Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. If you're a parent/guardian, teen, or young adult feeling stuck about making it through tomorrow, know these are unprecedented times. With over 10+ years of experience across inpatient, medical, school, home, and community settings, I am dedicated to providing the NWA community with diagnostic, compassionate, and evidence-based treatment, positive parenting support and resources. I specialize in navigating emotional reactivity due to challenges w anxiety/mood, self-esteem/id, trauma, ADHD, neurodiversity, and the impacts of systemic and generational stressors particularly within marginalized communities.
My practice Amara Therapy, is rooted in the belief that healing begins with learning to 'love your mind' + 'heal with grace'. This guides how I approach therapy—honoring the complexity of your story while fostering growth. I primarily use CBT-based frameworks while integrating trauma-responsive, developmentally appropriate, and culturally affirming care.
Sessions are tailored to each client’s unique needs. I use hands-on activities, visuals, and curated skill packets to support real-world application. I connect clients w referrals, community resources, create visual routines, and use practical guidance- helping growth extend beyond therapy, especially for those who haven’t connected with traditional therapy.
