About
From a holistic, nonjudgmental perspective, I provide individual and couples counseling, offering compassionate, personalized care through evidence-based techniques tailored to support self-growth and development.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through a wide range of life challenges. I provide general counseling services with a focus on depression, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, grief, stress management, anger management, self-esteem, men’s issues, parenting, marital counseling, and divorce-related concerns.
I earned my master’s degree in human services counseling from the University of New Orleans and hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Southeastern Louisiana University. I use an eclectic, client-centered approach, meeting clients where they are and tailoring therapeutic techniques to support growth, self-awareness, and recovery.
Taking the first step toward counseling can feel overwhelming, whether you are new to therapy or returning after a past experience. You deserve a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I offer a collaborative, engaging environment to help you move toward clarity, healing, and personal growth.

Eating disorder therapy is a specialized approach aimed at assisting those who are grappling with a range of eating disorders. These disorders are significant mental health conditions characterized by irregular or unhealthy eating patterns and an intense focus on body weight and shape. Common conditions addressed in Eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
At Thriveworks, Eating disorders begins with a thorough assessment and personalized treatment plan. Central to eating disorder therapy is psychotherapy, often employing cognitive behavioral therapy and other specialized techniques to target negative thought patterns.
The signs of an eating disorder can include:
CBT’s remission rate, according to some research, is generally between 50-30% for those seeking assistance for eating disorder symptoms.
The recovery rate for those seeking assistance with eating disorders depends entirely on the individual’s involvement in sessions, the severity of their symptoms, and their willingness to change their eating habits and relationship with food.
Eating disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of Eating disorders will vary from one person to the next, dependent on their specific needs. Your therapist can help to determine what might be most beneficial for you.
Eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia are serious psychiatric disorders with severe health consequences. These disorders can introduce significant physical risks and require both medical and psychological interventions for effective treatment.
At Thriveworks New Orleans, we provide holistic care to address the mental and physical harm caused by eating disorders. Reach out to our office at (504) 732-9138 to schedule your session today.
The development of eating disorders is often deeply personal, but mental health professionals generally recognize two categories of causes:
Eating disorders are not just phases; they are serious mental illnesses. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) outlines the criteria for diagnosing them.
Anorexia Nervosa:
Anorexia can lead to serious health issues, including low heart rate, anemia, low blood pressure, kidney damage, abnormal heartbeat, menstrual disruptions, heart failure, infertility, low white blood cell counts, endocrine disruptions, osteoporosis, and premature death.
Bulimia Nervosa:
Bulimia can cause health problems such as ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease, tooth decay, gastric rupture, constipation, kidney damage, electrolyte imbalance, and heart failure.
If you recognize any symptoms of bulimia or anorexia in yourself or a loved one, it’s important to seek professional help. Thriveworks New Orleans offers holistic and individualized care for those struggling with eating disorders.
