Compassion Focused Therapists in Jackson County, AR

Hurts happen & we find ways to survive, but you are meant to experience so much more than survival. As an attachment-focused & somatic-informed therapist, I work with clients to help them feel safe in their bodies, embrace connection, & develop self-compassion. Change happens by empowering you to identify needs, find security in relationships with good communication, and cultivate ownership of your experience. Your mind, body, and spirit want to be and can be well. Allow me to walk with you through the darkness to get there.

Although therapy may seem intimidating, my approach focuses on your felt safety; between us, and within yourself. I have many therapeutic techniques to help you, but from my experience, the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful tool towards healing.

We go to a medical doctor when we are ill and to the dentist when we have a toothache, as well as regular check-ups when we are not ill or in pain. So why not see a mental health professional when life becomes stressful or when faced with a problem? Why not go in for a regular checkup as well? We go through several stages in life, such as marriage, parenthood, and retirement. We are faced with new obstacles at each stage. As a mental health professional, I can assist you in navigating these new stages and obstacles.

If you’re scrolling to find a therapist—and feel shame and disappointment in yourself—don’t! Mental health should be treated like a doctors visit when sick. My therapeutic approach is providing a safe, supportive, and judgement-free environment in order to create an atmosphere for individual exploration, growth, & change. I focus on treating the whole person. The “diagnosis”only gives me a good picture of what’s going on and focus on YOU. I believe that by learning how to balance the mind, body, and spirit by gaining a better, deep + core understanding of ourselves and our struggles, we can find a life of balance.

You are more than a list of symptoms! Do you need a healthcare professional who sees you as an entire person? Every part of your life has and will impact how you think and how you feel. There are so many ways to approach emotional struggles. Each person has a unique story and an individual experience. Consequently, I take a holistic approach to exploring and helping you understand how to shift your life for the better.

Life can be challenging, and uncertain at times. Whether it's transitions in life, anxiety, depression, parental conflicts, child conflicts, traumatic experiences, abuse, behavioral adjustments, or grief/loss. You and your family can overcome the hardships of life and things that just don't make sense; by working together through difficult emotions and living life as you were meant to live. 2024 is here and good things can happen for you this year!

Life transitions, unexpected changes, and traumatic events can impact our sense of self: what we believe about who we are, how we show up in the world, and how we interact with others. As a therapist, my goal is to provide an empowering, nurturing environment in which to discover a path towards healing, growth, and a more authentic connection with one’s self and with others, particularly following traumatic events. I strive to be affirming of the experiences of clients in the LGBTQ community, as well as other culturally marginalized and/or oppressed communities, and strive to meet clients wherever they are in their journey.

Whether you are struggling with a life change (life-limiting diagnosis, divorce, a new phase of life), a loss (death, a relationship, job, sense of your own independence), feeling stuck (life isn't moving in the direction you had hoped, you want to feel different but just don't know where to start), or you are in pain (physical or emotional), I can be a non-biased sounding board and guide. I like to meet my clients "right where they are" and help you with tools to move in the direction you wish to be. I'm easy to talk to, not afraid to talk about hard things, and mix in my own "humanness" with a dose of humor in our sessions.

Life can be challenging and difficult and we all struggle with sadness, anxiety, anger, loss and past trauma issues that can feel overwhelming and interfere with our ability to function and maintain our relationships. Do you want to learn about the purpose of our emotions and manage the energy that comes with those feelings? Do you want to understand how your past experiences have shaped your core beliefs and emotional responses and learn how to take positive steps to unpack emotional baggage that is weighing you down? Would you benefit from learning better communication skills to reduce personal conflicts and improve relationships?
