About My Clients
Many people I work with describe feeling stuck in survival mode, where their body never fully relaxes and their emotions feel either too intense or completely numb. I specialize in helping pre/teens/young adults calm their nervous systems and find relief from anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and trauma-related symptoms using brain-based, experiential approaches. I am licensed in Arkansas and Missouri.
My Background and Approach
Using polyvagal-informed therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) I help clients: Feel more grounded and regulated in their bodies. Reduce anxiety, panic, and emotional reactivity. Resolve distressing memories without becoming overwhelmed. Reconnect with a sense of safety, control, and confidence. Many of the challenges my clients face stem from chronic stress, relational wounds, or past experiences that taught their nervous system to stay on high alert—even if they don’t identify with the word “trauma.” Together, we work to help the body learn that it’s safe again. My approach tends to be a good fit for people who want practical, body-based tools.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Therapy with me is not about pushing through or rehashing everything that's ever happened to you. Instead, we focus on helping your body and brain process what they've been holding onto so you can feel calmer, more present, and more like yourself. Our journey will start by gathering your important history and working together to make a treatment plan that meets your needs.
