Introduction

If anxiety or painful memories are weighing you down, you don’t have to face them alone. Over the years, I’ve walked alongside many people carrying the weight of trauma and anxiety. Some come to me exhausted by worry, indecision, or regret that keeps them from moving forward. Others feel burdened by painful memories that still linger, shaping how they see themselves and the world. Together, we work gently and steadily to loosen the grip of the past and to ultimately feel calmer, grounded and freer to live the life that you want. Licensed in both Arkansas and Illinois, I welcome clients statewide throughout AR and IL. I use a blend of Somatic Experiencing (SE) and CBT. SE helps you gently reconnect with your body and release the stress stored from difficult experiences, while CBT focuses on shifting unhelpful thought patterns that fuel worry or self-doubt. I care deeply about creating a safe, affirming space for the LGBTQIA+ community. Reaching out for therapy takes courage — and you don’t have to do this alone. If you feel ready to begin, you can call, email, or schedule an appointment now using the "Request Appointment" button above.
