You may have spent so much time surviving that you've forgotten what it feels like to truly feel at peace. Anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, anger, or painful life experiences can leave you emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, and wondering if things will ever get easier. You don't have to carry those burdens alone. I partner with individuals navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, stress management, and anger management so they can regain emotional balance, strengthen their relationships, and move forward with greater confidence and hope. Working with adolescents, adults, and seniors, I strive to create a compassionate, judgment free space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to create lasting change.

There are times in life when it feels like you're doing everything you're supposed to do, but somehow you're still exhausted, frustrated, disconnected, or stuck in the same patterns. You may be carrying stress, struggling in relationships, navigating depression, trying to be everything for everyone else, or realizing that the strategies that used to work for you simply aren't working anymore.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly a decade of experience working with adolescents and adults, I help clients move beyond simply surviving and begin creating meaningful change. Whether you're navigating depression, trauma, relationship challenges, family conflict, men's issues, grief, or major life transitions, we'll work together to understand what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that you can actually use outside of therapy.

I'm a therapist with a Master's degree from Nicholls State University, and I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, anger, grief, stress, and relationship or family challenges. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to figure it out alone anymore.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

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.
