You’re not going crazy—you’re doing the best you can under crazy circumstances.
If you’re reading this, you've already made the first step. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t even have to know exactly what you need yet. You just have to show up.
I offer compassionate, open-minded therapy in Louisiana and California, grounded in the belief that being able to say what’s really on your mind—without judgment—can bring relief and clarity. My goal is to understand the world from your perspective and work alongside you, as a team.
I want to help—and you don’t have to have the perfect words to get started.
I work with people who are moving through all kinds of hard, complicated moments: recovering from trauma, navigating toxic or abusive relationships, feeling anxious or depressed, or simply feeling stuck and ready for something to shift.
You don’t have to do any of this alone.
My role isn’t to judge or tell you what to do. It’s to listen, understand, and help you find your way back to yourself, at your own pace.
I’ll meet you exactly where you are, with openness, curiosity, and support.
If you’re ready, reach out by phone or email. I do my best to respond within 24 hours, and we can take it from there.
