Therapists in Pope County, AR

I'm so glad you are taking a HUGE step in your quest for change! SPOILER ALERT: Once you accept and love yourself exactly as you are, then you can change. I am dedicated to empowering clients to change the narrative of how they view themselves, others, and the world in order to create a more meaningful/fulfilling life. I strive to help my clients live courageously by approaching rather than avoiding their emotions, getting to know and love their true self (flaws and all), and by valuing the journeys of their life over the destinations.

I believe that individuals and families who seek mental health therapy desire to make changes but often are unsure where to start. Clients bring past trauma, setbacks, feelings of hopelessness, and despair into the therapeutic setting. Navigating through life transitions can often be daunting and confusing as well. Someone who can listen and partner with clients on their journey is paramount to their recovery. Goals include a life free of the constant bombardment of destructive thoughts that interfere with the quality of relationships and a sense of purpose.

Life doesn’t come with a set of instructions. Sometimes we find that what we are doing is no longer working in the way we want it to. We may find ourselves experiencing work problems, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, difficulties reaching goals, issues with parenting, grief, or just feeling like life isn’t what we want it to be. I help clients identify and build on their current strengths, while identifying ways to strengthen and build on areas that may be more challenging. It is my intention to create a safe space for clients to process their experiences, share their challenges, and find the best path forward.

I have a decade of professional experience working in schools, agencies, and private practice as a licensed professional counselor.

I have experience working with a variety of clients, including children, teens, adults, couples, and families. Together, we have worked through difficult life transitions, emotional/mood issues, behavior trouble, relational problems, and family conflict. Some are seeking clarity and understanding, while others are at the end of their rope and are making a final effort to fix something broken.

Change. It must be something you are considering as you read through counselor profiles. Change is powerful, healing, and necessary as we maneuver through life. Boundaries. This word is life changing. Healthy boundaries allow others to love us and appreciate us fully for who we are. Balance. Peace. Joy. These are achieved with hard work and implementing therapeutic tools we are often not taught. Therapy is a good place to explore, reprocess, learn, practice, and implement the skills needed to make the changes you are seeking.

Are you struggling in an area that you would like to improve? This could be your mood, your relationship with others, learning better communication, overall life satisfaction, or other areas. As a therapist, my role is to collaborate with you to establish goals to improve the identified area. One way is to tap into the your naturally built in strengths. You have used those strengths so far to make it to this point in life. I enjoy working with people and helping them reach their goals. Also, I am an ally and have experience working with clients in the LGBTQIA+ community.

Marital, family, and individual struggles impact our day-to-day lives and important moments.

I have worked with a wide range of individuals and families, adults and children, to deal with life's challenges.

Are you or someone you love struggling emotionally/mentally or maybe experienced trauma? Healing is possible!

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!

Life is hard. Anxiety, depression, adjusting to new experiences, and PTSD are just a few of the things that have a way of knocking us down. It sometimes takes courage to reach out for help. However, if you have come to a point where your dissatisfaction with life is greater than your discomfort of asking for help, you may be ready to explore therapy. I strive to make this as easy as possible for my clients. I offer a judgement free zone as an empathetic listener who may have some insight that will help you find your answers. This is your life. I am only here in the background, holding a lantern to help you light your path.
