- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Arkansas, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions with empathy and expertise.
I specialize in working with Veterans, First Responders, LGBTQ+ individuals, all age groups over 16 and those seeking a progressive, affirming therapeutic approach. My focus areas include addressing social anxiety, communication difficulties, isolation, self-love, and personal growth. I'm particularly committed to supporting clients through significant life changes, relationship challenges, and healing from past emotional wounds.
My therapeutic approach is deeply collaborative, yet very direct. I will be honest with you, offer suggestions, but you will be doing the work with my support. I use an assortment of therapeutic interventions, one tailored to the client

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
