Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Louisiana and the State of Florida. I have worked with Marriage and Family for 13 years, Substance Abuse/Mental Health for 10 years. I have worked with clients with concerns such as depression, anxiety and anger to name a few. I am here to listen to you and offer guidance when you decide you are in need of help finding the next right thing to do. I believe your wellbeing should be controlled by you.

My approach to therapy

My counseling approach is eclectic using evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Psychoeducation to name a few.

What you can expect from me

I want every client to know they are safe and they're important. They are heard and they're in control of their therapy. I am there to support them as they work through their unique and specific challenges and concerns. At the end of our journey together, I want my clients to have confidence they can have a happy, healthy, content life.
