From an early age, I knew I wanted a career that would make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. This passion led me to study psychological science, which eventually became my full-time profession. Now, as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both Arkansas and California, I am deeply committed to supporting the well-being of all my clients.

I genuinely care about each client I work with and dedicate myself to helping them find the answers they seek. Since 2009, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals, each navigating their own unique challenges. My approach to therapy is client-centered, offering guidance and support during difficult times while fostering healing and growth.

In our sessions, I will meet you where you are, focusing on what matters most to you. My current clients describe my therapeutic style as engaging, kind, and warm. When needed, I also incorporate a solution-focused approach to provide direction and clarity. Additionally, you have the option to receive support from Bella, my beloved therapy dog, who brings comfort and connection to the healing process.

Together, we will work to uncover your needs and develop coping skills, tools, and strategies for your overall health and well-being. My goal is to foster hope and create meaningful change, helping you move forward with strength and resilience.

I develop and implement the strategic plan and direction for Loving Life Counseling operations and programs, ensuring alignment with our mission and goals. Additionally, I oversee the organization’s performance and provide detailed reports to the board of directors.

I reviewed and documented calls and reports of child abuse and neglect, meticulously recording case details. I conducted thorough investigations into claims of abuse and neglect by performing interviews, inspections, and monitoring individuals involved, carefully documenting all findings and generating detailed case reports.

I provided individual and family counseling to families and youth in clinical settings, facilitated group therapy sessions at schools and juvenile detention centers, and collaborated on the trauma resolution team to support clients experiencing trauma-related symptoms.

I facilitated a day treatment program for adolescent boys and girls, providing individual and family counseling to support their needs. I collaborated closely with group home residential staff, educators, and social service organizations to ensure comprehensive care and effective support for families and youth.

I instructed students, facilitated classroom discussions, graded assignments, and developed engaging lesson plans. Additionally, I created and refined course curricula, mentored students, and delivered impactful course lectures.

Before transitioning to a full-time career in the mental health field, I held leadership roles with Fortune 500 companies and non-profits, where I specialized in creating, developing, and leading organizational change and employee development programs.
