Our therapists provide online therapy in Bentonville, AR

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience supporting children, adults, and families. I specialize in helping clients navigate trauma, mental illness, abuse, and behavior concerns. My goal is to create a safe and compassionate environment where clients feel understood, valued, and empowered to make meaningful change. I bring empathy, creativity, and collaboration into my sessions to meet each client where they are in their journey toward healing.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Boise State University. I use play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused techniques to guide growth and healing while remaining flexible in my approach. I enjoy incorporating art, music, and open-ended dialogue to promote self-awareness, problem-solving, and emotional expression.

Healing is a courageous journey, and I believe the act of caring itself is heroic. I invite you to take that step with me as we explore the process together. Whether you’re seeking clarity, growth, or relief from life’s challenges, I look forward to walking alongside you and supporting your transformation with compassion and purpose.

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?
