As a neurodivergent therapist, I understand the unique challenges that can come with dayto-day functioning.
I'm an LPC with 8 years of behavioral health experience. My main goal is to help clients find relief and growth in a safe, open, and supportive environment. I work extensively with children and adults, specializing in anxiety, depression, DMDD, adjustment disorders, and trauma. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I provide practical tools to help you understand thought patterns and build healthy coping skills. Whether your child struggles with emotional regulation or you are navigating a difficult transition, we will work collaboratively toward healing.
In my practice, I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Reality Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. Working together, you can expect to focus on adjusting your thoughts to improve your behaviors and emotions, while honestly exploring the reality of your choices in a supportive environment.No matter what challenges you or your child are facing, you do not have to carry them alone. Taking the first step can be hard, but I am here to walk alongside you with compassion and support. Please reach out today; let's start building your path to healing together.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach for helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy is to help them realize they can be safe in the present from the trauma they experienced in the past.
I use a variety of tools from trauma-informed therapy, such as ACT, somatic and mindfulness techniques, and grief/loss therapy.
I know a client is making progress when they can display a full range of emotions without losing control because they have learned how to effectively use coping skills that help them in their daily functioning.
Journaling is an important way to address negative thoughts and emotions. The client can begin the process of challenging those negative and traumatic thoughts and decide if they are still valid in the present.
To prepare for your first PTSD/trauma therapy session, be kind and patient with yourself. The impact of trauma can sometimes take a while to address, but you are worth the effort!
At Thriveworks, Trauma/PTSD therapy involves dedicated efforts to address and navigate through past and/or recent traumatic events. Therapists specializing in trauma create a secure environment to process and heal from these experiences, aiming to reduce trauma-related symptoms and enhance overall quality of life.
Our Thriveworks providers use Trauma/PTSD therapy treatments like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing EMDR, CBT, and exposure therapy with the goal of helping clients process the traumatic events they have experienced so that they can to start feeling safe and secure again.
The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can vary but often include:
The best way to overcome PTSD triggers is to seek the assistance of a professional therapist, such as those at Thriveworks, who can help you to understand and treat your PTSD triggers.
In most cases, a therapist who specializes in Trauma/PTSD therapy is the best type of mental health professional to address the symptoms of PTSD.
PTSD/trauma therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
If a client is working through a single traumatic event that occurred as an adult, trauma or PTSD therapy may only take a few months, but in general, it can take a year or more to effectively treat trauma symptoms and PTSD. The duration of treatment is highly dependent on the client and the severity of their symptoms.
The success rate of therapy for PTSD depends entirely on the individual’s symptoms, commitment to attending sessions, and personal abilities.
Have you ever watched a really scary movie, and afterwards felt extremely jumpy? A knock on the door, a creak in your floor—everything seems a little bit louder, more intense. Imagine experiencing this feeling all the time: a never-ending constant state of fear. That feeling is often what someone suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) experiences daily.
At Thriveworks Maumelle, we know that living with PTSD can be a challenging feat. We have therapists that want to work with those suffering in order to help them manage this difficult mental illness. Our PTSD therapists are willing to assist people in order to process what has happened to them and allow them to feel safe again. Reach out today for help.
PTSD is a mental health condition that can arise after experiencing a traumatic event. Symptoms of PTSD can vary depending on the person suffering through it. However, symptoms typically include:
Symptoms don’t necessarily surface the day after an event takes place, instead it can take days, months, or years for symptoms to surface, which makes battling this illness a tough fight.
When thinking about PTSD, many people associate it with war veterans, and although many of them do suffer from this condition, there is a wide scope of individuals affected by the illness. Some might include:
These are only some of the examples of people who have heavy exposure to potential distress. If you feel like you have lived through or witnessed a traumatic event and it has left you feeling fearful and damaged, help is out there.

They are each equipped with the tools needed to assist you in overcoming this mental illness.
