My approach to counseling is holistic and based on the client's needs. I use methodology from humanistic psychology, person-centered therapy, psychodynamic theory and cognitive behavioral therapy. I help clients identify hidden strengths and discover obstacles to a more meaningful life. I work with the client on building an authentic therapeutic relationship where the client is seen as the expert in her/his own life. I do this in a compassionate, safe, and nonjudgmental process. I am effective in working with people who seek short-term, solution-focused therapy as well as longer-term therapeutic goals.

Everyone experiences challenges and transitions during life. Therapy allows an individual time to process these changes as well as learn alternative ways to address them. The therapeutic relationship is a collaborative approach in which the therapist and client explore and define problem situations and develop future goals.

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in New Orleans, LA. I am licensed and able to see Maine residents for therapy virtually as well. Working from a trauma-informed lens, I work to facilitate a collaborative and empowering approach to counseling. My theoretical approach stems from a radical social justice paradigm with the incorporation of liberation-based healing practices, expressive arts therapy, feminist, and relational-cultural theory. I work with both individuals and couples, offering a supportive space for personal and relational growth.

Come as you are...And let's make space for all pieces and parts of YOU that create your world. During many transitions in life, especially with becoming a parent/caregiver in a variety of ways - together, we can hold space for your struggles and growth, broaden your understanding of the bias we are constantly surrounded by and are dealing with and increase awareness of your own presence within your environment.

Reaching out for help can be an intimidating process, but therapy doesn't have to be scary. I work with individuals and families to help them identify the things that are going well in their lives and the things that they want to change. We collaborate together to make those changes a reality. I am here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you.

It takes courage to ask for help, especially from someone you don't know. The goal of this counseling relationship is to identify healthy behaviors that you choose to examine and to incorporate patterns of change into your life. I strive to create and maintain a therapeutic relationship that is accepting and empowering. Depression, anxiety and exhaustion can be consequences of unresolved conflict, painful loss, overthinking, worrying, procrastinating, people-pleasing, approval-seeking, and care-taking of those around you.

Guided by a relational/narrative approach to therapy with a systems lens, I view clients as emergent beings who come from communities and stories that can enliven or constrict their sense of self, safety, belonging, and freedom. In a society that encourages isolation and disconnection, I have seen the profound healing that can happen when people feel safe enough to be witnessed and explore through relationship. I work with people who struggle with painful pasts or parts of themselves and aim to create a space where people can move into greater relationship with themselves, their values, and desires.

Adults and adolescence who are seeking help with overcoming obstacles pertaining to anxiety. stress, burn out, or substance abuse.

Are you feeling like no one understands you, unable to effectively communicate your thoughts and feelings, and tired of faking it until you make it? Well, you've made the first step in the change process, asking for help. Therapy, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish your growth without destroying your roots. Choosing me as your therapist you'll get an experienced clinician. One who has worked with children, adolescents, and adults suffering with both mental health and addictive disorders. My knowledge of ASAM criteria, Trauma-focus- CBT, and CBT therapy, has led me to having great success in being a catalyst for change.

We all have problems, habits and "quirks" of personality and wonder sometimes when life gets rough, whether we need therapy or if it would be a good option. When life is getting on top of you, when you begin to feel strong emotions that you didn't know that you had, when you feel lost or hopeless or just want to reach your full potential, then give yourself a chance to seek a new solution. I can help. I believe that each individual is creative and unique and that there is no "one" way to be happy or live life. For New Orleans I offer virtual, telehealth appointments & EMDR and Gottman Relationship Counseling.

Are you experiencing circumstances, relationships, emotions or behaviors that make it difficult for you to enjoy life’s journey? Therapy provides you with a safe trusting environment in which you feel understood and challenged to explore underlying feelings and issues that interfere with personal fulfillment.

We all struggle throughout life and I was no exception. Acknowledging the struggle is a huge step towards success along with finding the right therapist. We only know what we were taught and how to react to situations from those who raised us. You deserve to be the best you possible and I am here to help you find that. Let me help you discover new ways to a happy and healthier life. I utilize an attachment framework derived from Emotionally Focused Therapy and Story Informed Trauma Therapy (SITT) to help my clients understand how they came to be who they are.

In a marble carving class my professor once explained “You don’t get to tell the marble what to do. If you embrace it in its natural state the marble will reveal its form to you.” Meaning, no matter how hard one tries with a chisel and hammer the natural properties of the material itself will determine how it can be formed. This is my approach to therapy. To accept each client exactly as they are and allow them the space to choose and direct their own growth.
