About me
I am an award winning psychotherapist who specializes in working with teens and young adults struggling with various life problems.
I provide individual psychotherapy to teens and young adults in Louisiana under my "Thrive Program". Throughout my career I have been able to learn from some of the most highly regarded members of the mental health community, including Dr. Arwen Podesta; Dr. Gabor Mate; Dr. Jordan Peterson; Dr. Gerald Corey; Dr. William Bischoff; and Dr. Lane Pederson. I have been able to apply my knowledge to various disorders, including--but not limited to-- trauma, panic disorders, and major depressive disorders. I began my career focusing on those with panic disorders and self-harming behaviors, including non-suicidal self-injuries (NSSI) and for this reason I have become a staple in providing evidenced based and theoretical approaches to teens and young adults struggling to find inner peace in Louisiana. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with you.
