At some point, many people find themselves asking the same frustrating question: "How did I end up right back here again?"
The same arguments. The same habits. The same anxiety. The same relationship patterns. The same promises to yourself that this time would be different.
Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted from carrying the weight of unresolved stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. Others feel stuck because they've gained insight into their struggles but haven't been able to create the lasting change they want.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience helping adults create meaningful, lasting change, my goal isn't just to help you understand yourself better. It's to help you recognize the patterns keeping you stuck, build practical skills that work in everyday life, and move toward the life you actually want to live.
I've spent years meeting people where they are — literally going out into communities across Louisiana to provide psychiatric care. Now I'm channeling that same commitment into a private telehealth practice, where you can get the support you need from home. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, or PTSD, I offer a flexible, welcoming space for real, lasting progress. Evenings and weekends work for me — I built my schedule around people who can't step away from their day to get the help they deserve.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 12 years of mental health nursing experience. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Herzing University. My areas of focus include mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, substance use disorders, and behavioral concerns.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families through life’s challenges. I value authenticity and believe healing starts in a safe, trusting relationship. My goal is to offer a warm, down-to-earth space where you feel heard, understood, and encouraged to grow. If it’s important to you, I’m also glad to incorporate Christian faith into our work together.
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.
If you have been feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed by relationship or family conflict, or weighed down by grief, loss, or intimacy concerns, you do not have to carry it alone. For 35 years, I have helped people navigate these challenges, including military families facing active duty and retirement transitions. I also bring a strong sense of fairness that helps me connect with clients making sense of hurt and confusion.
Hello! I work with client's who struggle with anxiety, depression, substance use, stress, and etc. Over the past years I have developed my counseling skills to help others achieve their goals and needs they are wanting to accomplish in their counseling journey.
