Therapists in Little Rock, AR

My goal as a therapist is to help people become more the master of their lives so they are living as fully, effectively, and joyfully as they want. I help clients resolve past traumas & issues and gain new skills in self-confidence, relationships, and accomplishing life's goals. During my 30+ years as a therapist, I have taught psychotherapy at graduate schools (8 years) in Indonesia and The Philippines as well as maintaining a full-time private practice specializing in depression, grief, relationships, parenting, divorce, phobias, anxiety, anger management, PTSD with military personnel and survivors of trauma / abuse; and cross-cultural & inter-faith issues.

Let's face it, life events shape our present, and contribute to a loss of connection to ourselves, family, others, and the world. A recovered sense-of-self is essential for empowerment to face these issues. And, because this disconnect initially occurs in earliest childhood, traditional "talk" therapy alone is an insufficient approach. I am a therapist shaped by a myriad of life roles and events. I intentionally sought a PhD in clinical psychology with a specialization in "somatic psychology" to underscore my own therapeutic experience. Somatic psychology studies how the "body" informs and provides clues to our emotional responses linked to childhood.

Marital or relationship problems, traumatic past, depression, anxiety, frustration, anger, unable to focus or concentrate, alcohol or substance abuse, or just struggling to take the next step in life. These are just a fraction of the issues and problems I help people with every day. People want peace in their lives, but the reality is peace has a price. Our lives are entangled in responsibilities and relationships that are extremely difficult and take a heavy toll upon us mentally. In many cases we are to believe that if you can't see the hurt or the pain then it doesn't exist. It does and it is real. There is help and it is here.

Bio video on my website...When you pay for therapy, you're expecting something of tangible value. All too often what you get instead is a nice person on a couch and little else. That’s not me. With high energy and humor, I help people recover from sexual addiction; I help couples lost in conflict and hopelessness; and I help parents with teens and young adults. I work with sexual abuse, attachment wounds, and traumas/PTSD of all kinds. I am a Christian, and I approach therapy from a clinical perspective. We can integrate your faith as much as you feel comfortable, or not at all.

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. When I was younger, I found myself burdened by debilitating anxiety, depression, and a lot of unhelpful coping mechanisms which resulted in feeling stuck, loneliness, and relational problems with family, friends, and romantic partners alike. 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!

Life has challenging moments and obstacles and having someone to work with you on your journey can help make the impossible become possible. Are you looking to heal and build a better path? Do past events or daily stressors overwhelm you? Do you feel like you've attempted to make change or work through your emotional pain but nothing seems to be working? Often it can be frustrating when you've feel that you have exhausted your options to building a better path.

I am passionate about helping couples, individuals and families strengthen their relationships and perceptions of themselves. I can assist your healing from trauma and help you navigate through difficult life transitions. I hold a MS in Marriage and Family Therapy from John Brown University and use a range of highly effective, evidence-based counseling approaches. I use a combination of Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I am highly skilled in Grief Recovery as well as Affair Recovery. I am also proficient at using Brainspotting to assist with stuck points, performance anxiety and clients with Trauma.

I provide treatment for a wide variety of individual mental health diagnoses in teens and adults ranging from major depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, anger management, partner relational problems, and psychotic disorders. I have also taught process and skills development groups in: communication, anger management, stress management, relationship skills, recovery, DBT, and relapse prevention.

With 20 years of experience working in the helping profession with children, adolescents, families and adults and the last 11 years serving as a licensed professional counselor, I am able to accurately and effectively evaluate and treat most issues arising within each of these groups and across multiple settings. I have a Master of Science degree and a Specialist in Education degree in Professional Counseling. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral, and Experiential Therapy approaches when working with individuals and families.

Watch my bio video on my website. My goal in counseling is to use the experience I have accrued over the years, my directness, and my humor to help clients find their true self and exist in relationships the way they were created to. I believe that the root of all addiction is trauma. Instead of my clients asking, “What’s wrong with me?” I want them to ask themselves, “What happened to me?” From this vantage point, we can begin to walk the road of healing and break the bonds of shame. With significant experience in addiction/trauma treatment, I am able to provide my clients a deep understanding of their pain.

I am the Lead Therapist and Director of Arkansas Holistic Therapy (AHT). AHT is a mental health counseling center that provides traditional psychotherapy services with ecological-based interventions to support overall health outcomes. I’m a LCSW trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for children & adolescents, Trauma Conscious Yoga Method, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). AHT’s goal is to provide self-directed, therapeutic interventions to holistically improve psycho-social-emotional outcomes for our clients.

Have you wondered, "Am I the only one struggling?" or, "Why can't I just be happy?" Maybe you've experienced loss, rejection, or betrayal. Maybe physical illness or emotional pain like loneliness, sadness, fear, and worry drag you down. Maybe devastating trauma or abuse refuses to stay in the past. Whether you've experienced more tragedy and hardship than most, or just think, "Most folks seem to be living their lives better than me," therapy has been proven to help.

Do you struggle to be truly authentic or know yourself? There is freedom in taking off the masks you feel you need to wear to protect yourself, or who you believe others need you to be. Therapy involves change, a healing that brings your real self to life, but change isn't always easy. Therapy is an investment, and you aren’t investing your time and money to talk with a “friend.” If you're looking for that kind of therapist, that's not me. I have a direct and active approach to therapy. While being genuine and empathetic, I will confront and challenge the beliefs that keep you from living as your authentic self.

Life can be challenging at times and you may want to make changes. It can be difficult to reach out or even know where to start sometimes. You are not alone and do not have to face the things you are going through by yourself. I am here to listen, understand, and work with you. 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.

Following retirement from a twenty-six-year career in the military, I felt compelled to complete my degree in counseling as a way to give back to my community and support local military families. I work with children and adults. Specialties are Autism, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Trauma and PTSD. I use Christian and non-Christian therapy depending on the client's requests.
