I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience helping children, adolescents, young adults, and college students navigate life’s challenges. I work with clients facing anxiety, depression, loneliness, ADHD, relationship issues, life transitions, and parenting stress. I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel understood, valued, and empowered to begin their healing journey.

I earned my Doctorate in Counselor Education from the University of New Orleans. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and active listening. I draw from evidence-based practices to meet each client’s unique needs and believe a genuine connection is the foundation for lasting change.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I invite you to take the first step toward healing by reaching out. If we are a good fit, we will work together to create meaningful progress. If not, I encourage you to keep looking until you find the support that feels right for you.

I am a licensed professional counselor and clinical director with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their next steps, and who are seeking healing, clarity, and emotional stability. My goal is to provide a supportive, client-centered space where individuals can build coping skills, process challenges, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life.

I use a client-centered, trauma-informed approach integrating CBT, coping skills, and strengths-based techniques. I specialize in trauma, grief, and emotional regulation, helping clients build insight, develop healthy coping strategies, and feel empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.

You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone—I am here to support you with compassion, understanding, and practical tools for change. When you’re ready, I invite you to take that first step toward healing and becoming the best version of yourself.
