About
I always work with a servant's heart to embrace the uniqueness of each person and the challenges they face. “It is not the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out, it is the pebble in your shoe."
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience supporting children, adults, and families. I specialize in helping clients navigate trauma, mental illness, abuse, and behavior concerns. My goal is to create a safe and compassionate environment where clients feel understood, valued, and empowered to make meaningful change. I bring empathy, creativity, and collaboration into my sessions to meet each client where they are in their journey toward healing.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Boise State University. I use play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused techniques to guide growth and healing while remaining flexible in my approach. I enjoy incorporating art, music, and open-ended dialogue to promote self-awareness, problem-solving, and emotional expression.
Healing is a courageous journey, and I believe the act of caring itself is heroic. I invite you to take that step with me as we explore the process together. Whether you’re seeking clarity, growth, or relief from life’s challenges, I look forward to walking alongside you and supporting your transformation with compassion and purpose.

Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.
Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Maumelle, AR specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.
A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.
Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.
Psychiatric services at Thriveworks Maumelle can last for as little or as much time as the client needs to reach their treatment goals, whether that be a month or two or over the course of a year. Treatment length is heavily dependent on the condition(s) being treated, the course of treatment, and the client’s goals for treatment.
Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication and provide therapeutic treatment for anxiety, although not all psychiatrists offer therapy. At Thriveworks, medication management occurs via online psychiatry sessions.
Yes, Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans. We strive to make mental health care accessible and affordable for everyone.
Psychiatric nurse practitioners at Thriveworks in Maumelle, AR are highly trained to assess, diagnose, and treat individuals or families with both therapy and medication.
The medication they are able to prescribe helps to alleviate symptoms of mental health conditions and, in turn, enables individuals to better manage them. If you think you could benefit from psychiatry, reach out to Thriveworks in Maumelle today.
Many of our clients get the help they need with therapy alone, but some find medication to really help with the acute symptoms like panic, dread, helplessness, and hopelessness to name a few. Once these symptoms are under control, the client is typically able to work through the root causes with therapy.
In fact, studies show that therapy and medication together do far more than either option alone, especially in cases of severe anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and personality disorders.
Psychiatric nurse practitioners have the medical training and clinical background to help you determine if medication management is right for you. Thriveworks Counseling of Conway offers full spectrum behavioral health care for clients who may benefit from psychiatric medication as part of a structured mental health support plan.
At Thriveworks, you never have to wait for long periods of time to get an appointment. New clients often meet with their provider within the same week of scheduling.
If you’ve been considering medication management, now is the right time to schedule an appointment with a Thriveworks Maumelle psychiatric nurse practitioner! Call us at (501) 628-9066.
