My passion is helping children and adolescents. I have over 12 years of experience as a counselor in Northwest Arkansas.

I provide a safe space for clients to process inner experiences and feelings through play, art, and other creative interventions. My practice specializes in treating children, adolescents, and their families. I use person-centered techniques, play and art interventions, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy to help client's reach their goals.
