Feeling overwhelmed by leadership or job stress? Balancing work and life a challenge? Yearning for connections, battling self-doubt? I'm Lucy, a former music industry exec turned therapist, and my journey is a bit more rock 'n' roll than your average counselor's. I left my executive job in 2022 after completing graduate studies and clinical training in psychology, relationships, authentic leadership, and behavior change.

Why Strength to Strength Counseling? In my philosophy of the therapy process, people already have many strengths and resources when they come into the counseling office for the first time. Stress and strain, loss and grief, trauma, sudden life-changes, relationship difficulties, coping challenges, and mental health issues can lead individuals and relationships to points of internal distress and external behaviors that can be disruptive, distressing and concerning to themselves and those around them. As a result, individual happiness, relationships, family life, work, and school performance may suffer.

*EVENING Appointments * Have you ever wondered what a psychologist does? You’re not alone! Broadly, psychologists help individuals improve emotional, physical, and social functioning.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have my Masters in Social Work from University of Texas at Arlington. I have worked in the field of mental health and as a therapist for 30 years. I am licensed in Arkansas and Tennessee. I work with adults of all ages and backgrounds who are experiencing difficulties such as difficulty coping, low self esteem, anxiety, grief and loss, and stress due to life transitions.

I am dedicated to helping my clients build bridges to a healthier, happier life. Are you going through a big change? Life calls us into constant change. Whether planned and joyful or unexpected and grief filled: changes in relationships; parenting; or career - they take their toll on each of us. Healing through grieving, stretching, adjusting, and growing can be blocked when you feel overwhelming emotions, when you are fearful and avoidant of what is to come, and when you simply don't know how to move ahead. I listen to, support, and teach my clients to help reduce anxiety, depression, and stress that comes with life transitions.

In today’s world, women and girls are faced with unimaginable stressors in everyday life — negative criticism from parents and friends about body image, anxiety and stress regarding world news, and difficulties relating to bullying, communication, and relationship difficulties on social media just to name a few.

Our goal is to open up a conversation for women and girls to speak freely and openly about their mental heath in a space that supports women.
