Great to meet you!

I hold a Doctorate in Counseling Education and Supervision from the University of Holy Cross New Orleans. Over the past 11 years, I've worked in diverse settings, including community mental health centers, private practice and the justice system, which has enriched my experience in addressing a variety of mental health concerns.

My approach to therapy

I provide trauma-informed therapy in a supportive and safe space free of judgement and full of warmth and empathy. My approach recognizes the whole person and integrates evidence based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavior Therapy, Experiential and Mindfulness.

What you can expect from me

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when challenges like addiction, trauma, or anxiety take center stage. You don’t have to face it alone. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, gain insight, and build practical tools for lasting change. My work integrates restorative justice principles, cultural sensitivity, and a strength-based approach to help you not only heal, but thrive.
