As a licensed mental health professional, I believe that prioritizing our mental and emotional well-being is the foundation of a sustainable and healthy life. Over the past ten years in this field, one thing I’ve consistently learned is that simply having someone to talk to can be one of the most challenging parts of the therapeutic process.

I am here to offer safety, empathy, and practical strategies that support you in thriving the way you desire

Reaching out for support can be a big step, and you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I believe therapy works best when we approach it as a collaboration. Your story is unique, and you are the expert in your own life.

I work with adolescents and adults who may be feeling overwhelmed by things like trauma, anxiety, stress, ADHD, or difficult life experiences. Together, we create a space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and begin exploring what healing and growth look like for you.

Clients often describe me as inquisitive, warm, and even a bit humorous, someone who helps them look at challenges from new perspectives while staying focused on solutions.

Psychiatrist

Virtual • Louisiana


I’m a psychiatrist with more than 20 years of clinical experience, including work in outpatient mental health, inpatient psychiatry, and community-based care. I also completed fellowship training in child and adolescent psychiatry. After years in clinical practice, I now serve as a behavioral health medical director and am returning to patient care because I genuinely miss the connection and impact of working directly with patients. I bring a broad clinical perspective and a thoughtful, experienced approach to care.

Hello, thanks for stopping by. I’m here to offer a calm, compassionate space where you can finally start to feel understood. I know life can be complicated, especially when you're navigating Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, or Autism. My goal is to help you (or your child, age 5+) manage these challenges and discover a path toward feeling more at ease and confident.

What Makes Working With Me Different? My journey to becoming a counselor didn't start in an office; it started the day I was born. Growing up as one of eleven children, I was fortunate to have many siblings with special needs—including siblings with Autism, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety and Learning Disabilities. This taught me something invaluable: true, deep patience, kindness, and compassion.

For over 20 years, I honed this understanding as both a High School Counselor and Special Education teacher.

Since I offer teletherapy only, you can start your journey to feeling better from the comfort of your own home. Our first session together is simple: it’s all about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you here, your goals, and what a "good day" looks like for you. It’s a low-pressure conversation where you can feel safe and heard.

Ready to Connect?

I truly care about helping you feel your best, and I’ve got the patience and experience to see you through it. If you’re ready to start finding that inner calm, I encourage you to reach out.
