Growth is painful, and healing involves self-confrontation, self-compassion, and self-love. Feeling whole does not mean we are problem free.
Wholeness means we can work with, accept, and embrace all we are and live our lives authentically.
Healthy intimate relationships are collaborative, and collaboration requires transparency, vulnerability and integrity.
Sometimes, we need to deconstruct who we were programmed to be in order to become who we are.
All humans are worthy of love and pleasure.

Jarika earned her Master of Social Work degree from Wichita State University. She is a member of the Phi Alpha Honor Society demonstrating excellence in scholarship and achievement in social work.
Jarika is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker. Her professional background includes working with a variety of populations in the areas of inpatient and outpatient mental health, substance abuse recovery, and child welfare. Coming from a place of non-judgment and radical genuineness, she hopes to build a beneficial therapeutic alliance to move people towards changes they would like to see in their life using a strength-based and client-driven approach.
She believes that everyone can create a life that meets their definition of success. Whether a person’s issues stem from under control or overcontrol, she can meet them where they are at and adapt the therapeutic approach to meet their needs. Before processing trauma, she believes it is necessary to develop skills to utilize between sessions. People who under control their behaviors will benefit from learning how to regulate their emotions, tolerate their distress, and healthily express their needs while maintaining respect towards themselves and others. Individuals that overcontrol themselves will benefit from learning how to open themselves up to new experiences, adopt flexible control and increase intimacy and social connectedness. Through mindfulness, all individuals can learn to be more present in their lives and relationships.
