About
As a female clinician with deep experience in mental health, I meet clients where they are and work collaboratively toward their goals.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 28 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health services to children, adolescents, adults, and families in a wide range of clinical settings. My professional experience includes school-based services, adult case management, inpatient psychiatric treatment, therapeutic foster care, and medical social work. Having worked continuously in the mental health field since 1996, I bring a deep understanding of the diverse challenges individuals and families face and a strong commitment to individualized care.
I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of New England. My therapeutic approach integrates solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and practical coping strategies that promote lasting growth and resilience.
In practice, I provide therapy for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transition challenges. I value meeting you where you are and creating a safe, supportive space for healing and personal growth. When you’re ready, I welcome you to schedule an appointment and begin this work together.

I strive to help others find happiness and direction by using empathy and acceptance to assist the client in learning how to utilize the tools that they need to heal and find peace again.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 14 years of experience supporting adults, teens, and children through life’s challenges. I’ve worked in outpatient, short-term inpatient, and residential settings, and I have a particular passion for helping adults navigate the transitions that come with aging. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, and I strive to help my clients discover new perspectives, identify their goals, and take meaningful steps toward creating a more fulfilling life.
I earned my Master’s in Community Counseling from the University of Central Arkansas and hold certification in tech-assisted counseling. I use a client-centered approach to help individuals identify what they want to achieve and develop personalized plans to reach their goals, always honoring their autonomy and lived experience.
Life can be difficult, especially when faced with pain, loss, or unexpected change. I know the importance of having someone who listens without judgment and provides genuine support. I invite you to reach out so we can work together on building the clarity, healing, and strength needed to make your life what you want it to be.

Premarital counseling is a type of therapy that helps couples prepare for and build a happy, successful marriage. Premarital therapists at Thriveworks in Conway, AR can help couples develop essential communication skills, identify potential conflict areas, and learn how to manage their specific relationship issues.
When you and your partner begin premarital counseling, your counselor will want to get to know you both as well as your relationship. In order to accomplish this, they will ask questions around the following:
If there is a particular area that they feel needs to be explored further (for example, you note that you and your partner have very different spending habits and views on money), they’ll guide the conversation in the given direction.
Premarital counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
Generally speaking, Thriveworks premarital counseling in Conway typically lasts for 8-10 weeks. This, however, can vary depending on the counselor’s approach as well as the clients’ preferences and needs. For example, some couples might request additional sessions to work through problem areas that they’ve identified in their relationship pre-wedding.
Is a wedding in your future? Are you spending time discussing seating arrangements, menus, and flowers? Are you watching the response cards come in, without even knowing for sure that you want to go through with the wedding? Or perhaps you are not quite to this point yet. You and your significant other are contemplating engagement and marriage, but you have a lot of things to discuss first.
Whatever the reason that has brought you to this page, we are glad you have found us. The premarital counseling professionals at Thriveworks Conway are ready and able to help you prepare for your wedding and more importantly, your marriage. Reach out today to schedule an appointment.
Planning a wedding can be very stressful with all of the family members to deal with, preferences to sort out, and decisions to make. There are budgets to consider, complicated relationships to navigate, and new people to meet. This may be the most time you have spent with your new in-laws. This can be a lot to deal with alone. Even the happiest and most stable couples can experience challenges when planning and preparing for a wedding. An experienced premarital counselor can help you navigate these challenges.
We have all heard the statistics about the failure of marriage. There is no need to let you and your fiancé turn into one of those failures. Starting out with the most preparation is the safest way you can begin a marriage. We will all experience hardships in our relationships and in our marriages. This is part of the package of a relationship. The key is to be prepared and have communication tools to deal with the problems that will arise.
Marriage is not easy. Relationships require hard work and commitment. Choosing to engage in premarital counseling is an excellent first step in making your marriage work. You and your fiancé do not have to be just another statistic.
If you are considering premarital counseling, Thriveworks counselors are the right choice. Through premarital counseling, couples will definitely learn to create vital abilities to connect in the marital relationship, recognize potential dispute areas, as well as discover the best ways to navigate their way through life’s challenges.
As with most types of therapy and counseling some of the benefits include:
Therapy or counseling does not imply you have a problem. Rather, it indicates that you are prepared and wise in trying to prevent future problems. Whether it is required by the person officiating your wedding, or you and your partner have decided to participate on your own, it is an excellent decision.
Naturally, pre-marital counseling will cover the big life choices such as:
Do not fear that undergoing a type of therapy called “premarital counseling” means that you absolutely have to get married after finishing your sessions. In fact, some couples discover through the course of counseling that it is best if they do not take their relationship to the next level. The choice will be up to you and your partner, after you have explored your relationship in a deep and meaningful way.
Thriveworks counselors are ready and able to help, starting right away. We provide same-week appointments to new clients, offer evening and weekend sessions, and accept most major insurances.
