I established NewLeaf Counseling of the River Valley, Inc on

July of 2017, in order to begin treating clients in a private practice

setting. On October of 2018, I moved my location within 

Stonehaven Behavior Health & Wellness, in order to work

alongside my friend, and long-time mentor, Dr. Monty Atchley.

 

I am a bilingual mental health therapist, proficiently speaking both

English and Spanish languages. I am licensed in the state of Arkansas,

and am also recognized as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) by

the National Board for Certified Counselors. I have completed

advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and am also

a trauma and grief specialist trained in Eye Movement Desensitization

and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I am also experienced in working

in a variety of settings, including: outpatient, day treatment, and

school-based therapy.

​

I am passionate about meeting clients where they are in life, providing

them with support, guiding them through their process, giving them

the tools for success, and strengthening the support systems in their

lives in order to help them meet their therapeutic goals and objectives,

as well as helping them bring out the best version of themselves. I tend

encourage clients to explore and process emotions, thoughts, and experiences, considering social/cultural differences, and implement appropriate approaches in order to alleviate/resolve distress, and help them find direction in their life.

​

I have received formal training, as well as have experience in treating an array of problems and/or disorders. That being said, I have specialized in certain areas being: trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, life changes, relational issues, and ADHD. These specific areas are areas that I have either specialized in while in graduate school, or have received certification in from reputable organizations in order to provide the highest quality services possible.

I look forward to working with you!
