I was part of the local crisis team focused primarily on adult crisis care needs but also children and adolescent crisis care. My skill set includes both group and individual mental health counseling services. I assisted with providing for the care and needs of seriously emotionally disturbed children and teens who had been abused and neglected.

Many of the persons I have worked with over the years have had Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), an anxiety disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Asperger’s, Post Traumatic Disorder (PTSD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and other significant impairment. Sometimes these persons were requiring out-of-home placements in treatment facilities, emergency shelters, juvenile detention, and DHS custody.

My therapeutic work with adults has included college students, crisis intervention, group psychotherapy, completing diagnostic evaluations, PTSD and abuse recovery, and providing direct care for persons with self-destructive patterns and those diagnosed with personality disorders.

I am knowledgeable about and do have experience treating co-occurring disorders, nervous break downs, ADHD and impulse control problems, Bipolar, Panic, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Dysthmia, Major Depression, and chronic mental illness.

Professional memberships have included the American Counseling Association and the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES), a division within the American Counseling Association. Additionally, I have previously been a member of the Association for Play Therapy, Chi Sigma Iota the international and professional academic honor society for counseling, Arkansas Counseling Association, International Association of Trauma Professionals (IATP), Association for Play Therapy Arkansas branch, The Association for Experiential Education (AEE), Therapeutic Recreation Division, and the Northwest Arkansas Mental Health Counselors Association.

I have enjoyed working with children and teens in summer camp settings and volunteering in my community. I served as Vice President of the Board of Directors for the local rape crisis center in years past and provided state and national presentations for helping professionals and mental health clinicians.

My private practice includes men, women, teenagers, and children coping with the pressures & demands of daily life, work and/or school, and relationships. My background is uniquely suited for assisting helping professionals struggling with Compassion Fatigue or other work related stress. Your concerns can be addressed successfully.

Counseling can help you improve your functioning socially, with family, in occupational settings or with career development, higher education, relationships, parenting, self expression or creativity, or other needed areas.

College students who are struggling may benefit from help available to cultivate their talents and skills. I have strategies that can help you increase your success and the satisfaction of your college experience.

Difficult emotions can present unique challenges in our lives that may sometimes require mental health counseling. Both men and women often find themselves in a position of single parenting; getting help can strengthen you and your family functioning.
