About me
As a licensed therapist in Arkansas, and Oklahoma. I bring nearly three decades of compassionate counseling experience to supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding the complex emotional landscapes of personal growth, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, trauma recovery, and grief.
I am committed to creating a supportive therapeutic environment where clients can explore their deepest challenges, from workplace stress and relationship difficulties to personal identity and life purpose. My practice centers on empowering individuals to develop resilience, self-compassion, and meaningful strategies for emotional healing.
My professional focus spans a wide range of concerns, including women's issues, caregiver stress, midlife transitions, multicultural experiences, and navigating complex emotional terrain such as codependency, isolation, and personal transformation. I approach each client's journey with genuine empathy, respect, and a collaborative spirit, helping individuals rediscover their inner strength and potential for healing.

DeAnna is a great therapist who listens to what I am saying and understands where my wounded spots are. I love her messages to me each week. She has a way with words that I just love.
She my 3rd therapist and by far the best at exactly what is helping me to rewire and renew my mind.
Thank you so much DeAnna.
