I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor with experience providing therapy to children, adolescents and adults in various treatment settings. I'm licensed in the state of Arkansas and also a telehealth provider in the state of Florida. I have provided services to individuals with many struggles including anxiety, depression, trauma, perfectionism, family problems, adjustment disorders, and many of the other challenges of life. I'm dedicated to providing culturally sensitive treatment to individuals in need. I prefer to take a collaborative approach with clients allowing them some autonomy to work through their issues. I believe that empathy, unconditional positive regard, and support should act as the foundation of any therapeutic relationship. The basis of my theoretical approach is Person-Centered Therapy, but I also utilize ideologies and techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT). I'm trained in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is utilized for trauma and anxiety. I'm also trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) used to help teens and adults work through trauma and related issues. I believe in acting as a guide to my clients assisting them as they navigate through their issues. I focus on the client’s strengths while encouraging, supporting, challenging, and even confronting them when necessary.
