Virtual & in-person • Russellville, AR


I specialize in mood disorders, anxiety, and chronic pain — and I bring the same compassionate curiosity to every client I work with. I understand that reaching out for help can feel scary. Many of my clients come in worried they won't be believed, or anxious about how they'll be perceived. I want you to know that you are safe here — your experience is valid, and you will never be judged. Outside of the clinic, you'll find me knitting or tending to my freshwater aquariums, which keeps me grounded and reminds me to appreciate the slow, steady work of growth.

When life gives you lemons...

My education gave me the tools to be a skilled clinician. But it was my own trauma that gave me the insight and depth I bring to this work. I know what it feels like to live in a body that doesn’t feel safe—to question everything, including yourself. I spent over a decade learning how to heal, reclaim my voice, and become the kind of guide I once needed.

In the midst of that long journey, I had a quiet moment of clarity: what I was going through wasn’t just about survival—it was about becoming someone who could walk with others through the dark. That experience grounds my work in both knowledge and deep compassion.

Learning to love the desert

I’ve come to believe that being lost isn’t a problem—it’s part of the path. Like La Loba, the mythical bone-gatherer who wanders the desert collecting what’s been buried and brings it back to life, I help others gather what they’ve lost along the way. That process is sacred, slow, and often surprising—but it’s how we come home to ourselves.

There are parts of you that haven’t died; they’ve just been waiting. And sometimes, when it all falls apart, that’s when the wild, wise parts of you rise again.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Little Rock

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Little Rock starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, gender identity, or something specific to your experience as an LGBTQIA+ person, a provider with affirming training can make a meaningful difference. Look for licensed professionals — such as LPCs, LCSWs, psychologists, or psychiatrists — who have specific experience supporting LGBTQIA+ clients and who create a space where your identity is respected, not questioned.

In a smaller metro area like Little Rock, the number of local affirming providers may feel limited compared to larger cities. Virtual sessions can expand your options significantly, connecting you with licensed providers across Arkansas who specialize in LGBTQIA+ care. Consider what matters most to you beyond specialty — whether that's a provider's therapeutic approach, their availability, or whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions.

Therapy in Little Rock can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
