Individual Therapy AKA Talk Therapy is a type of psychotherapy where a client works 1 on 1 with a trained therapist to address psychological issues.

Individual Therapy can help with a variety of mental health concerns, such as: depression, anxiety, anger, relational issues, parenting problems, school difficulties, and career changes. Just to name a few. 

Individual Therapy sessions are typically 53-60 minutes in length. Frequency of appointments varies depending on severity, availability, time constraints, and financial considerations. 

Family Therapy is a form of talk therapy that focuses on the improvement of relationships, communication, and helps manage conflicts within the family system.

Couples Therapy is yet again, another form of talk therapy that focuses on helping couples understand and resolve problems, dissatisfaction, and conflict within their relationship. 

Both Family Therapy and Couples Therapy sessions are between 45-60 minutes in length. 

**Both Family and Couples Therapy sessions require all involved parties to be physically located in the same state (preferably Arkansas)**

Feeling blah? Have trouble telling people ‘No’? Are you a people pleaser to your own detriment? Struggling in your relationship(s)? Family drama? Trouble getting out of bed in the morning? Stuck or feel lost? Don't know what to do next? Lost interest in doing the stuff you used to love? Do negative thoughts or feelings about yourself or the world run rampant through your head? Ever feel hopeless or down? Have trouble standing up for yourself? Resentful? Flat out angry? Worry excessively? Trauma? No one gets it? Feel like you have no one to talk to? Ever feel like what’s the point? Life stressors getting you down? Ever feel stuck in the deep, dark hole? Beat yourself up over the little things or maybe the big things? Afraid of failing? Too hard on yourself, but think you deserve it or aren't 'good enough'? Do you keep sweeping problems under the metaphorical rug?  Feeling anxious or on edge? Trouble making decisions? Feeling disconnected from yourself? 

Unfortunately, life has kicked my ass too, but I can say without a shadow of the doubt, that change is possible. I believe everyone is capable of change. Meaning, we are capable of overcoming hardships and becoming the person we want to be to live the best life possible. Change allows us to grow in all aspects of our lives. Everyone makes mistakes, but these mistakes do not define who we are as a person. Life is hard. It’s okay to not be okay. It is okay to not know what to do. This is where therapy comes into play. I am here to help you overcome these difficult moments so you are able to live the best life possible while being the best version of yourself. Therapy is a safe haven that allows vulnerability, expressiveness, learning, awareness, exploration, discussion, processing, and openness. I tell people all the time that therapy isn’t always rainbows and butterflies, there are going to be difficult moments, but there are also going to be moments of enlightenment and insight, these are the moments I live for. These are the moments when change occurs and lives are transformed. We might laugh and we might cry, but we will get through it together. Glad, you’re here.

Let's face it....there are a million of us (therapists) out here and if you're indecisive like me, that's a whole lot of options (*It's like shopping*). We all went to school, learned a lot of cool, incredibly helpful, educational, scientific and evidenced based stuff, and have degrees to show for it. 

The difference: We all approach therapy in endless ways. No two therapists practice therapy the same, and that's the fun part. You get to decide if you 'click' with someone or not. I tend to take the come as you are, laissez-faire 'Let people do as they choose', no frills, no judgements, give forewarnings, use of humor, sarcastic, messy hair don't care, it's okay to let your guard down, honest, laid-back, relaxed, person centered, cognitive behavioral, behavioral focused, emotion focused, trauma informed, therapeutic relationship building approach to therapy. 

My only dress code rule is PLEASE DO NOT SHOW UP NAKED! 

Might make it a bit awkward....

I value people for who they are, and not who others want them to be, but who they genuinely 100% without a shadow of a doubt are. I believe the therapeutic relationship between a client and a therapist is key to transformation and change; because let's face it, if you don't 'like' or 'click' with your therapist, then you're going to dread coming to therapy, which turns into you not coming to therapy, and then eventually, a whole lot of wasted money and time for nothing. I also value the individual uniqueness that clients bring to the table. This ain't no 'one size fits all' type of place and therapy is no different. I pat myself on the back for being 100% authentically me, like, for real, I can't and won't be any other way. I tend to instill this same level of authenticity into everything that I do. I think of myself as a passenger along for the ride while you take the wheel and lead us where you need to go. I won't abandon you along this journey, no matter how bumpy it might get. We might laugh, cry, or hell, I might piss you off along the way, but I can stand by the fact that anything I do or say, as well as the techniques I use are all with the best intentions and best evidence based practices available to help you. Sometimes therapy techniques are weird. I totally get it. I'm trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy), and TA (Technology Assisted Counseling); all of which were totally weird at first, but very helpful. Sometimes my brain is moving faster than my mouth can keep up and I invent new words or phrases. Sometimes I have a tiny alfalfa cowlick that gleams from the backlight of my laptop. Sometimes one of my many cats likes to perch like a parrot on my shoulder all while flashing the camera. You're probably wondering why I mentioned any of this at all, well, because I want you to know what to expect and how I go about therapeutizing (*Not a word, but is now*) 

If by chance, I am not trained in a specific modality or we aren't a great fit, I know plenty of providers who are 🙂 Even if I'm not the therapist for you, I want to help find you one who is, you deserve it.
