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.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Conway, AR is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
