I received a Bachelor of Science degree from Southwestern Oklahoma State University followed by receiving my doctorate degree at Oklahoma University Health Science Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I then completed my OB/GYN residency at the University of Tennessee in Memphis. Since starting my practice in Conway as a board-certified Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2000, I have dedicated my career to providing comprehensive women’s healthcare across all stages of life. My areas of special interest include high-risk obstetrics, gyn surgery, infertility evaluation and treatment, and the management of perimenopause and menopause.


I provide comprehensive obstetric and gynecologic care including medical and surgical management of common and complex conditions. My surgical interests include minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, treatment of fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, adnexal masses, sterilization and hysterectomy, with a focus on maximizing patient outcomes and recovery.


I am passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate fertility challenges through thorough evaluation of ovulatory disorders, hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovarian syndrome (now known as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome), diminished ovarian reserve, recurrent pregnancy loss, and other factors that may impact conception. I enjoy partnering with patients to develop individualized treatment plans, coordinating care with reproductive endocrinology specialists when appropriate, and supporting patients throughout their fertility journey.


In addition, I have a strong interest in caring for women during the perimenopause and menopause transition. I work closely with patients to address symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood changes, brain fog, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, decreased libido, weight and metabolic concerns, and bone health. My approach emphasizes evidence-based treatment options, including hormone therapy when appropriate, as well as non-hormonal therapies, lifestyle interventions, and preventative care strategies designed to optimize long-term health and quality of life. I have loved building my career and raising my family in Arkansas. Caring for women in my community is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. I am also honored to serve as Medical Director of Life Choices Pregnancy Crisis Center, where I help support women with compassionate care, education, and resources during important life decisions. My commitment to women’s health extends beyond my practice and into the community I am privileged to serve.


My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized, and evidence-based care that empowers women to make informed decisions and thrive throughout every phase of their reproductive and hormonal health journey. With more than 25 years of clinical experience, I remain committed to helping patients achieve their health goals while fostering a trusting and collaborative relationship.
