Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from New Orleans LA. I hold licenses in Louisiana, New Hampshire and New Mexico.

I provide therapy to adult clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, as well as challenges with self-esteem, confidence, and motivation.

I possess extensive experience in clinical social work specializing in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment and prevention of mental health challenges.

I've been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 20 years. I studied at Southern University at New Orleans, where I obtained a Masters in Social Work.

I'm an avid book club connoisseur and enjoys a cup of coffee while reading preferably on my patio.

My approach to therapy

My treatment approach to therapy is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Supportive Therapy, and Solution- Focus. Therapy.

My main goal for my clients are to build resilience, restore confidence, and transform pain into growth while embracing a hopeful, empowered future with the support of a therapist who understands their unique journey.

My unique view and experience using mindfulness practices enhance client-centered care by promoting empathy, attentiveness, and overall well being.

I have excelled in my practice because I have a blend of strong clinical skills and I am an active, caring and supportive listener.

What you can expect from me

I have worked for several mental health platforms as well as maintained a private practice.

I employ nurturing techniques to create a supportive, safe, and non judgmental environment fostering my clients’ well-being, emotional growth, and healthy development. This approach has been instrumental to my practice contributing to my clients’ success and progress.

I am inspired by the transformative power of hard work, the necessity of self-care and the practice of finding positives even in challenging times. I want that same inspiration to translate to my clients’ treatment.

If you are experiencing any struggles or simply want someone to chat with, please reach out via text or email.
