My ideal client is a child or teen navigating anxiety, trauma, social, or behavioral challenges. They need a safe, supportive space to express themselves and develop coping skills. The therapy goals would include building emotional resilience, improving self-esteem, and forming healthy relationships. Youth want to feel understood as they are discovering who they are. Additional support can give youth the tools they need to thrive and pave a way towards a brighter future.
I specialize in supporting children and adolescents through implementing play therapy techniques, Trauma-Focused CBT, and person-centered therapy. I help individuals build resilience, process trauma, and develop coping skills. I offer in-person and telehealth therapy in Arkansas to promote social-emotional growth and development.
I understand how hard it can be for children and teens to face life’s challenges. I’m here to walk alongside you and your family with compassion and care. I can help support with early intervention and prevention care. When you're ready, I’m here to help.
