Great to meet you!

I am the mother of two daughters, grandmother of five, and love to ride motorcycles. I have over 35 years of medical experience. I graduated from "Harvard on the Bayou", Nicholls State University, in Thibodaux, LA. I am Board Certified in Psychiatry, and my specific treatment areas are addiction/recovery, anxiety, depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, ADD/ADHD, Insomnia disorder, panic disorder, and PTSD. I am certified to treat all ages across the lifespan.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to care is to provide my patients with empathy, not only addressing mental health, but also considering the overall wellbeing, emotional state, and environmental factors.

What you can expect from our first session

My clients can expect a thorough evaluation that includes monitoring, reconciling medication and ensuring patients get the desired outcomes of newly prescribed medications. My clients can expect a thorough review of prescribed drugs and their possible side effects to create treatment plans and monitor their safety and efficacy. My clients can expect to receive excellent care, support and a better day.
