Female Therapists in Arkansas

I have experience working with adults, children, and families, in-home & outpatient settings. Approaches & techniques which may be incorporated into sessions include those found in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Child Parent Psychotherapy, & Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), relaxation techniques, and play therapy techniques. As one of a limited number of providers in Northwest Arkansas with training in Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), I assist sufferers of trauma, abuse, neglect, and many other distressing experiences improve functioning and healing relationships.

My work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker is devoted to helping individuals and families have a more fulfilling life by growing from their struggles and healing from their pain. My clients struggle with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship issues, family issues, parenting problems, trauma, mood issues, ADHD, behavioral issues, and anger issues. Whether they are working towards enlightenment and insight or symptom-relief and improved function, my hope is that together we can work to achieve their goals. I promise to be there every step of the journey.

I work from the belief that people hold within themselves the ability to change. Often our greatest change comes at times of transition. Transitions -- be they of community, health, age, gender identity, or relationship origin -- present a need for careful decision-making and support. When confronted with hard challenges, many of us need someone simply to assist us in looking at our lives, recognizing our strengths and supports around us, and developing strategies to bring about the change we desire.

Many times disruptions in life occur because we are out of alignment with our purpose, our people or our passion. Life transitions (chronic health diagnosis, aging parents, launching children into college and life, for example) create stress that mis-aligns our emotional well-being and we sometimes resort to unhealthy coping mechanisms that only exacerbate our dis-ease with life both present and future. I utilize a person-centered approach and will meet you where you are to address issues of your concern.

Life changes in expected and unexpected ways that can leave people feeling stressed, lost, confused or anxious and depressed. It is my goal to create a safe and nurturing atmosphere, where my clients can feel free to express themselves genuinely. I want to be a catalyst in the therapeutic process by offering the unconditional positive regard and empathy to help you grow emotionally. I believe therapy is a collaboration between the client and therapist. I may possess the clinical training but you are the expert on your life so we have to work together to find what will work best for you.

Overthinking and worst-case-scenario planning keep you distracted and irritable lately. You’re the go-to person when others want to vent. They know you'll try to help, but you're getting resentful of the earfuls of TMI. If you’re honest, it's getting old to be called selfish when you try to take some alone time. You haven't been feeling like yourself, and are starting to wonder if there's something wrong with you. You want to understand what you're feeling, and why- but most of all, how to change it. Does this sound familiar?

New to adulthood? Getting off track? Losing your morals? Outgrowing your circle? Expecting mommy? New to parenthood? Balancing work & parenthood ? Want to discover your dreams/gifts? Working towards accomplishing your dreams? New to your career? Struggling as a professional? This list could go on. Becoming the best version of yourself is something we all want, but the who, what, when, where and how we get there may seem harder to achieve. I'm curious to know what's in your “tool bag," we all come in to life with one. However, our exposure and experiences determine the make up of our bag and we use those tools.

What a greater reward than to see yourself grow and flourish as you overcome stumbling blocks in your life. Over the past 25 years I have empowered adults, children, and adolescents along with their families to develop coping skills, increase productive and positive thinking, improve relationships, and overcome traumatic issues in a safe, nurturing environment.

I am a Certified Autism Specialist and a Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist.

I am passionate about working with individuals who are struggling with symptoms resulting from any type of overwhelming experience or trauma, especially early life trauma and neglect. Through my years of practice, I have seen that it's often true that, while people can experience great healing with talk therapy alone, it doesn't always feel like enough. Over the last 12 years, this has led me to pursue more specialized training in trauma-centered interventions, including Somatic Experiencing and clinical neurofeedback.
