About
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.

I aim to help the client understand that what one thinks affects how one feels.
I use tools such as a workbook on anxiety, which has exercises about relearning your thoughts if you are having problems with negative thoughts.
Clients show improvement by reporting to or displaying to the clinician that they are able to replace more negative thoughts with positive ones.
Clients can work on being more aware of negative thoughts and try to replace them with positive ones. If they have homework, it can help with working on this.
Clients can work on replacing negative/anxious self-talk with positive/calming self-talk.
At Thriveworks, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and evidence-based form of psychotherapy or talk therapy. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors that can contribute to various mental health issues or challenges that people are struggling with.
Cognitive behavioral therapists specialize in Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and can help you to identify and comprehend your thought patterns, which often encompass automatic negative thoughts, cognitive distortions, and self-defeating beliefs. Once these negative thought patterns are pinpointed, cognitive behavioral therapists aim to challenge and replace them with the objective of fostering more constructive and logical thinking. In addition, these therapists place significant emphasis on implementing positive behavioral changes based on the newly established, healthier thought patterns.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly effective for addressing conditions like anxiety disorders, depression, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. It focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors, making it well-suited for issues related to distorted thinking and emotional regulation.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
The success rate of CBT varies depending on the intentions of the client and their condition(s).
The selection between cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is based on an individual’s unique needs and challenges. CBT is commonly chosen for addressing conditions such as anxiety and depression, whereas DBT is especially beneficial for individuals dealing with borderline personality disorder, emotional regulation issues, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with our Thriveworks therapists in Maumelle, AR is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Generally, CBT is considered a short-term therapy, typically lasting for about 12 to 20 weekly sessions. In some cases, it might extend to around 16 to 20 sessions for more complex issues.
In research studies, cognitive behavioral therapy brought substantial and sustainable change into client’s lives by first addressing their thoughts. CBT proved an effective treatment for many physical, relational, mental, social, and psychological challenges, and in fact, it brought measurable relief to anxiety and depression clients. One of the biggest reasons for its success is that CBT equips clients with emotional and cognitive skills that they use long after therapy ends.
The counselors and therapists at Thriveworks Maumelle offer cognitive behavioral therapy, and we have seen first-hand the power that a changed attitude can bring. Reach out today to get started.
As a therapeutic method, cognitive behavioral therapy is intensely practical. In any given session, clients and therapists will work through a real situation the client is facing. Examples of such issues may include…
Interpreting a situation inaccurately can lead to uncomfortable emotions and unhelpful actions. Interrupting these cognitive distortions before they escalate into actions means being able to recognize them. A few examples of cognitive distortions follow:
