About
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen and understood, and I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where you can reconnect with yourself, work through life’s challenges, and develop the tools to move forward with greater confidence and selfawareness.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor serving Louisiana, specializing in supporting young adults and individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and social isolation. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and culturally responsive space where clients can feel understood, build self-awareness, develop effective coping skills, and create meaningful change. My goal is to meet each client where they are while helping them recognize their strengths and move toward greater resilience, confidence, and overall wellbeing.
I use an integrative, strengths-based approach that combines evidence-based techniques with genuine curiosity and compassion. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build practical coping skills, and develop greater self-awareness and emotional resilience. I tailor therapy to your needs while creating a space where you can feel safe, heard, and empowered to grow.
You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Wherever you are in your journey, you deserve a space where you feel heard, valued, and supported. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward healing and a life that feels more aligned with who you are. When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and take that first step.

Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in Baton Rouge have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Baton Rouge, LA offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
