I specialize in helping my clients navigate challenging situations. From substance use disorders to grief, I've supported my clients in fostering effective communication and emotional expression. Sharing feelings openly and honestly is crucial for your well-being. Remember, transformation takes time, but there is always hope with hard work. You can move towards a more connected and hopeful future.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.
I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.
Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.
I graduated with a BS degree in Psychology at Louisiana State University. I have a Master's Degree from Southern University in Mental Health Counseling. I have over 27 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lafayette
Searching for therapists in Lafayette starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Lafayette therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Lafayette, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger metro areas, so virtual therapy can expand your choices across Louisiana. Some people prefer a nearby office in Lafayette, Broussard, Duson, or Scott, while others choose virtual sessions that fit more easily into their schedule. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and communicates with people they support.
Therapy in Lafayette can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Headway connects you with licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, with many accepting a wide range of insurance plans. You can filter by location, insurance, specialty, availability, and virtual or in-person care, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.
