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.

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.

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 Mental Health Therapist in Arkansas

Searching for therapists in Arkansas starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want to work on. Across the state, available therapists and specialties can vary between larger cities, smaller towns, and rural communities. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience with concerns like yours. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and format can also shape your search. In Little Rock, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, and other parts of Arkansas, some people prefer an in-person office, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility. You can also narrow your options by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, free phone consultations, and the structure of sessions. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and what to expect in a first appointment.

The cost of mental health care in Arkansas varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you search for Arkansas therapists who accept insurance, verify your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your plan and location as you search. From there, you can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
