Grief Therapists in Texarkana, AR

Change is the only constant in life. Our lives are constantly changing; we ourselves are evolving. With those changes come challenges, often mental and emotional. We learn and we grow through all of these changes. However, we often feel overwhelmed, hopeless, or just generally unable to cope with things. It's easy to let the changes in life weigh us down and take control, but I want to help you grow from your struggles and all of life's changes. As John Maxwell said, “Change is inevitable. Growth is optional," so let's grow together.

Lena Horne once wisely said, "it’s not the load that breaks you, but the way you carry it." As a therapist who has seen a lot of life, I'd be honored to become that trusted traveling companion that shares the load and helps lighten your burden.

Together, I believe we can chart a plan for you to regain control over your life and step towards new possibilities for peace and joy.

Are you suffering from anxiety, depression, self-esteem or relationship issues? Are you going through a stressful situation? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be feeling stuck but there is a way out. Therapy can help you get back to loving life and and having healthy relationships. My work involves helping you develop a deeper understanding of the way past experiences may be affecting you and find solutions to break patterns.

During one's life, we all face times that are challenging and may seem overwhelming. Whether you are seeking help to identify options you have, changes you must make, or acceptance that is needed, know there are people who can help and places which can assist you in discovering the answers you seek.

Sometimes we don't see pain on the outside. Sometimes we silently suffer alone and it does impact our life in many ways- job, friends, family, romance, our self image/esteem, confidence. Sometimes we are haunted by the past. Sometimes there is depression/anxiety/panic. These are my kinds of clients. I see you and there is hope! Often, trauma and stress is what keeps us from enjoying life. What can goals be when the mud is thick? That's what I am here for. To assist in exploring the YOU in this life journey.

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light." — Albus Dumbledore. I consider clients to be experts in their own lives, clients know what suggestions sound appealing to them to help deal with problems in life. We may not always be able to change the outcome of our situations in life, though we certainly can help how we respond to problems that arise. I want to showcase to clients that change is possible, regardless of the circumstances that they may be facing, growth is possible to help us heal from our worries.

I am licensed in OK and AR and offer virtual and in-person appointments. I believe taking on life's day-to-day stressors can sometimes feel overwhelming and uncontrollable. Which leads us to feel anxious, sad, and frustrated which further impacts our ability to balance each facet of our lives. It is during these strenuous times that counseling may benefit you in creating clarity and encouragement through the chaos. As a counselor, it is my privilege to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment to process these concerns.

My ideal client is one who commits to therapy and is willing to allow me to help them learn how to face their issues and resolve them. I believe in honesty, even if it means telling someone things difficult to hear. We must have honesty in order for me to help them help themselves. I want every client I see to leave therapy feeling as if they are a better version of themselves and enjoy their life. I tell my clients that my job is to work myself out of a job. There is a quote from C.S. Lewis that I feel describes my therapeutic perspective. "Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny..." - C. S. Lewis

I am a meaning focused therapist. My passion is helping people learn how to live their best lives. I work with children, teens and adults. I also teach parent training and boundary development with parents of small children.

I provide a judgement free space for my clients to learn, grow and heal.

Deep emotional pain, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem can be symptoms of trauma or abuse. It can feel overwhelming until you just "don't want to do this anymore". Maybe you've read or heard about others who are experiencing relationship problems, have PTSD symptoms, are deeply sad or experiencing panic attacks, and you know exactly how it feels. "Normal" life has its ups and downs, but if you resonate with any of the above, you have probably experienced some abnormally stressful, traumatic life events. Any of them can become barriers to making and keeping meaningful connections with others or leading productive lives.

I approach my life's work humbly, even reverently, with deep sensitivity for what's got you even coming to see someone like me in the first place. I get that, really I do. And I'd love to help. I fit best with people who are okay with ambiguity and can "let the questions breathe," as we work on whatever has brought us together. I am able to see clients in Texas in person or virtually when you are in Arkansas.
