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 therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Arkansas

Finding a therapist in Arkansas starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Providers across the state specialize in a wide range of concerns — including anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, relationship challenges, and postpartum mental health. Whether you're in Little Rock, the Northwest Arkansas metro, or a smaller community, both in-person and virtual options can expand your choices. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or psychologist — whose experience and approach match your specific needs.

Therapy in Arkansas can vary in cost depending on your provider and insurance plan, but using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to keep sessions affordable. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see an estimated session cost before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, so you can confirm your coverage for your specific area and plan.

Once you've narrowed your options, reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style, specialties, and what a session with them looks like. Many providers on Headway also offer a free phone consultation, so you can see if it's a good fit before committing to an appointment.
