New Directions | Lucet Therapists in Grannis, AR

Are you ready to embark on a journey towards healing, growth, and empowerment? I'm here to support you every step of the way. I'm a licensed professional counselor dedicated to helping individuals heal from their traumas, navigate life's challenges, and cultivate positive change.

I specialize in treating grief and trauma, using EMDR in matters of unresolved disturbance. Whether someone suffers physical pain, anxiety, or the inability to sleep due to nightmares or disruptive memories, eye movement desensitization reprocessing can help alleviate the trauma of PTSD to help put the pieces of one’s life together following a disturbing event. Trauma takes many different forms as does healing, and healing disturbance is as individual as the individual him/herself. The best part of working with clients is helping to restore joy and insight to the client’s vision for life.

I am passionate about helping others improve their lives. I enjoy helping people reach their full potential. My experiences working in private practice, college, and a community mental health center have allowed me to work with a wide range of people and their concerns. I collaborate with numerous physicians and family practices in Hot Springs. My practice is different from other offices. My office is very relaxing and private. I recognize that your time is valuable. I'll work hard to accommodate your schedule. You are not just a number to me! Your experience is extremely important to me!

We all have struggles from time to time. Life can bring loss, disappointment, confusion, frustration, and the feeling of being completely overwhelmed. The clutter of emotions can take over our lives and affect our relationships. A counselor provides an emphatic ear, support, and a safe place to sort through the struggles and emotions. Many times I find clients are unaware of their strengths therefore underutilizing them. Some simply are unsure of the next step. I help clients regain control of their emotions and clear the way to better choices.

I am a licensed mental health professional with over 11 years of clinical experience. My professional background is in Clinical Psychology with a Client-Centered focus. Client-Centered Counseling is a manner of being or an attitudinal approach that believes that positive change in people occurs in a therapeutic relationship with another person (a helper or a therapist) in which the helper provides unconditional positive regard, genuineness and empathy toward the client or patient. During my career, I have worked with all types of issues and in various stages of one’s life path.I am Looking forward to helping you.

I have been told that I am a good listener. This is an essential quality in a good therapist but it is by no means sufficient. Throughout my training, I have collected what I believe to be the most effective strategies and perspectives for bringing about change in a person's behaviors and beliefs that is consistent with who the individual wishes to be. I am particularly proud that I have been able to work effectively with people of broadly varying belief systems in ways that enable them to call on already existing internal resources to improve their lives within their own personal environment.

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.
