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.

At some point, many people find themselves asking the same frustrating question: "How did I end up right back here again?"

The same arguments. The same habits. The same anxiety. The same relationship patterns. The same promises to yourself that this time would be different.

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted from carrying the weight of unresolved stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. Others feel stuck because they've gained insight into their struggles but haven't been able to create the lasting change they want.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience helping adults create meaningful, lasting change, my goal isn't just to help you understand yourself better. It's to help you recognize the patterns keeping you stuck, build practical skills that work in everyday life, and move toward the life you actually want to live.

If you’re here, you might be feeling weighed down by stress, sadness, or worry that seems hard to shake. On the outside you show up, get things done, and care for the people around you...but inside, it can feel heavy and exhausting. I want you to know you don’t have to carry that alone.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with over 15 years of experience. My background includes helping adults work through anxiety, depression, and the lingering effects of past hurts. My approach is supportive and down-to-earth: we’ll move at your pace, focusing on practical tools and new ways of thinking that can help you find balance, clarity, and peace.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe place where you are truly heard and understood. Together, we’ll work to uncover what’s been holding you back, strengthen your confidence, and build the life you want to live.
