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.

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.

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?
