As a therapist, I provide clients with an affirming, respectful, and collaborative therapy environment to process both the joys and difficulties of life. I will meet you where you are so that I can assist you in growing and developing a deeper level of self-understanding.
My training in cognitive behavior therapy can address a wide variety of concerns, and I am also a certified provider of trauma-informed therapies. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and families from various backgrounds, as well as experience in community organizing. We will work together to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs!
I am a lifelong Arkansan with a background in community organizing around LGBTQ+ rights in the South. I have a passion for intersectionality, advocacy, and self-expression. I enjoy getting to know clients and watching them flourish as the best versions of themselves. I look forward to working with you in your therapy journey!
