After 14 years of providing caring and professional counseling services to families, children, teens, and young adults from all walks of life in NWA, I have developed a reality based approach to counseling that emphasizes self care, non-blaming language, and creativity. My goal is to help individuals, couples, and families find greater satisfaction and fulfillment through richer relationships, enhanced self-confidence, and a well-balanced life. I strive to provide quality support in a non-judgmental setting by working with clients to create a treatment plan that is tailored to meet each person's unique and individualized needs.

I believe there is hope in all circumstances and healing to be found. Whatever brings you to therapy, you can expect that I will provide you with compassion, respect and understanding as we journey together. I believe that we all have the ability to change and make better choices but sometimes that is difficult to accomplish on our own. I encourage and challenge my clients to be their best selves and to experience life to the fullest. With a supportive, non-judgmental approach, we will work together toward growth, validation and self-discovery.

I believe every person’s story deserves to be heard and shared in a safe space. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. My passion lies in helping people work through trauma, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, addiction, and working through family issues. Life can be hard, messy, and painful and you shouldn’t have to walk through it alone. I enjoy helping my clients find the words to tell their stories, while also untangling and processing all of the feelings and memories that come from those stories.

As necessary as change often is, it can also be one of the hardest things to do. It seems safe to stay with what we know even if it's not what's for our best. The good news is is that change is indeed possible! Having an outside perspective to process your story and to begin to interpret and understand things differently can be a vital as you pursue growth and change. The lens of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) considers your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how these interact as well as how they influence our interactions with others; it acknowledge the past while focusing primarily on growth in the present and future.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the States of Arkansas & Texas. I started as a therapist at a community mental health clinic in rural East Texas and moved my practice to NW Arkansas in the fall of 2021. I have broad experience treating many individuals across diverse backgrounds and experiences. Whatever difficulties are bringing you into therapy, I will be emotionally connected as we journey through your particular challenges.

Life is difficult at times, and it can feel more of a burden than a load. When you feel overwhelmed, support through understanding and solution seeking can be helpful. While it often feels safer to be tentative and retreat, finding someone safe to help address and resolve issues can be more beneficial for growth in successful living.

Feeling sad, overwhelmed, frustrated, or anxious? At times the challenges of life can be overwhelming and we can struggle to cope. This is when a compassionate and competent therapist can make a difference. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, dealing with anger management, trying to save a relationship, discovering your sexual or gender identity, or just need someone to assist you through some of life's transitions. I want you to know there is someone who cares and wants to help. No matter how long or how much you have been struggling, I believe there is hope and change is possible.

Are you navigating the aftermath of a traumatic experience, feeling paralyzed and overwhelmed by pain? Has your life been shattered by unexpected circumstances? Do you find yourself forever marked by a defining event, which has created a sense of disconnection from those closest to you, leaving you uncertain about how to find your way back to one another? The impact of trauma and loss can leave one feeling paralyzed and disconnected from oneself and others. On one hand, you yearn for comfort and connection from others; yet, on the other hand, your best efforts to seek connection tend to only amplify your pain.

Asking for help is difficult, sometimes overwhelming. Most people are touched by anxiety, depression, relationship issues and even addiction at some point in their lives, either within themselves or a family member. I create a safe, relaxing and inviting space for you to begin dealing with these difficult, but treatable issues. Many people, particularly men, are socialized to ignore or never discuss their innermost feelings and worries. College students often struggle with questions about whom they are and whom they want to become. Parents often feel powerless to help their children. Together, we can work toward achieving your goals.
