Choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming, and reaching out for help is often one of the hardest parts of the process. I'm glad you're here. In my practice, I strive to create a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences while feeling genuinely heard and understood. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, my clients and I build insight into what they're experiencing while developing practical tools to help navigate life's challenges with greater confidence, resilience, and self-understanding.
With over 10 years of experience, I've worked in schools, community mental health, behavioral health hospitals, and private practice. I work with adults (18+) experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodivergence, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other challenges. My office is intentionally neurodivergent-affirming and person-centered.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana and Texas, a National Certified Counselor (NCC), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and certified to provide telehealth services. I am also trained in Brainspotting (level 1). If you're ready to begin your journey toward healing and growth, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

I don't believe therapy should feel like someone simply listening for fifty minutes. My goal is for you to leave every session feeling understood, with new insight into why you're experiencing what you are and practical tools you can begin using right away.

I tailor treatment to each individual's unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Therapy isn't about "fixing" you—it's about helping you better understand yourself, build on your existing strengths, and develop tools that allow you to move toward the life you want to live.
