Getting care for your mental health should feel like a step forward, not another obstacle. As a dual certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in Louisiana, I bring experience across both primary care and psychiatry so I can see the whole picture of your wellbeing. Whether you're working through anxiety, navigating mood challenges, or just figuring out where to start, I'll meet you where you are. My practice is fully telehealth, flexible, and designed around your schedule.
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.

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.
