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.

My commitment to you is simple: I will listen carefully, communicate openly, and act with integrity in every interaction. I’ll take the time to understand your unique goals, challenges, and values, and I’ll tailor my approach to meet your needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. You can expect transparency from me at every step. I’ll explain not only what I recommend, but why I recommend it, so you always feel informed and empowered to make decisions.

Therapist

Hello, and welcome. With over 15 years in the counseling field, I continue to feel deeply called to this work and honored to support people through life's challenges. Many of the clients I work with are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, PTSD, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship and family issues, and emotional overwhelm. I also sit with people in seasons that are hard to talk about anywhere else — living with chronic illness or other physical health issues, walking through infertility, caring for someone at the end of life, or asking real questions about identity when everything familiar has shifted. I see both male and female clients across adulthood, and men's issues and women's issues are equally welcome here. Sometimes people come to therapy feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to be a steady source of support where you feel heard, respected, and encouraged as you work through what is weighing on you and begin moving toward healing and growth.

As a mom of three, I understand that life can be messy, overwhelming, and beautiful all at once. Parenting, relationships, and navigating our own mental health can bring challenges that are hard to put into words.

In our sessions, you’ll find me to be genuine, down-to-earth, and deeply personal in my approach. I believe in connecting through real-life experiences, meeting you where you are, and creating a space where you feel comfortable showing up as your whole self.
