Therapists in Arkansas

My goal as a therapist is to assist clients navigating the difficult path through trauma and stress. Working in partnership with clients, I first seek to understand where they are on that path and how they got there. Then I seek to help people develop a greater awareness of their body’s autonomic reactions to stress, so they are less consumed by their thoughts and emotions, and are able to regain their sense of safety and control.

I have worked in a variety of clinical and educational settings. I've had the privilege of serving people of all ages with a wide variety of issues (including veterans and their families).

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

Some life circumstances can prove quite challenging. No matter who you are, unexpected, saddening, confusing, or terrible and tragic things can happen.

By helping you address the struggles and pain you are dealing with, learning skills that cater to your strengths, and identifying what gives your life meaning and purpose, the process of healing can have lasting and life changing benefits. I utilize a holistic approach to help with finding what works for you, your relationships, or your family.

You are so incredibly valuable. You deserve a life free from fear, anxiety, and depression. But, like drops of water in a bucket, negative experiences have a way of building up over time. The inability to empty our bucket causes us to feel overwhelmed by our thoughts, emotions and the world around us. Right now, as you read this, I want you to imagine what it might feel like to find freedom and to put down the burdens you're carrying. Imagine what it might be like for your past to no longer control you or for your future to contain hope instead of dread. Come in, let's talk and let an experienced guide point you towards possibility.

I like to think I have a unique skill set coupled with life experience that equips me to be a dynamic therapist. I served as a Marine in the military, spent 20 years working in the pathology field looking at healing the body and now work with clients from 5 years to older adult healing the mind. Therapy is difficult to navigate and can feel messy for the whole system (friends, family, work, school, and more). I value your experience and how that has shaped core beliefs. Because we have these core beliefs, doesn't make them true. Let's assign new rules to these beliefs and heal the system as a whole both in body and mind.

Life can hit hard. Stress and heartache can build over time or it can explode instantly into one big mess. Most of the time you can get through ok on your own but sometimes it's just too much to keep going solo. Worries, bad memories, feeling overwhelmed, kids/significant other driving you nuts, or wanting to just hide in bed can take over. Sometimes you need a friendly ear to help you figure out what happened and how to get out of the mess without feeling judged or looked down on. Someone who can help you feel like you again: happy, hopeful, confident, empowered!
