I received my Master of Social Work from Louisiana State University. I use a variety of evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, psychodynamic therapy, motivational interviewing, cultural competencies, and family systems.

I believe in empathy, effective communication, and acknowledging an individual’s dignity and self-worth are essential for therapeutic success. I want to continue to assist clients in reaching their highest potential to achieve better mental, physical, and social well-being.

I am a therapist that values culture, advocacy, families, relationships, self - care, and self-determination. I believe in creating a safe and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment, that focuses on being attentive to your concerns. I am open to feedback regards to improving your therapy experience.

I want to explore your: reasons for seeking therapy, the goals you want to accomplish, your life story, and past experiences with therapy. I want to empower individuals to have the ability to recognize their strengths and resilience to continue their therapeutic journey.
