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 grew up in a small town in Sod, WV on a farm surrounded my animals. It was truly my happy place. In 2020, my family made the move to Florida where we live now. While living in WV with the change of seasons was nice for a long time, moving closer to the beach had always been a dream of ours. Florida has been a great change. I have always wanted to help others navigate life’s ups and downs because we all have them. Counseling is a wonderful process designed to help individuals and couples work on what they feel is creating issues in their lives. As a counselor, I meet each client where they are and provide unconditional positive regard to each person. Counseling is a journey where each client must be willing to put in the work for progress to be made. I sometimes tell my clients, “If it were easy, everyone would be doing it”. However, making changes is difficult. I do think we can learn to tap into our strengths, alter our thinking about events and ultimately live a happier life. Supporting and helping each person be their best self, while witnessing it happen, is why I love my job. In counseling, I use SFBT, CBT, REBT, and creative interventions to name a few.

In the tradition of depth psychology, which incorporates the German forefathers of psychology— Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud— and how these theories matriculate in social, religious, cultural, and mythical aesthetics. Personally, I have integrated this psychological knowledge into my love and respect for indigenous cultures that have and continue to educate me as a therapist.
