I help people who understand their struggles intellectually but still cannot seem to change how they feel, react, or relate to others. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Clinical Hypnotherapist with more than 10 years of experience, I specialize in trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, grief, and painful relationship patterns. My advanced training includes EMDR, clinical hypnotherapy, somatic approaches, EFT tapping, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. I offer more than traditional talk therapy for clients who are ready to move beyond coping and begin creating meaningful, lasting change.

You have taken a courageous step to consider counseling! It is my privilege to create a safe, nurturing space for you to breathe and to focus on self-care. There is rest, here, and always hope! There is room for you to BE you. Room to step back, to consider, to contemplate. Room to grow in understanding, practical skills, and a fresh perspective. My practice focuses on offering you tools to help unpack the hard stuff, and strengthen your relationship with yourself and with others in your life. My approach is attachment based, client focused, interactive, and is grounded in Biblical principles of love, gratitude and grace.

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.

Welcome! Fourteen years in, this still moves me. ❤️ Let's see if any of this sounds familiar: You check the locks again on your way to bed. You reread the text nine times, send it, then apologize for sending it. You sit in the car in the driveway a minute longer than you need to. You are steady in the hospital hallway and you come apart in the cereal aisle. Your kid gets called defiant by adults who have never seen him tired. You know which friends stopped calling first. You have carried this well, and you have carried it alone, and both of those cost you something. This is for you. Children, teenagers, adults, people starting over at sixty-eight.

When life gives you lemons...

My education gave me the tools to be a skilled clinician. But it was my own trauma that gave me the insight and depth I bring to this work. I know what it feels like to live in a body that doesn’t feel safe—to question everything, including yourself. I spent over a decade learning how to heal, reclaim my voice, and become the kind of guide I once needed.

In the midst of that long journey, I had a quiet moment of clarity: what I was going through wasn’t just about survival—it was about becoming someone who could walk with others through the dark. That experience grounds my work in both knowledge and deep compassion.

Learning to love the desert

I’ve come to believe that being lost isn’t a problem—it’s part of the path. Like La Loba, the mythical bone-gatherer who wanders the desert collecting what’s been buried and brings it back to life, I help others gather what they’ve lost along the way. That process is sacred, slow, and often surprising—but it’s how we come home to ourselves.

There are parts of you that haven’t died; they’ve just been waiting. And sometimes, when it all falls apart, that’s when the wild, wise parts of you rise again.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Little Rock

Searching for therapists in Little Rock starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family-focused support.

In a mid-size city like Little Rock, you may find a mix of therapists with offices near neighborhoods like Pulaski Heights, Chenal Valley, Hillcrest, and downtown, along with virtual options across Arkansas. In-person care may be a good fit if location and commute matter to your schedule, while virtual sessions can make it easier to find appointment times that work for you. Before booking, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers the format you prefer, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios closely can also show how a therapist describes their communication style and what to expect in sessions.

Therapy in Little Rock can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, compare availability, review profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse therapists in Little Rock, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
