I have been in Private Practice since 2010, in the Mental Health field in various capacities for 30 years! I still love what I do, and am effective. I provide the type of therapy that changes you and your relationships for the rest of your days. I am blessed with the gift of helping others; I have earned and honed skills and abilities to utilize them to your benefit. One of the things that tends to happen is I am able, through exploration and eliciting examples, processing events and history with you, to "know what I'm looking at" as in accurate diagnosis of your 'symptoms' and cultural/environmental factors both past and present to explain why you experience what you do, and make sense of why it may seem so hard to change or even feel out of your control. Misdiagnosis is something I see regularly; that's such a disservice. It's not all about the Diagnosis, not at all, but sometimes it's one of the most helpful things to know and helps to make sense of a lot of your history + gives you power in the knowledge itself for direction and focus. It is NOT about labeling or assigning blame or allowing/justifying continued unhealthy factors in your life due to past harms experienced; it's about explaining through observation and insight, why you experience what you do and then identifying concrete applicable ways You can change what you'd like - toward a more healthy enjoyable life. My style is collaborative, adjustable to whomever I work with, real-time experience and help, humor, creative ways to learn, and a different experience for each person who comes for services -- because each person is unique; I can gear what I have to offer, to you personally. My office is open 3 days/week. This helps me stay balanced and healthy so your Clinician is not burned out and is happy to see you, every time. Many of your friends, family members, and coworkers have been helped since 2010. Simplicity Counseling: It's Your Time ~ Tell your friends and family! ALL ARE WELCOME.
Located in Eureka Springs on Hwy 62 - easy access in a Confidential setting. I look forward to hearing from you. (479) 244-5181
