I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience helping adults navigate some of the harder things life brings — anxiety, PTSD, OCD, grief, bipolar disorder, maternal mental health, infertility, eating disorders, and chronic illness, among others. I work with adults of all backgrounds and I'm fully LGBTQIA+-affirming. I see all of my clients via telehealth, which means if you're anywhere in Arkansas, we can work together — no commute, no waiting room. I'm warm and I'm direct, and I don't believe in keeping you in therapy longer than you need to be.
I specialize in mood disorders, anxiety, and chronic pain — and I bring the same compassionate curiosity to every client I work with. I understand that reaching out for help can feel scary. Many of my clients come in worried they won't be believed, or anxious about how they'll be perceived. I want you to know that you are safe here — your experience is valid, and you will never be judged. Outside of the clinic, you'll find me knitting or tending to my freshwater aquariums, which keeps me grounded and reminds me to appreciate the slow, steady work of growth.
I am a Mental Health Counselor, licensed in NY, MA, NJ, NH, RI, KS, UT, WI, IN, AR, and OR, with over 20 years experience in the counseling field. I have had experience assisting clients with a wide range of concerns, such as, parenting issues, family/personal relationships, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, and anger management.
I believe we’re all doing the best we can, and that belief guides my work as a therapist. I care deeply about people and feel honored to be someone you can bring the hard things to. I’m down-to-earth, professional, and shaped by a diverse background that led me to counseling as my life’s work.
You might be feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or trying to manage the effects of past trauma while also navigating relationships or family challenges. It can feel exhausting trying to handle everything on your own.
I work with individuals, couples, and families dealing with anxiety, trauma, and relationship stress, helping you feel more supported, understood, and able to move forward with confidence.
Seeking help can be the first step to acquire greater understanding and insight into our lives and relationships.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Fayetteville, AR
Finding LGBTQIA therapists in Fayetteville starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist who clearly lists experience with LGBTQIA+ clients, gender-diverse care, coming out, family or relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some therapists may also mention affirmative therapy, World Professional Association for Transgender Health training, or experience supporting transgender, nonbinary, and queer people. These details can help you find a therapist whose training and listed specialties match what you want to address.
Fayetteville has a smaller local therapist market than many large cities, so LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may have more limited in-person availability. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Arkansas while still helping you stay connected to care that fits your schedule. As you compare therapists, review whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, how soon they can meet, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their work with LGBTQIA+ communities in their bios. Searches related to pride counseling nw often point to the same need: affirming care that feels specific, accessible, and easy to book.
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 are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists in Fayetteville, choose someone who matches your needs and plan, and book directly when you’re ready.
