I help adolescents, couples, and adults to work through adjustments, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, OCD, and trauma and create a life they love. When you are on a rollercoaster of spiraling thoughts and painful emotions, you feel broken, unseen, or voiceless. You may be experiencing confusion, guilt, pain, or shame, but you don’t have to stay there. I have great compassion for the difficulties you are experiencing, and I look forward to working with you to find your inner strength and assist you in living a happy, fulfilling life.

I believe healing begins when someone finally has a place where they don't have to pretend anymore. Healing takes place when we feel safe enough to tell our story. As a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker, I help adults navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, and the many challenges that come with being human. I help Veterans and civilians heal from trauma, manage anxiety and depression, overcome addiction, and build lives marked by resilience, purpose, and renewed hope. I am a musician, animal lover, and nature explorer. I enjoy road trips and discovering new places with my husband of 43 years! We have two daughters who are also LCSWs whom I work with as well. We have a precious, 21 month-old granddaughter who keeps us laughing! As a trauma survivor/hero and thriver myself, I love exploring the healing path with my clients along life's messy journey. My passion is helping others discover their many strengths, and empowering them to become thrivers and heroes as well!!

Are you on a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement? Or perhaps it has come to your attention that you are repeating patterns in your life that don't serve you anymore. In your work with me, I will teach you a variety of tools to use for finding the best version of yourself. I can help you understand complex emotions like shame, guilt, hopelessness, and lack of purpose. I will also help you look at deep-set core beliefs, how they may hinder you, and help you to learn how to change them. I also enjoy addressing spiritual and religious concerns.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Fayetteville

Finding addiction therapists in Fayetteville starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse concerns, and co-occurring anxiety or depression. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your goals, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.

Fayetteville is a smaller market, so local appointment options may be more limited than in larger cities. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still keeping care accessible from home, work, or school. When narrowing your options, consider appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand their approach, including whether they describe addiction care in a non-judgmental way and have experience with harm reduction frameworks.

Therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and offers upfront cost estimates before you book. You can confirm coverage for your specific plan on Headway as you compare options. You can compare profiles, confirm coverage, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
