I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13+ years of experience. I am passionate about helping my clients work through life's many challenges, while offering an empathetic, non-judgmental ear, and helping individuals realize their full potential. I believe that everyone has the ability to change and become the best version of themselves. I am licensed in Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, and North Carolina.
My therapy style is a mix of cognitive behavioral, person-centered, and collaborative. I have experience working with clients with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, parenting, postpartum, relationship issues, family dynamics, stress, grief, LGBTQIA+ related struggles, living with HIV/AIDS, and cancer.
I provide therapy that is allied, and affirming to those in polyamorous or non-monogamous relationship structures, as well as therapy that is sex and kink positive. I meet all of my clients where they are in the healing process through a strengths-oriented framework. I am here when you are ready to begin your healing journey.
