Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 3.2 mi away • North Little Rock, AR


I work with adults who are ready for a more honest, compassionate relationship with themselves. In our work, we’ll slow down and make sense of your experiences, including the parts that may feel confusing, overwhelming, or hard to name. Together, we’ll explore unprocessed feelings, long‐standing patterns, and the stories you carry about yourself and others. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine curiosity. I aim to offer a space where your innermost thoughts and emotions can be expressed without judgment, and where you can feel both gently challenged and deeply understood. I see adults in both individual and couples therapy and welcome people with diverse identities, relationships, and backgrounds.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Russellville, AR


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.

You might be feeling exhausted from holding everything together, anxious about the future, or stuck in patterns that no longer fit who you are. I work primarily with women and couples navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and trauma that can be hard to put into words. Many of my clients are new to therapy or haven’t always felt culturally safe or understood in past spaces. With me, you don’t have to shrink yourself or explain your whole identity just to be believed. Together, we’ll work toward you feeling more grounded, more confident, and more like yourself again.

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!!
