My name is Michele. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience. I am licensed in the state of Louisiana by the Louisiana State Board of Social Work Examiners. I grew up near the New Orleans area in a small town called Luling. I graduated from Nicholls State University in Thibodaux Louisiana and Tulane University in New Orleans.

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.

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.

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.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years experience in mental and behavioral health.

These include, but are not limited to CBT, Multisystemic Therapy, Child Parent Psychotherapy, Positive Parenting Program, and many others. I am also in pursuit of my doctoral degree with a focus on counseling psychology.
