Existential Therapists in Arkansas

You are doing great! . . . mostly. Yes, there's the rising tension in your marriage and recently one of you used the "D" word. Or you worry about money or you worry about your kids because maybe they are lazy or don't respect you. Or you worry about your parents who are aging. You are good at your job but work doesn't fulfill you. You might be spending more and more time alone with your thoughts, and you find them difficult companions. They might make you feel like you are drowning in anger and sorrow. You are doing great, but sometimes it feels like you are hanging on by a thread. Or maybe the thread has already snapped.

I believe each individual is the expert in their own life and once we can grasp this concept, real change and growth can occur. It is my belief that as a therapist, I have the opportunity to empower individuals to realize their own strengths and abilities to accomplish their goals and find well-being. I feel the therapeutic relationship, and the trust and empathy in that relationship, is one of the most important factors when it comes to working with clients on their self-understanding and change.

If you are to find yourself, your family, or your child struggling, the best thing you can do is seek out someone to listen and empathize with your situation. My approach is grounded in the principles of Attachment Theory and Humanistic Psychology. Through a warm and empathetic environment, I invite clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and patterns of interaction, promoting insight and awareness that pave the way for meaningful change.

People choose to enter therapy for many reasons, but ultimately the reason for most people is that we want to feel better. Suffering may be an inescapable part of being human, but that's not all there is. When people are given a compassionate space where they can be open and vulnerable, they discover insights and strengths that can help them approach life with a new perspective and make healthy changes.

I focus heavily on existential and interpersonal issues in my practice and encourage clients to explore and express their needs and wants in work, school, relationships and beyond. I have experience working with teenagers, young adults, and their families after years of being a therapist and working in related jobs. I hope through working with you, I can help you be the best version of yourself in all aspects of life.

I believe all individuals carry heavy questions about their life: Why am I here? What am I supposed do? Why do I feel bad? The weight of these thoughts can cause distress in our minds and bodies. All age groups bear these questions, albeit in different ways and expressions. There are not simple answers, yet you can find healing through the universality of exploring your meaning. I believe in your power to heal and your desire to feel whole. I believe you are doing the best you can do with the tools you have. And I will listen and support you, welcome shadows and joys equally, and will encourage you to do the same.

We all struggle with something. Taking the first step toward living a more meaningful, fulfilling life is a big jump for some. I know what it feels like to sit in the client's chair and how scary it can be to get started in therapy. When I was younger, I found myself burdened by debilitating anxiety, depression, and a lot of unhelpful coping mechanisms which resulted in feeling stuck, loneliness, and relational problems with family, friends, and romantic partners alike. Does this sound familiar? If so, you may be the perfect client for me. I can't wait to meet you. Call or email to request an appointment today!

Let's face it, the past few years have changed us all. With increased rates of exhaustion, dissociation, and burnout on the rise, everyday tasks can feel nearly impossible. Maybe you’ve experienced feeling easily irritated, constant muscle tension, trouble sleeping, impatience, or just plain emptiness. These experiences affect all areas of our lives, even our ability to care or believe it can get better. One of the best things you can do for yourself, and sometimes the hardest, is get support! Taking that first step is so hard but it can be the turning point. You are worth it!
