About
I provide inclusive, evidence-based mental health care grounded in empathy, respect, and collaboration.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 4 years of experience providing comprehensive mental health care across the lifespan. I specialize in psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and psychotherapy for conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, schizophrenia, conduct disorders, and insomnia. I focus on evidence-based treatment designed to reduce symptoms, improve functioning, and promote lasting emotional well-being in outpatient and telehealth settings.
I earned my Doctorate in Nursing from Arkansas State University. My approach combines clinical expertise with empathy to support individuals as they navigate life’s challenges. I tailor each treatment plan through careful evaluation, medication management, and therapy to help clients build resilience, balance, and overall well-being.
I understand the challenges of living with mental health conditions and strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel heard and supported. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care that encourages healing and growth, helping each person take meaningful steps toward recovery and emotional stability.

Eating disorder therapy is a specialized approach aimed at assisting those who are grappling with a range of eating disorders. These disorders are significant mental health conditions characterized by irregular or unhealthy eating patterns and an intense focus on body weight and shape. Common conditions addressed in Eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
At Thriveworks, Eating disorders begins with a thorough assessment and personalized treatment plan. Central to eating disorder therapy is psychotherapy, often employing cognitive behavioral therapy and other specialized techniques to target negative thought patterns.
The signs of an eating disorder can include:
CBT’s remission rate, according to some research, is generally between 50-30% for those seeking assistance for eating disorder symptoms.
The recovery rate for those seeking assistance with eating disorders depends entirely on the individual’s involvement in sessions, the severity of their symptoms, and their willingness to change their eating habits and relationship with food.
Eating disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of Eating disorders will vary from one person to the next, dependent on their specific needs. Your therapist can help to determine what might be most beneficial for you.
Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses that can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. They are often hidden due to shame and isolation but can have deadly consequences.

Eating disorders include bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder, diabulimia, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder. They are not just phases but are progressive and potentially deadly conditions. Early intervention can improve outcomes significantly.
