Strength-Based Therapists in De Queen, AR

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

My goal is that folks feel hope when they leave my office. I believe that individuals, couples, and families are at times lacking the tools to get back on track after they have been derailed by life.

I enjoy working with those who are dealing with grief & loss issues, relationship struggles, adolescents who are figuring out life, & adults who need someone who cares.

Everyone has a rough time sometimes. This can be a result of trauma or mental health or even our own choices.

I believe you already possess within you, everything you need to work through whatever issue you bring to my office. You simply need some help pulling it out. Maybe you know exactly what the issue is or maybe you are having a hard time pinpointing what is going on, but you know something "feels off". Two of the biggest questions we tackle in your first session are, "What final made you decide to come to therapy?" and "What do you hope to gain by coming to therapy?" These two questions help lay the foundation we will build on.

Do you have relationship challenges? Have you tried to stop negative habits without success? Has depression affected your life? Are you struggling with anxiety?

Life can leave us feeling confused, overwhelmed, disconnected, and full of emotions that we may not understand.

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.

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.
