Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m a trauma-certified therapist who specializes in helping children, teens, and adults heal from early wounds, navigate life transitions, and build healthier relationships. With advanced training in play therapy and trauma care, I work closely with foster and adoptive families, CPS, and school systems to support kids ages 6 and up.

My approach to therapy

Whether you’re working to break free from substance use patterns, struggling with depression, or adjusting to life as a new mom, I’m here to provide compassionate, practical support. If you feel stuck, emotionally drained, or caught in cycles of self-doubt or people pleasing, I help clients reconnect with their strengths and build a healthier, more grounded version of themselves. Licensed to provide therapy in Louisiana (in-person & virtual) and Texas (virtual only). Offering secure video sessions for clients across both states.

What you can expect from me

I believe healing happens when you feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment. Together, we’ll create a space where you can explore what’s weighing you down, learn effective coping skills, and move toward lasting change. If you're ready to reclaim your confidence, break free from old patterns, or simply feel more like yourself again, I’m here to help.
