I believe that life is more challenging than ever and many face difficult situations and struggles. My emphasis in practice is thought based. I believe thoughts can have a very powerful effect on how we feel, how we live and how we make decisions. My goal as a therapist is to help clients explore thoughts and feelings in order to help clients identify healthy ways to overcome life's challenges and obstacles. I consider it a privilege to be able to participate in the helping relationship, working to help clients navigate through the challenges, struggles and joys of life.
I received my Masters of Counseling from the University of Arkansas in 1995 and have been practicing in the Northwest Arkansas area since that time. I have extensive experience working with pre-teens, teenagers and adults in a variety of settings. I have worked with many clients on issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma and many more.
Having worked through my own challenges and struggles in life, I understand that having a therapist that you can connect to and feel comfortable with can be a life changing experience. If you would like to reach out to me for a free phone consult, please feel free to contact me.
