By weaving a blend of therapy styles, like Play Therapy, DBT, and ecotherapy, I guide clients toward resilience and transformation.<\/p>\n<p>I have experience with youth navigating depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, PTSD, complex trauma, and grief. I also guide parents\/caregivers through their own growth and healing. I am honored to serve clients from all walks of life, with over a decade of expertise supporting Black and brown communities and the LGBTQ+ family.<\/p>\n<p>My approach is also grounded in ancestral healing, where we work together to uncover how generational themes may play a role in your mental health. Somatics, dreamwork, and ecotherapy are some of the many tools we use to explore these deeper family themes.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to practicing therapy, I am passionate about research and policy that supports children\u2019s wellbeing. My recent study on adolescent suicidality in Arkansas is one I hope to publish and help youth thrive statewide.<\/p>\n<p>I graduated from the University of Arkansas with a Master of Social Work in 2026, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Anthropology in 2015. I taught English in Malaysia as a U.S. Fulbright Scholar, along with time living in Mexico and Argentina. In my free time, I love gardening, dancing, and stargazing!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(PLMSW)<\/p>","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":17259,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[19,27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-rogers","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17257"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17257\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
