You’ve been holding it down for everyone else, and now you’re realizing it’s time to show up for yourself. You’ve been waiting for something to shift for clarity, for peace, or just a moment that lets you breathe and feel like you’re finally okay. But instead, you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re carrying more than you can even name. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

ADHD, Anxiety, Burnout, Trauma, Chronic Illness, Relationship & Interpersonal Issues, LGBTQ plus Affirming Care.
I work best with adults who often feel like they are carrying a lot internally, even if things appear “fine” on the outside. Many are caring, responsible, and emotionally thoughtful individuals who are used to holding things together for others while quietly experiencing anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, or self-doubt. They may be navigating relationship stress, ADHD, trauma, or life transitions and are looking for a space to slow down, feel understood, and reconnect with themselves in a more grounded and supported way.

As a licensed Therapist in Arkansas, I specialize in anxiety, trauma informed, and faith-based therapy for women. I also work with Adolescents ages 15 and older.
Being passionate about people has put me in the position to see a variety of facets of life. I have seen pain and heartache. I have seen beautiful people sit in defeat and death. Death of dreams. Death of hope. Life has the ability to take our most precious resources and drain them. I have also felt the joy that comes from renewed hope. I want to partner with you as you seek out this hope and look for your beginning.

It is hard to see your child going through a tough time, even harder when you feel unable to help. Growing up can have many challenges (bullying, break ups, social media, big feelings, and school). This doesn’t include the challenges that you and your child may have experienced as a family: death/illness of a loved one, divorce, or a big move. I have been working with children/adolescents for over 10 years and have 3 children of my own. I am a licensed psychologist with both a clinical child and school psychology background which uniquely qualifies me to support you and your child during especially tough times.

Are you in need of some "Me Time"? Perhaps you are experiencing work-related stress, school-related stress, or increased responsibilities and conflicts within your family or social settings. Maybe you're a professional caregiver or family caregiver and trying to find a healthy work/life balance to decrease frustrations and burnout. No matter which category you fall into it can sometimes become overwhelming to say the least. You exert so much time and energy giving and being kind to others, which is great! I'm for it! But, listen up, "DON'T JUST BE KIND TO OTHERS, BE KIND TO YOURSELF"! In other words, self-care is important too.
