Although I provide counseling for a wide variety of concerns, particular areas of focus include: women's issues (body image issues, postpartum transition/depression (PESI Trained in Perinatal Mood Disorders), empowerment/self-esteem; stress management; life transitions (retirement, job change, empty nest); medication adherence; grief and loss (death, relationship termination, miscarriage/infertility, job loss/change).
After 14 years of providing caring and professional counseling services to families, children, teens, and young adults from all walks of life in NWA, I have developed a reality based approach to counseling that emphasizes self care, non-blaming language, and creativity. My goal is to help individuals, couples, and families find greater satisfaction and fulfillment through richer relationships, enhanced self-confidence, and a well-balanced life. I strive to provide quality support in a non-judgmental setting by working with clients to create a treatment plan that is tailored to meet each person's unique and individualized needs.

I challenge individuals to identify themselves, their passions, and to grow beyond the mask that life pushes us to wear as a means of protection or out of fear. It is in true authenticity that we find freedom and joy to move from isolation or bondage to freedom and fullness. It is in freedom where we no longer have to choose living in fear, rejection, pain, and/or competition but can chose to live with depth, substance, love, and understanding.

I work from the belief that people hold within themselves the ability to change. Often our greatest change comes at times of transition. Transitions -- be they of community, health, age, gender identity, or relationship origin -- present a need for careful decision-making and support. When confronted with hard challenges, many of us need someone simply to assist us in looking at our lives, recognizing our strengths and supports around us, and developing strategies to bring about the change we desire.

Women's Issues Therapists

How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?

Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?

As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?

Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
