My ideal client is one who is overcoming adversity.

I strive to provide a warm, respectful, comfortable environment for you to explore your life and areas of discontent. I believe people can benefit from therapy at any stage in life, things come up and often we need a sounding board to gain insight into our future goals or past experiences.

My goal is to help you feel supported and empowered to make significant changes in your life and improve overall well being.

In person therapy and Zoom Telehealth with Arkansas, Missouri and Florida residents. You will do better in work, life, and relationships when you are acting in accord with who you truly are, versus trying to be someone you are not.” Dr. Henry Cloud.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I collaborate with clients so they can engage in self-exploration and practice skills grounded in their personal values. As a queer nonbinary, fat therapist, I believe in addressing intersecting identities and building a compassionate relationship that centers the client's distinct needs. I specialize in relationship and sex therapy and especially enjoy working with individuals, couples, and polycules navigating changes in identity and sexual health. I have experience working with the impact of medical trauma and chronic illness on sexuality and with exploration of sexual and gender identity.

Let's face it, life events shape our present, and contribute to a loss of connection to ourselves, family, others, and the world. A recovered sense-of-self is essential for empowerment to face these issues. And, because this disconnect initially occurs in earliest childhood, traditional "talk" therapy alone is an insufficient approach. I am a therapist shaped by a myriad of life roles and events. I intentionally sought a PhD in clinical psychology with a specialization in "somatic psychology" to underscore my own therapeutic experience. Somatic psychology studies how the "body" informs and provides clues to our emotional responses linked to childhood.

Deciding to get counseling is a brave step. It takes courage to risk being vulnerable with a stranger, but seeking an ally to help when you feel stuck or overwhelmed is a sign of mental health. As a counselor, I seek to form a partnership of equals with clients. I have been on both sides of the counseling relationship, and I know how powerful it can be to connect in a validating and supportive environment. I love counseling in part because I often learn as much from my clients as I have from being a client myself.

Do you struggle with an inner critic and perfectionism that just won't quit? Suffering due to trauma or emotional pain?

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.
