About
I know firsthand what it’s like to face anxiety, stress, trauma, and grief. That’s why I’m dedicated to walking alongside others as they navigate their own challenges, offering hope, compassion, and support to help them move forward and live a fulfilling life.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, family conflict, and parenting concerns in children, adolescents, and adults. I have extensive experience providing individual therapy, family therapy, and parental support services in therapeutic counseling settings.
I earned my Master of Science in mental health counseling from Walden University. I am trained in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR, and I take an individualized approach to care, recognizing that no single model fits every client. My style is direct, honest, and compassionate.
I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can openly explore your experiences and goals. Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan to help you build insight, resilience, and meaningful change. If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, I invite you to schedule a session.

Are you, your child, or your family struggling with anxiety, depression, stress management, or trauma? I have a passion for working with individuals (children and adults), families, and couples. My job is to assist you in helping you look at things differently. Focusing on a shift in perspective allows for needed changes in feelings, thoughts, and behaviors to fall into place. I have been a practicing therapist for 13 years. My aim is to assist individuals, families, and/or couples in creating a better quality of life. So, if a better quality of life is what you are seeking, I want to walk with you on that journey.
I enjoy studying behavior analysis and learning concepts and conditioning. During my collegiate career, I participated in my college's study of Oddity Concepts in Learning. I graduated cum laude with my master's degree in counseling in 2009 from UALR.
Beginning a new mental health journey is not easy, but it is worth the effort. I value the vulnerability that it took to begin this journey. I see you. I hear you. Let's take this journey together. Therapy is not an overnight fix. There is not magic wand. It won't always be easy. But, it will be worth it. Are you ready?

As a therapist grounded in empathy and integrity, I help individuals navigate life's transitions with courage, insight, and practical tools for lasting change.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 5 years of experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and boundary challenges. With a background that includes 26 years of military service, I bring a steady, compassionate presence to my work. I also support children in developing emotional awareness, confidence, and practical coping skills within a safe and supportive environment.
I earned my master’s degree in counseling from the University of Arkansas. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and EMDR, blending evidence-based techniques with warmth and collaboration to help individuals build coping skills and explore emotional patterns that influence their experiences.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating a life transition, or seeking support for yourself or your child, you don’t have to carry that weight alone. I strive to create a space where you feel heard and supported as we work together to build resilience, strengthen your voice, and move toward meaningful and lasting change.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.
Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.
