Therapists vary by personality, experience, and skill set, so finding the right fit is essential. I’m always available for a free phone consultation to make sure I can provide the help you’re looking for and answer any questions you may have.
I work with adult individuals from a trauma-informed perspective. I use concepts from attachment theory and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; I’m also a certified EMDR therapist. It’s my job to ask questions and make observations designed to help you examine your thoughts, feelings, and core beliefs. Increasing self-awareness and understanding how your past has influenced your present allows you to make positive and meaningful change.
Most clients start with weekly sessions, but we can meet more or less frequently depending on your level of distress, your treatment goals, and your schedule.
Of note, I consider myself a secular therapist. While I welcome clients of any (or no) faith, my therapy practice is based on applicable evidence based research, not religion.
Trauma occurs when our brain and nervous system’s ability to cope is overwhelmed. When a distressing experience results in trauma, our sense of self and safety is altered. This leads to a struggle to feel safe in our bodies and regulate our emotions, negatively impacting our relationships and overall functioning.
I am dedicated to treating any post traumatic injury, with a special interest in helping folks heal from narcissistic abuse. While there are many evidence based treatment options for trauma, I have chosen to use EMDR in my practice. If you are considering this therapy, I highly recommend Korn & Baldwin’s book Every Memory Deserves Respect: EMDR, the Proven Trauma Therapy with the Power to Heal.

I was born and raised in Little Rock, but I’ve called NWA home since 2013. I live in Fayetteville with my fur babies; my son is a freshman at U of A, and my daughter is living her best life out in Boulder, CO. I’m an extrovert who loves books, music, good food, and flea markets. I don’t love cooking, math, or exercise.
After decades in the field, I am still passionate about mental health care. I’ve practiced therapy in community mental health, employee assistance, and inpatient settings. I’ve also enjoyed serving as a field instructor for MSW students. I make it a priority to stay up to date on best practices and resources I can pass along to my clients.
Of note, I consider myself a secular therapist. While I welcome clients of any (or no) faith, my therapy practice is based on applicable evidence based research, not religion.
