Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15+ years of providing services in Louisiana. I have been working in the mental health field for several years. My experience includes working with both adults and youth in outpatient settings.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I also work with individuals navigating stress, identity, and self-worth concerns.

My approach to therapy

I use a blend of evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. My therapeutic approach is compassionate and client-centered. My goal is to create a supportive space where we work collaboratively toward your growth and well-being.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect our sessions to be a supportive, nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, valued, and empowered. I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship rooted in trust and respect, where we can explore your challenges together at a pace that feels right for you.
