Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Smackover, AR

Welcome! Fourteen years in, this still moves me. ❤️ Let's see if any of this sounds familiar: You check the locks again on your way to bed. You reread the text nine times, send it, then apologize for sending it. You sit in the car in the driveway a minute longer than you need to. You are steady in the hospital hallway and you come apart in the cereal aisle. Your kid gets called defiant by adults who have never seen him tired. You know which friends stopped calling first. You have carried this well, and you have carried it alone, and both of those cost you something. This is for you. Children, teenagers, adults, people starting over at sixty-eight.

I am a Mental Health Counselor, licensed in NY, MA, NJ, NH, RI, KS, UT, WI, IN, AR, and OR, with over 20 years experience in the counseling field. I have had experience assisting clients with a wide range of concerns, such as, parenting issues, family/personal relationships, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, and anger management.

I love animals, travel, and new experiences. I've lived abroad in two different countries over a 6 year period, gaining great exposure to different cultures and people. I find it a privilege to serve and help people through their struggles. I feel my own life experiences help me connect with others.

Are you feeling trapped? As if you're navigating through a thick fog, drained, or restless? Are you having nightmares, overwhelmed by your emotions, or finding yourself easily triggered? It's important to remember that you're not alone on this journey. By taking steps to comprehend and address these emotions, you can embark on a path toward healing and personal growth.

I am currently working towards my PhD in Psychology. I received my Master of Art in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Stephen F. Austin State University in 2015. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in Texas. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor in Arkansas and Florida. I only work with adults aged 18 and over. I specialize in working with adults who have trauma backgrounds, late-diagnosed ADHD, late-diagnosed Autism, Anxiety, Depression & PTSD.

I’ve witnessed the power of therapy to bring healing and growth across many settings and life circumstances. Seeing lives change through this work continually reminds me what a privilege it is to step into someone’s story and walk alongside them toward greater understanding, peace, and resilience.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 6 states who earned her Master's of Social Work degree from Southern Illinois University of Carbondale in 2006.
