Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor with 32 years of experience, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship struggles. My goal is to provide a space where you can speak openly, feel respected, and start working through what has been weighing on you. I believe therapy should take into account your life experiences, family dynamics, and the realities that affect how you respond to challenges, show up in the world, and show up for yourself. As a native of New Orleans, I understand the importance of culture, family, and lived experience in shaping how you see yourself, relate to others, and move through life.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is thoughtful, practical, and focused on helping you understand what is affecting your life. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and other effective approaches to help you work through trauma, PTSD, stress, relationship issues, and emotional struggles. I want to create a space where you feel comfortable being honest about what you are facing, while also helping you identify patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and move toward meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy, what has been weighing on you, and what you would like to work on. We may begin to work through some of your concerns, but this first session is about getting a clear understanding of where you are and where to begin. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard and respected, and with a clearer sense of what we will focus on moving forward.
