With more than 25 years of experience in behavioral health, I specialize in working with professional women, caregivers, and healthcare professionals who are navigating burnout, life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and substance use recovery. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a background in substance use treatment, military social work, and medical social work with the Department of Veterans Affairs, I bring both clinical expertise and genuine lived experience to our work together.

I know firsthand how easy it is for women to lose themselves in the demands of work and family. As a retired VA social work supervisor, breast cancer survivor, and someone who has navigated burnout while caring for others, I bring deep empathy to every session — not just training. I provide virtual therapy, so you can access support from wherever feels most comfortable.

I am an LPC in the state of LA. I have a history of working with children, teens, and adults. My strengths are working with those who could use help with finding healthy coping skills, boundary setting, and face challenges with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, and Anger Management. I facilitate therapy using a Strengths-Based and CBT approach.
