My Practice
I believe that developing a therapeutic relationship rooted in openness, vulnerability, and trust is essential to the therapeutic process. I strive to provide a comfortable and non-judgmental space for you to share your thoughts and feelings. Starting therapy can be challenging, and it requires courage. I am grateful to be a part of your journey towards self-acceptance and understanding. Many describe me as intentional, detail-oriented, and personable.
I utilize a variety of evidence-based therapy approaches, including but not limited to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Person-centered therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). My sessions are dynamic and tailored to meet individual needs.
My Experience
Since 2016, I have been working in the mental health field, serving individuals and families throughout Northwest Arkansas. I have experience across all age groups and in various settings, such as inpatient mental health, school-based services, collegiate mental health, crisis services, and hospice. A crucial aspect of my philosophy is having an intentional focus on working with a diverse array of clients to better understand the needs of my community. Before establishing my own practice, I spent two years in a group practice honing my clinical skill set.
My Education
I completed my bachelor's degree in psychology and my master's degree in social work at the University of Arkansas, right here in Fayetteville. I am licensed as an LCSW through the state of Arkansas. I consider myself to be a lifelong learner and I am always pursuing additional education to better serve my clients.
My Interests
Outside of my professional work, I love to travel, be outdoors, and spend quality time with friends and family. I consider my personal relationships to be the most important thing in my life. I'm also an enthusiast for arts and crafts, video games, camping, and ice hockey. Go Stars!
