Professional Background & Experience:
I am a licensed therapist in Arkansas and Tennessee with over 10 years of professional experience. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals as they navigate complex issues such as addiction, trauma, abuse, grief, loss, and bipolar disorder. In addition, I have worked extensively with clients coping with significant life changes, providing them with the tools and support they need to move forward.
Therapeutic Approach:
I deeply believe that you are the expert of your own story. My role as a therapist is to guide and empower you, helping you unlock the strengths within yourself to overcome the challenges you face. Whether you’re struggling with a traumatic past, working through grief, or learning to cope with the complexities of bipolar disorder or life transitions, I will meet you where you are.
I understand that taking the first step toward seeking support takes immense courage, and I honor that bravery. Together, we will work towards uncovering your resilience and build strategies that align with your goals for a happier, more fulfilling life.
Empowerment & Support:
I aim to provide a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Healing is not a linear process, and facing setbacks is normal, but with support, you can create lasting change. I am here to offer guidance, insight, and encouragement as you take each step towards personal growth and well-being.
