When life gets hard, it may be easy to feel like an empty shell of yourself, often waiting for hope amid the weight of anxiety, depression, stress, & trauma making it an even heavier burden to manage the demands of daily life. Guided by the principles of community, commitment, and autonomy, my mission is to equip individuals with the tools needed to navigate their distinct life journeys, overcome challenges, and pursue their aspirations. I am dedicated to establishing a secure, nonjudgmental, & accepting environment where you are encouraged to embark on a journey of authentic self-discovery, skill enhancement, and individual growth.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Arizona and Louisiana with over 17 years of experience in trauma-informed psychotherapy. I earned my Master of Social Work from Tulane University in 2008 and have worked across inpatient and outpatient treatment settings, university counseling, grief and bereavement care, and trauma-focused programs. I am EMDR trained (finalizing certification) and integrate CBT, DBT, IFS-informed parts work, somatic approaches, and mindfulness-based therapies.
I specialize in complex PTSD, sexual trauma, religious and spiritual trauma, attachment wounds, ADHD, anxiety, and shame-based relational patterns. Many of the individuals I work with are high-functioning on the outside but feel lost, fragmented, or deeply self-critical on the inside.
Clients often describe me as warm, loving, affirming, and validating. I also bring a teacher’s heart into the room. I believe understanding how trauma impacts the nervous system, relationships, and even women’s biological health helps reduce shame and restore clarity. I see therapy as sacred work. You are not a diagnosis to me; you are a whole person whose nervous system learned to survive.
As a Board-Certified Psychologist, I specialize in providing therapy services to children, adolescents, parents, and families. Using evidence-based treatment (i.e. CBT) as the foundation, I tailor treatment to each individual or family.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Shreveport, LA
Finding family therapists in Shreveport starts with understanding what your family wants support with. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication challenges, and tension across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, training, and approaches that match what your family is navigating.
In a mid-size city like Shreveport, your options may include therapists with local offices and therapists who offer virtual sessions across Louisiana. In-person care may work well when everyone can attend from the same location, while virtual sessions may make scheduling easier when family members live in different places or have different routines. Session attendance can also vary, from the full family to smaller groups or individual members. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each therapist structures family sessions, communicates with family members, and approaches fit before you book.
Family counseling services in Shreveport can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and are accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
