I take a warm, nonjudgmental approach to therapy where you can feel safe, seen, and accepted as you are. I bring a calm presence, gentle humor, and deep care for people into the room. My faith is important to me and shapes the way I love and honor others, while always respecting your beliefs and values. I am trained in trauma work and draw from CBT, person centered therapy, mindfulness, and I am actively learning EMDR to better support healing.

Therapy isn't about fixing who you are. It's about understanding what's getting in your way. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, men's issues, or simply feeling stuck, we'll work together to identify patterns that are no longer serving you, build on your strengths, and create meaningful change that extends beyond our sessions.
With nearly a decade of experience working with adolescents and adults, I believe therapy should be practical, collaborative, and focused on helping you move forward. My goal isn't simply to help you feel better during our sessions, but to help you build the confidence, perspective, and practical tools you can use in everyday life. Whether you're navigating depression, trauma, relationship challenges, family conflict, grief, men's issues, or a major life transition, I'll help you better understand what's keeping you stuck while creating realistic strategies that support lasting growth.
I am a lifelong resident of South Louisiana. I received a BA in Anthropology from Northwestern State University in Natchitoches and Master’s in Social Work from LSU in 2010. I spent two years in England working in child protection before returning home. Though I consider my background in working with children and families, I currently enjoy helping clients of all ages facilitate the change that they desire to better their own lives. In 2016, I received my LCSW and began working in clinical practice.
My area of focus is individual therapy within the adolescent and adult population. My clients have described me as a calm and compassionate counselor. I have experience working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, mood instability or anger management.
