Lesbian Therapists in Jacksonville, AR

Life isn't always easy and our expectations are often different than we imagined. I help couples, pre-marital couples & individuals in many of these life circumstances, such as infidelity, trauma, depression, anxiety, also feeling like you are not good enough, not worthy. If you want to grow and achieve your goals for your life I would be honored to help you. How you overcome these obstacles should define you, not the hurt. If you would like to live in the future not in the past, then I am the right therapist for you, your goals are my goals. I work at your pace within the comfort of your environment via Telehealth.

Life is full of ups and downs that can be overwhelming at times. While learning to manage and adapt is important to personal growth, so is having someone walk that journey with you. I base my therapeutic approach around building a solid foundation of trust and acceptance with my clients. I value individuality and will encourage first and foremost that you accept “you as you” and not what today’s societal norms tell you what you should or shouldn’t be. I look forward to working with you and/or your family and being a resource to help you continue your journey.

Immediate Openings Available. Healing has its greatest chance of success when paired with a strong, compassionate, and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. If you prefer the spaciousness of a session to allow for deeper internal exploration and understanding, then you may be my ideal client. Support is a vital aspect towards change and your therapist should be an important part of that. My approach is guided by compassion and confidence in the internal wisdom, that when fostered, facilitates the healing process. Are you ready for THIS kind of journey?

I am experienced in helping with mood disorders, adjustment disorders, and substance abuse. I work with adults of all ages. Clients want to feel heard and work through issues with a trusted professional.

Regardless of what brings you to therapy, I offer a safe and comfortable space where you can be your full self without fear of judgment. Being a whole and healthy person in our world can be hard, but with support in your corner it is doable, and worth the work. I know that working to make positive changes can often be met with challenges on all sides. My goal is to meet clients where they are by remaining open and compassionate to each individual’s struggles, and then walk with them towards the life they want to create.

My ideal client would be a person who is motivated and wants to make positive changes and is willing to put effort into this process.

At Arkansas Counseling and Wellness Services, we utilize an integrated care model to expand our ability to work with all clients. We adopted this model because it combines different disciplines and approaches to mental health. We have an emphasis on evidence-based practices and pride ourselves on employing strong, integrated care in the treatment of mental health and substance abuse conditions. By incorporating scientifically validated therapeutic techniques and interventions, we ensure that clients receive the most effective and up-to-date care available, which we feel shows our dedication to quality and positive outcomes.

With 20 years of experience working in the helping profession with children, adolescents, families and adults and the last 11 years serving as a licensed professional counselor, I am able to accurately and effectively evaluate and treat most issues arising within each of these groups and across multiple settings.
