Couples therapists in Shreveport, LA

Hello! I have spent 4 years working in a clinical setting with all types of clients, specializing in mood disorders, PTSD, and individuals who have auditory and visual hallucinations. I try to demystify mental health and the stigmas surrounding it.

I believe everyone needs help from time to time.

I specialize in evening and weekend appointments. Later appointments are available, please request your needs.

I am a friendly goal-oriented therapist who believes strongly in positive self-reinforcement. I have a Master's degree from La Tech University with a background in private practice for over 20 years. I am Licensed in Louisiana and Texas as a professional counselor. I am also Licensed as a marriage and family therapist in Louisiana.

After more than 20 years of working with children and families in the school system, I now provide virtual therapy to reach and support more people navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, stress management challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Many of my clients struggle with emotional regulation, feeling overwhelmed, attention and focus concerns, family conflict, academic stress, or feeling stuck in patterns that impact daily life. Family dynamics and personal relationships are often at the heart of these challenges. My approach is creative, engaging, and intentionally different from traditional talk therapy. I incorporate music, humor, interactive exercises, and experiential techniques to help reduce anxiety, build coping skills, and make it easier to process difficult emotions in a supportive, welcoming space.

Life can feel overwhelming when challenges begin piling up faster than you can manage them. Whether you are struggling with substance use, ADHD, bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties, stress, or simply trying to navigate a difficult season of life, it can be hard to know where to start. When emotions are running high and solutions feel out of reach, therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain perspective, and begin moving forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Are you struggling with substance use, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, or noticing your relationships being impacted by stress or unhealthy patterns? You may feel stuck, out of control, or unsure how to make lasting changes. I work with adolescents and adults across Louisiana who are navigating addiction, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Whether you’re trying to regain control, rebuild trust, or break patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can help you move forward with clarity and stability.

I believe in empathy and taking a realistic but human approach to counseling. We all fight battles behind the scenes and are deserving of grace and humility.

I bring to my work both professional ( LCSW/ Social Work) training and decades of lived experience. As a first generation American who grew up on the Louisiana bayous, I have traveled widely through Europe, India and many other parts of the world immersing myself in diverse cultures, faiths, and perspectives. I am well versed in the arena of substance abuse and recovery work. I have supported people through the dying process, grief and loss; and, have helped many walk through their fears, their sense of hopelessness, despair and lack of purpose. I approach anxiety and depression holistically by focusing on the mind/ body/ spirit connection. My own journey has taught me that healing is always possible and that we are all WORKS IN PROGRESS.

Looking for someone who will truly listen? I believe everyone needs support, and I strive to be that steady presence in therapy. Clients often describe me as warm, open-minded, and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself.
