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.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring nature, which keeps me grounded and balanced.

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. When people are able to identify at what point they stopped being an author in their lives, they can go back, pick up the pen, and begin re-writing their story. I bring an eclectic approach in moving us forward (EFT, DBT, CBT, among others) in consideration of identified goals. I specialize in aiding individuals/couples with perinatal struggles, including but not limited to infertility, traumatic birth, miscarriage, stillbirth, and post partum anxiety, depression, and psychosis.

“Nothing Is Impossible: the word itself says that I’m possible.“ Audrey Hepburn I am a northern native who committed to breaking down the stigma associated with mental health and minorities. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the medical field and noticed disparities and challenges that reinforced poor mental health. I firmly believe that with encouragement, patience and understanding we can all find our level of wellness. My commitment is in empowering and to value the individuality that diversity presents. My philosophy for helping is grounded in an integrative interactive approach to the therapeutic paradigm. I have a special interest in working with minorities and the LGBTQIA+ community to overcome the emotional trauma of inequality. I also work with foster and adopted families, and adopted adults. I also treat depression, anxiety, trauma and stress related feelings of unwellness.

As a Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience in the field of mental health, I am passionate about providing compassionate care and support to individuals facing a variety of challenges. Through my career, I have demonstrated a steadfast commitment to empowering clients to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and achieve their full potential. Over the course of my career, I have provided evidence-based therapies to clients of all ages, cultural backgrounds, and socioeconomic statuses. Specializations include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. The approach I take as a therapist is to use a variety of techniques, depending on the individual's needs. Some of the techniques I use in my approach as a therapist include cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and solution-focused therapy.

I primarily use CBT and Psychodynamic theory when working with clients. I believe in being very direct and blunt with clients as this will help them grow. I don't beat around the bush or allow clients to get away with self-deception and confront their irrational and dysfunctional belief systems. I am comfortable treating a variety of symptoms and conditions. I believe in creating a safe space for clients to express themselves however they need to. This encourages growth and trust in the therapeutic alliance. I encourage clients to set the goals they want to reach. This is their process. Wherever they want to go, I will help them get there. I tell my clients I am the car. They are the driver. We go to the destination they determine. The first session with me is information gathering so I will be asking a lot of questions and they will be doing most of the talking.
