Treat yourself to finding a healthy balance and fulfilment in your life...you DESERVE your best self! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been licensed in Arkansas for the past 15 years. My current focus is working with adults and older adults who are working through the grief process, whether they are overwhelmed with a loved one's death or illness, a loss of a relationship, struggling with depression/anxiety or any other diagnosis. I am here to help you explore your thoughts and feelings, and assist you in finding balance in your "upside down" world.

I have a Doctorate Degree in Counseling and 36 years of professional experience as a Licensed Psychologist and Licensed Professional Counselor in Arkansas. I was a graduate school professor of Counseling for 11years before beginning my private practice. After resigning my academic position, I provided individual, marital, and family counseling in a private practice setting for 36 years to clients (children through adults) with a wide variety of clinical issues. I believe people enter counseling seeking change, and that rapid change is possible as people already possess many of the resources needed for change. Client resources blossom quickly in a therapeutic relationship that is safe, warm, interactive, and facilitates hope. In counseling, I seek to facilitate a corrective emotional experience where a client relives a past, often painful emotional situational in the present, but with my providing a healthier, affirming response, effectively “correcting” the original traumatic experience and allowing for new, healing emotional patterns to form. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I look forward to joining you on your therapeutic journey.
