A Path to Peace Therapy

04/10/2026

I am so grateful that life led me down the path of becoming a therapist. It’s literally the best job in the entire world and I have the best clients in the entire world. I am honored every single day to hear their stories and to continue trying to be a voice for every single survivor who hasn’t been able to have one. 🤍

In honor of March being Social Work month, I wanted to share my thoughts about social work and why I love what I do. Quite honestly prior to 2019, I had no idea what social work was and it wasn’t until a situation happened with a family member that I decided to go back to school to help those in a similar situation… well it just so happened that social work was the way to do that. Then fast forward to 2021 when I was interviewing for my internship placement for my advanced year with a domestic violence shelter… something I really had no idea about. Fast forward to 2026 and I am a private practice owner who specializes in working with survivors of domestic violence, I’m helping to put on educational events about domestic violence education, I went out on a whim contacting a world renowned therapist and now I’m helping plan how to make it happen and most recently, I’m now on the board of Freedom Finder. I always thought I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up, but turns out I grew up to be someone younger me never even knew was possible. This journey hasn’t been easy, pretty or perfect, but being a social worker HAS given me some of the most incredible knowledge, experience, education and opportunities I never even knew existed. One of the best parts about being a social worker is I can do micro social work with therapy and mezzo/macro work with the education and advocacy efforts. There aren’t many paths that allow someone to have what seems like at times 5 different jobs. And the cherry on top is now my political science brain and social work heart can work together to try to create ACTUAL systemic change. I don’t know if it’ll happen this year, in the next 5 years or even in my lifetime, but continuing to use my knowledge and expertise to be a voice for those who may otherwise not have one is well worth the attempt. Social work isn’t just a career, it’s a mindset, a way of living and it’s who I am at the core. Here’s to all the social workers out there, I know we don’t do this work to be recognized but just know, I see you, I hear you and I’m SO proud of you.

(And a huge thank you to Portraits by Jenn for believing in the work I do and gave me the opportunity to get some incredible professional headshots.)

Hey y’all!!! I wanted to remind everyone that TOMORROW Thursday, February 19th from 6-8 pm at Centerton City Courthouse, 220 Municpal Dr. Centerton, AR 72719, is the next FREE multidisciplinary workshop around violence and abuse. Throughout 2026, these monthly panels will center around the ins and outs of domestic violence education and advocacy. This one will focus on the ins and outs of the dynamics of the Power and Control Wheel. There will be some raffle prizes along with small snacks/drinks. The panel consists therapists, advocates, law enforcement, and more. This might be one of the most important workshops, in my opinion, because it allows for the myths about domestic violence and abuse to be debunked. The reality is, domestic violence is more than physical violence and our hope with these panels is to change how society looks at and handles survivors of domestic violence. 🤍

Ever wonder what your therapist does on random days off? Well this therapist took a trek through caves to find a Survivor Immunity Idol. 🤪 For those that don’t know, I’m a die hard fan & when I found out they were doing a hidden idol in all 50 states, I HAD to be there. Took my daughter since she was out of school and we found it. 🤗 *I have hidden my daughter’s face for privacy*

The first monthly workshop was a success. I am so eternally grateful that I have the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing effort to educate about domestic violence and advocate for survivors. Having prosecutors, law enforcement, advocates and a therapist on a panel talking about how to change the narrative, shift the power dynamic of reporting and understand what systems are starting to change or need to change in order to support survivors made my social worker heart so happy. Being a social worker means so much more to me than just being a therapist, it’s events like this that encompass everything that social work is about. I am so excited to participate in the next 11 workshops—and to be the one leading the next about the Power and Control Wheel + Cycle of Abuse. There is a news article that gotten published that I’m linking in the comments. 🤍

Hey y’all!!! I wanted to remind everyone that tomorrow, January 22nd from 6-8 pm at Centerton City Courthouse, is the first FREE multidisciplinary workshop around violence and abuse. Myself and the other panel members will being sharing information to help educate about the ins and outs of abuse and violence throughout 2026. This first one will be the foundation of understanding domestic violence/abuse and education about power and control. There will be some raffle prizes along with small snacks/drinks. The panel consists of a non-profit owner for DV/human trafficking survivors, myself (a therapist), a member of law enforcement and Washington and Benton County prosecutors. I am so nervous but also so excited to be a part of this opportunity. Here’s to trying to make a difference in ways other than inside a therapy office. 🤍

I’m so excited to see where 2026 takes this podcast, our advocacy efforts and so much more. Here is episode 2–I hope this episode offers insight, education and advocacy. I am so insanely thankful that I get the chance to be apart of something that has the potential to create systematic change. To survivors, never stop sharing your story. I will continue to fight for y’all’s voices to be heard and maybe someday that fight will lead to something powerful. 🤍
