I'm a licensed therapist practicing in Arkansas and Missouri with extensive experience supporting adults through life's most challenging transitions. My work focuses on helping individuals navigate depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and self-esteem concerns, as well as addiction-related struggles and their underlying causes.
I specialize in addressing social anxiety, phobias, guilt, shame, and forgiveness work. I'm particularly skilled in supporting clients with mood disorders, midlife transitions, seasonal affective patterns, and process addictions. I also have deep experience working with military veterans and older adults, as well as those navigating codependency and control issues.
My approach is grounded in genuine respect for each person's values and worldview. I believe in meeting clients where they are—without judgment—and creating space for honest exploration of what's holding them back. I draw on evidence-based practices tailored to your unique needs and circumstances.
Whether you're facing a specific life challenge or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm here to support your journey toward greater peace and authenticity. I'm honored to walk alongside you in this process.
