interested in working from a transdiagnostic approach that applies well-validated principles to create change in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I enjoy working with individuals experiencing difficulties with mood and/or anxiety, traumatic experiences, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

In today's world of stress and global issues, I want you to know that I am walking this journey with you. I have over 20 years experience in mental health across both community and inpatient settings. I own a private practice in Maumelle, Arkansas (Comprehensive Health Psychology & Testing) and provide tele-mental health across most state lines with licensure in Florida, Missouri, and PSYPACT credential. My treatment focus is strength-based on health and behavior change. I take an inquisitive and insight oriented approach, which I believe can empower you to obtain your best physical, mental, and emotional health.

Are you an adult, teen, or child who is feeling anxious/depressed or has experienced trauma? Are you or your family going through changes, just tired, or struggling to make it? Therapy serves as a safe place, provides an opportunity to learn new skills, and allows us to own our story. I believe that being seen, heard and the relationship are essential elements in therapy so I value spending time listening and reflecting on experiences. With 15 years experience, I specialize in trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, and mood disorders and would to love to walk with you in your healing journey and guide you when needed.

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.

I believe we all need different levels of support at different times in our lives. I provide individual and family counseling. I'm open minded and provide a judgement free environment! Therapy isn't meant for forever, it's meant to support you during the rough patches, to develop coping skills, and it's to process your experiences to best utilize those coping skills.

Life is much easier when we learn that we can improve or even control our reaction to most difficulties facing us. Learn to change "reaction" to "response," indicating a thoughtful, healthful method of reply. The ideal client will begin therapy with an open mind, a need for change, and a willingness to participate in his/her own growth process. Get curious!
