About Morgan
I grew up in Lockesburg, Arkansas—a town so small, if you blinked you might miss it (population: about 500, give or take a stray dog). Being an only child in a place where everyone knew your name (and your business) taught me how to observe, listen, and read between the lines. It also made me the kind of person who really gets what it means to feel a little different—and the power of finding someone who sees you as you are.
These days, I work as a correctional counselor in a maximum-security men’s prison, sitting with people in some of the most difficult and defining moments of their lives. I came to this field through a love of learning and a drive to help people feel less alone in their struggle. No matter how rough someone’s past looks, I believe healing is always possible—with the right support and a little humor along the way.
My counseling style is laid-back, blunt, and unfiltered—but never unkind. Think of me as the friend who’ll lovingly call you out, sit with your hardest feelings, and crack a joke just when you need it most. I bring an eccentric vibe to my work (black is basically my neutral), and I aim to create a space that feels less like a stuffy office and more like a deep conversation with someone who gets it.
At home, I’m surrounded by the soft chaos of two dogs and a cat who basically run the place—and remind me daily what unconditional love (and selective hearing) looks like.
I want to be the person I needed when I was younger—real, grounded, and human. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just tired of trying to figure it out alone, I’m here. No judgment. No pretense. Just the work of being honest, healing what hurts, and finding a way forward—together.
Let’s get into it. Coffee optional.

"I have had many conversations with Morgan regarding my constant struggle with anxiety. Her natural warmness makes the conversations seem effortless and welcoming. I feel very relaxed and more prone to open up about topics I would usually be very reluctant to engage in conversation about."
Current inmate client
“I always feel like someone is actually listening when I talk to her. There is never any feeling of judgment and she always helps me work through each struggle at a comfortable pace”
Current inmate client
"Morgan truly listens, she hears you and helps you."
Morgan, the human
When she’s not with clients, she is at home in her impressive gaming room playing video games. She is always on the hunt to add to her many collections (Vincent Price, Rocky Horror, animal figures, tattoos…). She is currently reading Apothecary Diaries and always looking for new vegan restaurants to try.
