ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Mandeville, LA

Welcome to my page! I enjoy working with people to help them live happier, more fulfilling lives. I’ve worked in a variety of settings with a diverse range of clients and welcome people from all walks of life. I promise to give my best to each individual, starting with a thorough assessment and creating a detailed treatment plan guided by their needs. My counseling mantra is 'Nobody cares what you know until they know that you care."

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

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.

With over 20 years of professional experience in the field of mental health, I’m here to guide and support you on your journey to healing and self-discovery. As a licensed therapist, I provide compassionate and intuative care to clients in Louisiana and North Carolina, via telehealth.

Take that first step—let's explore how we can work together to create a brighter, more balanced future. When you’re ready, I’m here for you.

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.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 12 years of mental health nursing experience. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Herzing University. My areas of focus include mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, substance use disorders, and behavioral concerns.

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.

As a Board-Certified Psychologist, I specialize in providing therapy services to children, adolescents, parents, and families. Using evidence-based treatment (i.e. CBT) as the foundation, I tailor treatment to each individual or family.
