About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to providing a supportive, judgment-free space where individuals can navigate life’s challenges, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, and create meaningful change.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and finding the right therapist matters. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself, speak openly, and work through life’s challenges without fear of judgment.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing therapy to individuals in Louisiana, Texas, and Alabama. My approach is supportive, practical, and collaborative. I believe therapy should be more than simply talking about what is wrong. Together, we can identify patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen communication and boundaries, and work toward meaningful changes that carry over into your everyday life.
I work with adults and young adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, relationship and dating concerns, life transitions, stress, grief, self-esteem concerns, and difficulty managing emotions or navigating challenging situations. I also enjoy helping clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or simply know that something in their life needs to change but are not quite sure where to begin.
I understand that every client brings different experiences, values, and goals into therapy. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I work with you to determine what you need and what progress looks like for you. You can expect our sessions to include honest conversation, encouragement, practical strategies, and opportunities to build skills that you can use outside of the therapy room.
Whether you are working through a difficult season, trying to improve your relationships, or simply ready to invest in yourself, you do not have to figure everything out alone. I would be honored to support you as you take your next steps.
