Not all therapy is created equal. Most therapy talks about change. The Center for Behavioral Fitness, the model and firm I created, builds it. I work at the intersection of neuroscience, movement, coaching, and behavior — because lasting health isn’t built on insight alone. It’s built on brain hygiene: daily habits and systems that rewire how you think, feel, and function. Think of it like dental hygiene for your brain. I’ve lived this model and guided hundreds to thrive. Behavioral Fitness isn’t from a classroom — it’s 20 years of research and clinical work. Ready to build? Get me in your corner.

This is a beginning; change is difficult. It's strength, not weakness, to seek help and make changes. Learning how to see our behaviors from a different perspective is valuable. Healing often comes through verbalizing our feelings. You will feel heard, respected, validated, receive constructive feedback and gain greater insight and understanding in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I focus on your strengths as a means to help facilitate change and promote independence. I am a very down-to-earth person and I am often told by my clients that it's easy to talk and relate to me.

I empower individuals to change their perceptions about issues that are unhealthy and assist them in facilitating positive change. I approach therapy with clients from a wellness model (having issues they need assistance managing) as opposed to a medical model (being broken and needing to be fixed). My favorite quote is from Alfred Adler in 1927, "The hardest thing for human beings to do is to know themselves and to change themselves." I enjoy helping clients gain insight that can be helpful to facilitate change in perceptions and ultimately in their lives. I have evening availability.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC-S
Audubon, New Orleans, LA 70118
Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed or disconnected? Some days feel more impossible than others when you consider everything on your list. You constantly battle the voice in your head that says you're never good enough. You're exhausted, yet you still put on a good face and put everyone and everything before yourself. Maybe it's the relationship, work, motherhood, or family but you often feel unseen, hopeless, insecure and unsatisfied in life. You worry that if you attempt a change you’ll for sure lose the little bit of love connection and sanity you have left. You feel out of control and need a sense of agency. I see you.

Every relationship is a mirror, reflecting what is unresolved, unspoken, or unhealed within us. As a systems-trained therapist with more than 20 years of experience working with individuals and couples, I help you see the patterns that shape your beliefs and behaviors, in your relationship with yourself and with others. Whether those patterns began in childhood or formed later in family, intimate, work, or community settings, we'll trace them with compassion so you can choose differently, heal deeply, and relate from a steadier self.

As humans, we are hardwired for connection. Reaching out when we are unsure who will meet us can be hard. Especially when we are carrying the weight of past hurts. That's why I strive to meet my clients with compassion and curiosity at every step of their unique and intuitive process toward becoming their most authentic selves. I believe that experience is our best teacher, and that you are the ultimate expert about your own life. I feel truly privileged to get to collaboratively and creatively explore new ways of being and being together with my clients. Where others may judge, instead we can celebrate what it means to be you.

New Orleans, LA 70118
Sometimes, life is like strolling down a one-of-a-kind path, packed with experiences and dreams that are all uniquely ours. It also is a road that can sometimes lead to burnout, self-doubt, and unique challenges. When it comes to therapy, it's clear that our journey to healing and self-discovery deserves a special touch. Our identities are complex and everyone deserves a therapist who not only understands mental health but also appreciates the specific needs that come with the uniqueness of our existence.

I prefer to work with folks craving deep, emotional change. It is essential that my clients are deeply committed to showing up for themselves & our sessions, & can trust themselves & the process enough to navigate internal, stormy terrain while simultaneously surrendering to rest & the blissful indulgence that occurs while contacting & remaining connected to the body. I educate all my clients on white supremacy culture and how immersion in this culture creates disembodiment. Folks who choose to work with me will heal & transform not only intra and interpersonal struggles, but ancestral & cultural trauma as well.

You have always been "the responsible one." You keep pushing yourself to excellence. But in your relationships? You make yourself smaller, minimizing your needs in the hope that, finally, you won't be "too much" for everyone else. But no matter how many hurdles you cross and how many achievements you make, that voice in your head keeps going. Shaming you. Criticizing you. You never feel "good enough." When will you be happy and content?
