Helping people is my passion. I am easy to open up to and give individuals a safe place to share their past, present and hopes for the future. We don't all come into this world knowing everything and this is no different. I help people learn skills to transition from a place that may be unknown into a place where self-esteem and self-worth are their companions. Sometimes it is difficult to navigate the bumpy road and that's where I come in and help. Born and raised in Southwest Louisiana, I welcome people into therapy like a cup of coffee on a front porch. When I am not working, I enjoy Cajun cooking and taking care of my family.

I believe that people are born with enormous potential! That being said, sometimes situations occur in our lives which directly or indirectly impact the pace at which we may reach that potential.

I bring an eclectic approach in moving us forward (EFT, DBT, CBT, among others) in consideration of identified goals.
