About
I strive to help others find happiness and direction by using empathy and acceptance to assist the client in learning how to utilize the tools that they need to heal and find peace again.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 14 years of experience supporting adults, teens, and children through life’s challenges. I’ve worked in outpatient, short-term inpatient, and residential settings, and I have a particular passion for helping adults navigate the transitions that come with aging. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, and I strive to help my clients discover new perspectives, identify their goals, and take meaningful steps toward creating a more fulfilling life.
I earned my Master’s in Community Counseling from the University of Central Arkansas and hold certification in tech-assisted counseling. I use a client-centered approach to help individuals identify what they want to achieve and develop personalized plans to reach their goals, always honoring their autonomy and lived experience.
Life can be difficult, especially when faced with pain, loss, or unexpected change. I know the importance of having someone who listens without judgment and provides genuine support. I invite you to reach out so we can work together on building the clarity, healing, and strength needed to make your life what you want it to be.

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
Couples counseling can be helpful in many relationships, no matter the source of the difficulties. It can help identify the cause of the strain in your relationship.
Identifying the starting point of misunderstandings can help you to develop new ways of coping and interacting. If you’re looking for support in couples or relationship counseling, reach out to Thriveworks Conway to get started. Simply give us a call at (501) 406-0504 or book your first session online with one of our therapists today.
Relationship counseling at Thriveworks can help to address issues related to all types of situations, including:
Whatever the source of the problems in your relationship, help is available. It can be difficult to communicate your concerns to your partner. Oftentimes couples need professional help to learn how to interact in a healthy, positive way.
Harmful patterns of behavior that have been present for weeks, months, years, or even decades, are not easily broken, but change is possible. Couples counseling can teach both members of the relationship the tools necessary to break negative patterns of behavior and communication.
There are many methods for changing patterns of behavior in a relationship. Couples Counseling can give you the tools necessary to stop harmful interactions from happening, and can help create the framework for establishing loving, positive actions in their place.
Some of these ideas for change may include:
Does this sound overwhelming? It is hard for you to imagine your negative cycles of behavior changing? Do you feel unprepared to confront your partner or spouse with your concerns? Do you and your partner know you need help but have no idea where to turn?
You are not alone. Thriveworks Conway Counseling is ready to help you tackle the problems in your relationship, whether big or small. Call Thriveworks Conway at (501) 406-0504 to schedule your first session.
