I am a dedicated and compassionate counselor with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Concordia University Wisconsin. I have experience working in substance abuse treatment, as well as providing individual and group therapy in both mental health clinic settings and public schools.
My clinical background includes supporting clients in diverse environments, where I have provided mental health services to individuals, adolescents, and groups. I am experienced in addressing substance use challenges alongside a range of mental health concerns.
My approach integrates evidence-based practices, including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.
With over 30 years of experience partnering with clients from all walks of life, I have learned one fundamental truth: the power to heal, grow, and transform already lives within you. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a certified Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), my goal is to help you tap into that potential. I don't believe therapy is something done to you it is a collaborative journey we take together. If you are ready to actively participate in your own growth, I am here to provide the expertise, tools, and unwavering support to help you succeed.
I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner serving people across Louisiana through telehealth, and I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, and multiple other mental health disorders. Empathy is at the core of everything I do — I genuinely want to see the people I work with have the best health outcomes possible, and that desire is what brought me to this field and keeps me invested in every patient I see. Outside of work, I'm usually cooking up something new (mostly grilling), spending time with family, or planning my next trip. Those moments of connection and rest matter to me, and they're a big part of what I want for the people I care for, too.

As a licensed mental health professional, I believe that prioritizing our mental and emotional well-being is the foundation of a sustainable and healthy life. Over the past ten years in this field, one thing I’ve consistently learned is that simply having someone to talk to can be one of the most challenging parts of the therapeutic process.
I am here to offer safety, empathy, and practical strategies that support you in thriving the way you desire
