Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


If you’re here, you might be feeling weighed down by stress, sadness, or worry that seems hard to shake. On the outside you show up, get things done, and care for the people around you...but inside, it can feel heavy and exhausting. I want you to know you don’t have to carry that alone.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with over 15 years of experience. My background includes helping adults work through anxiety, depression, and the lingering effects of past hurts. My approach is supportive and down-to-earth: we’ll move at your pace, focusing on practical tools and new ways of thinking that can help you find balance, clarity, and peace.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe place where you are truly heard and understood. Together, we’ll work to uncover what’s been holding you back, strengthen your confidence, and build the life you want to live.

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.
