Therapists in Arkansas

I love learning and have significant training in various modalities. I especially love working with individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or post-traumatic stress Disorder (PTSD). I love working with couples and families, and am LGBTQA+ affirming, poly-aware, and sex-positive/kink knowledgeable. If you are struggling, hiring a professional is a great way to help resolve the things preventing you from living your life the way you want.

The human experience can be challenging at times, but can also be beautiful and meaningful. Learning that both are normal parts of the journey can be empowering and allow one to reach our dreams and goals by overcoming the blocks and pain that keep us from reaching those dreams. We can learn to grow through pain, enjoy moments of pure joy and build community.

I have worked with a wide variety of clients over the course of my 23-year career.

We all struggle with something. Taking the first step toward living a more meaningful, fulfilling life is a big jump for some. I know what it feels like to sit in the client's chair and how scary it can be to get started in therapy.

Does this sound familiar? If so, you may be the perfect client for me. I can't wait to meet you. Call or email to request an appointment today!

You've been in an office all day, and probably the last thing you want to do is go to another office and talk about problems. My goal is to do therapy differently when possible, whether that means going outdoors and taking a walk or meeting from the comfort of your own home via secured telehealth. Either way, you'll experience evidence-based treatment in a new way. Check out my website for more about what to expect. If you need one-on-one care, we can do that.
