Therapists in Arkansas

Life changes can be difficult whether it be relational, new experiences or added additions. “I am committed to those I see and willing to guide you along the way.” I have over 20 years of experience in the Mental Health Field. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have worked with a number of individuals who have dealt with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, and trauma. I offer a welcoming space for you to come and process what you feel the needed focus is. I also enjoy women’s issues, working with Responders, and have a love of helping you create the life and response that is healthy and unique to you.

Do you feel alienated, alone, & misunderstood? Caught in a cycle of escape, control, and avoidance? You judge yourself at every turn, can’t meet your own expectations and don't seem to trust yourself? You feel like you're not good enough and scared you can't feel anything but alone. You sacrifice parts of yourself to feel worthy of love. Overwhelmed by shame and guilt about who you are and what you’ve experienced. You try to find peace by avoiding life. Control has become the problem, not the solution. I'm here to help you discover a new way to feel, heal & deal. You no longer need to feel alone in the face of overwhelming emotions.

I encourage individuals and families to empower themselves and identify their needs for growth by providing a safe, comfortable space that is nonjudgmental and individual focused. I provide information using practical tools to make peace with your past, transform stress and trauma, decrease anxiety and depression, live with purpose, and rewire your brain for happiness.

I believe you already possess within you, everything you need to work through whatever issue you bring to my office. You simply need some help pulling it out. Maybe you know exactly what the issue is or maybe you are having a hard time pinpointing what is going on, but you know something "feels off". Two of the biggest questions we tackle in your first session are, "What final made you decide to come to therapy?" and "What do you hope to gain by coming to therapy?" These two questions help lay the foundation we will build on.

I absolutely love watching people flourish and becoming 'the change they wish to see in the world'. As your therapist, I will become your guide in making this change. I will give you the tools and skills you desire to help manage your journey on becoming a more healthier, happier you. My approach is creative and interactive, based on your unique problems and desired goals of treatment.

Life can feel messy; and it is at times a place of stagnation, chaos, or just confusion. I challenge individuals to identify themselves, their passions, and to grow beyond the mask that life pushes us to wear as a means of protection or out of fear. It is in true authenticity that we find freedom and joy to move from isolation or bondage to freedom and fullness. It is in freedom where we no longer have to choose living in fear, rejection, pain, and/or competition but can chose to live with depth, substance, love, and understanding.

Life can present many challenges, and at times, despite our best efforts, we may require assistance. As your guide, with over 16 years of experience as a therapist, I am here to offer my support. By empathizing with your struggles, pain, and heartache, I will tailor my approach to meet your unique needs. My aim is to help you feel content and secure in a world that can be difficult, and rediscover the joys of life. Through my training in Trauma, Sand Tray Therapy, and Brainspotting, I can aid in bringing peace to your mind and body. You don't have to face your challenges alone- there is hope.

Are you living your "best life possible"? Do you have difficulty motivating yourself? Avoid certain situations? Frequently angry? Feel the need to control everything? Often feel misunderstood? Have difficulty trusting people? Abusing alcohol or drugs, in unhealthy relationships, or have lost a lot of jobs? Feel overwhelmed? Dealing with the loss of someone you love? Was/is there abuse or trauma in your life? Sometimes all of this is connected in your mind like a tangled ball of yarn.

First off, I think it's funny that I'm even a "psychotherapist". I reluctantly started going to counseling myself in college. Surprisingly, it changed my life for the better. I never would have guessed it! It was so beneficial, I ended up getting a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy...not necessarily as a career choice, but simply to continue my personal learning and growth. I've worked in several other career fields, but no other job has even come close to matching the satisfaction I get from helping people find freedom after experiencing some of their darkest times. Now it has become my passion!

I deeply enjoy the artwork of the therapy process. My goal is to help people find freedom and peace from traumas, addictions, unhealthy relationships, and destructive behaviors. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, children, and groups. My approach includes honesty and gentleness to build safety to face whatever obstacles are getting in the way.

Hey there! So often the emotions that come with life's challenges are too much to navigate on our own. I'm here to be a companion and guide. I have seen a spectrum of clients from different backgrounds and stages of life. Some common issues I work with are anxiety, depression, life transition, trauma recovery (specifically abuse) relationship issues, and body image challenges. I have worked with individuals ranging in age, parents and teens, and couples. I have openings for weekly clients and intensives. Intensives are custom made to fit your needs. We can set up a half-day, full-day, or multiple days, depending on your goals.

Empowerment, encouragement, enlightenment. We all strive for different things in life, and at times we may need help clarifying where we want to go next. I can help with that. I specialize in treating those suffering from addictions and their families. With over twenty years of experience working in this field, I know how lonely and frightening asking for help can be. I'll provide you with an empathic ear while also helping navigate and challenge ways of thinking and feeling that may not be working anymore.

My clients are some of the most resilient and amazing people I know. I love walking alongside them and feel so honored to get to do this work. I primarily work with people who have experienced trauma or neglect at some point in their lives. I love getting to help clients as they become more of themselves and learn to love themselves. Every person has what they need inside them already. We all just need help and safety on the journey to find our true selves.

Whether you are going through significant life changes or simply handling life events and needing a safe, non-judgmental place to vent and process, this is the place for you. I was born and raised in Southeast Asia and then moved to the United States, which has opened me up to many perspectives, cultures, walk of life, experiences, etc., as this encompasses civilian and the armed forces lifestyle. There is no particular mold that you need to meet but your own. I accept you where you are, and that is where I will meet you for our journey. Let's start!

I have experience with adults, adolescents, and children. I work individuals from diverse backgrounds. I am committed to bringing a client's lifestyle, perspectives, and interests to the forefront of therapeutic work. I ask clients to mindfully incorporate therapeutic work into their day-to-day lives.

As a therapist, my goal is to come alongside each individual, couple or family during times of challenge to help them find hope, direction and healing. Everyone deserves the opportunity to have their story heard. In times of crisis, the ability to have someone who understands what you are going through, can serve as a catalyst for helping overcome difficulties. I love working with couples facing difficult life challenges, and individuals that don't think they can benefit from counseling. Isolation keeps us stuck. Let me help you find hope, direction and healing.

I am excited to provide a space where healing and growth can thrive. Life can bring challenges, some expected and some not. During these times, it may be difficult to identify the right next step in improving our mental and physical health. Counseling provides a safe space to explore what growth means for us and how we can achieve our goals and find the best version of ourselves. I enjoy working with individuals and families across the life span who might be struggling with things such as PTSD, LGBTQ+ related issues, attachment disorders, mood disorders, behavioral concerns, ADHD, self image issues and anxiety.
