If your brain had an “off” switch, you would’ve found it by now.
The racing thoughts. The what-ifs. The panic that comes out of nowhere. The heaviness of grief or the constant hum of anxiety. I’m Michelle, a licensed clinical social worker in Arkansas. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, grief, loss, and major life transitions. Whether you’re dealing with racing thoughts, deep emotional pain, or an inner critic that won’t let up, therapy can help you make room for your emotions, shift your relationship with anxious thoughts, and feel more grounded in your everyday life.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I bring deep presence, compassion, and curiosity to our work—not judgment. Drawing from evidence-based practices like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), ERP & Phase 1 Brain-spotting. I tailor therapy to fit your unique experiences and needs.
Clients often come to me when they’re feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, or struggling to make sense of all they’re carrying. Many are highly self-aware, yet still feel caught in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, or unresolved grief. If that sounds like you, know that healing is possible!
