Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Lake Charles, LA

After 27 years as a social worker, I still believe good therapy starts with really listening. I work with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, and the stress that comes with big life transitions. My years in community mental health taught me that care should feel accessible, not intimidating. I'd love to help you find steadier ground.

I help adolescents and adults who feel weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or depression—whether that comes from childhood abuse, military experiences, or the impact of a narcissistic parent, ex, or partner. I know how isolating that can be. In our work together, my priority is helping you feel truly seen, heard, and understood in a safe, confidential space where you can show up exactly as you are.

Therapy can be a powerful place to recenter, build skills, and dive deeper. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience supporting clients in a variety of settings, including schools and outpatient hospital clinics. Over the last 7 years, I have focused my work on adolescents and young adults ages 14–25 who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, school challenges, identity development, and the pressure of figuring out who they are and where they are headed. My goal is to provide a supportive and neuro-affirming space where you can better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and build skills that help you feel more grounded and confident!

I have over years of counseling experience, specializing in grief, bereavement, trauma, and PTSD. My journey in this field has given me a deep understanding of the complexities involved in processing loss and trauma. I am passionate about providing compassionate support to individuals navigating their unique experiences, and I approach each client with empathy and respect.

I believe in creating a safe space where you can share your thoughts and feelings openly. My goal is to empower you to explore your emotions, gain insights, and develop coping strategies tailored to your needs. Together, we can work through the challenges you face and support your healing journey.
