Chronic Illness Therapists in White County, AR

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I collaborate with clients so they can engage in self-exploration and practice skills grounded in their personal values. As a queer nonbinary, fat therapist, I believe in addressing intersecting identities and building a compassionate relationship that centers the client's distinct needs. I specialize in relationship and sex therapy and especially enjoy working with individuals and couples who are navigating changes in identity and sexual health. I have experience working with the impact of medical trauma and chronic illness on sexuality and exploration sexual and gender identity.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by your thoughts or emotions? Are there specific stressors in your life that you're struggling to cope with? I want to assure you that you don't have to navigate this journey alone and I would be honored to travel alongside you. I strive to create a safe space where individuals feel empowered to speak openly, explore their thoughts and feelings, and engage in meaningful dialogue and growth. My belief is that everyone deserves to feel understood and supported. I focus on using an open-minded perspective with any interaction so that I can provide a supportive space for others of varying backgrounds.

As a dedicated therapist with a passion for empowering individuals and couples, I am skilled in addressing a wide range of issues to facilitate growth and healing. With warmth and empathy, I am committed to guiding my clients (that's you!) through unique challenges toward a path of resilience and fulfillment. I utilize evidence-based models supported by clinical research, and I tailor my approach to meet your needs. My practice is rooted in the belief that there is power in telling our stories and that each person possesses the capacity for growth. I am additionally certified as an integrative sex and couples therapist.

I am proud to be a Licensed Certified Social Worker who enjoys partnering with individuals and families to help overcome difficult seasons of life. I have experience working with children as young as 5 years old, families, and adults. I am known for my genuine, non-judgmental approach, meeting my clients where they are in life with compassion and empathy. My ultimate goal is to help guide my clients to become the best version of themselves, equipping them with skills to regulate difficult emotions and learn effective communication so their desires and dreams become a reality.

We all struggle to find balance in the roles we are trying to maintain in our lives. Our past, relationship struggles, motivation, anxiety and depression can all complicate our attempts to navigate how to be the best version of ourselves. Many of us "know" what to do, but have not successfully identified ways to manifest that into action. While we cannot change the things we have experienced, or the behavior of those around us, we can identify successful ways to approach our difficulties. A part of moving forward can be gaining more awareness of the mind/body connection and exploring insight and behaviors to make lasting change.

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.

The human experience can be challenging at times, but can also be beautiful and meaningful. Learning that both are normal parts of the journey can be empowering and allow one to reach our dreams and goals by overcoming the blocks and pain that keep us from reaching those dreams. We can learn to grow through pain, enjoy moments of pure joy and build community.

Life can take us down many different roads. Sometimes those roads can have bumps, holes, or be so deteriorated that it's difficult to travel. Counseling is an effective way to navigate life's difficulties. I treat a wide range of issues such as depression and other mood problems, anxiety and stress, relationship issues, life changes, adjustment to disability, behavioral issues and many more.

My goal for everyone I treat is to help them identify their problems and work to resolve those issues so that they can move forward in life.

Life is far too short to be unhappy. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families move forward into the life they want to live.
