About Me
I work at Restored Life Counseling in Conway, AR and am very passionate about helping those I work with to have more fully engaged lives. I am deeply invested in creating a comforting, hopeful environment for my clients, in a world that is difficult to exist in. I believe our stories are vital to the healing of our hearts to be fully alive. I love to provide evidence-based treatments, especially EMDR, that have shown to be helpful but I also seeks to help people to fully heal in mind, body, and spirit. I have a particular passion for working with those who have been impacted by trauma. It is a great honor to be allowed to participate in this courageous work and see first-hand the beauty that can be created out of these dark places. I am married and have two boys. I enjoy cooking, reading, and being in nature.
