As a therapist, I deeply value the time I spend with my clients and consider it an honor to walk alongside them in some of life’s most vulnerable moments. I believe healing happens in relationships built on trust, compassion, and authenticity, and I strive to create a safe, meaningful space where clients feel seen, supported, and understood. My work is rooted in helping individuals create a life worth living—one grounded in healing, connection, and self-understanding. I have a special passion for supporting women through life’s challenges, including the wounds we carry from childhood that continue to shape our relationships, self-worth, and emotional well-being. I practice through a trauma-informed lens and integrate somatic-based interventions, attachment theory, and parts work (IFS) to help clients better understand themselves, reconnect with their bodies, and move toward healing. I also incorporate mindfulness, holistic perspectives, mind-body awareness, and polyvagal-informed approaches to support nervous system regulation and emotional wellness. Beyond my role as a therapist, I am a mother, wife, sister, and daughter—roles that deeply shape the empathy and perspective I bring to my work. I find peace and restoration in the mountains, quiet moments, and the beauty of nature. These experiences continue to ground my belief in the importance of slowing down, reconnecting, and honoring the whole person in the healing process. I feel privileged to support clients as they navigate growth, healing, and the journey back to themselves.

I am a straight-forward but empathic therapist, who also appreciates the same from her clients. I also believe in the social work mission of starting where the client is, so sessions are based upon that analogy. I have experience in many areas, including hospital, foster care, group homes, forensics, Veterans, home health, etc. I received my Masters of Social Science Administration from Case Western Reserve Univerity, and my Doctorate of Psychology from California Southern University. Although I have a doctorate degree, my scope of practice does not fall under psychological testing, pharmacological practices, nor community services. I only do individual therapy so if you need case management (such as letters), family/couples therapy, psychologicial testing, or medication, please refer to those licensed or practicing in those areas.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Arkansas rather than a city like Little Rock?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Arkansas. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Arkansas from Fayetteville to Fort Smith! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Arkansas.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Military/Veterans?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Military/Veterans, is filtering therapists in Arkansas that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
