Therapists in Sabine Parish, LA

A trusting therapist-client relationship empowers my clients to manage challenging life situations and align their values, goals, and vision with their lives. Therapy is interactive, and I provide challenges along with a unique understanding of each person's individual life and struggles. I believe in each client's individuality and therefore, do not stick with one theory or technique. Therapy is uniquely customized for each individual, couple, and family depending on needs and personalities.

Have you been struggling to make the progress you have been wanting? Are you dealing with barriers that seem to keep coming up? Perhaps it is time to stop facing these challenges alone. I see the therapeutic relationship as one that should grow and develop along healthy lines, where effort and intentionality are important and mistakes are learning opportunities to work on those life areas that are so often neglected, covered up or avoided all together. Maybe then some of those issues don't have to be so daunting.

Are you overwhelmed by worry and uncertainty and struggle with feeling at peace? Are you concerned that you will never experience happiness again because you have felt exhausted and depressed for so long? Do you feel that you and your partner are “just existing” and no longer share the connection you once had? If any of these questions are ones you can relate to, I want you to know that things can change.

I enjoy working with people of all ages, and especially teenagers. My goal is to help individuals, couples, and families find balance and harmony by building self-awareness, creating healthier and effective behaviors, and cultivating joy.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), certified by the Louisiana Board of Social Work Examiners. I specialize in providing assistance with addictions, co-occuring disorders, depression, PTSD, anxiety, parenting, anger management, children of divorce, trauma, domestic violence, grief, and behavioral difficulties. I also serve as a parent mediator. I believe that the holistic approach can empower individuals, couples, and families to overcome personal obstacles and improve relationships. I provide a warm, supportive, and accepting atmosphere conducive to personal growth and healing.

There are times when stress and painful circumstances overwhelm a person's capacity to function effectively. Often, such crises also provide opportunities to understand oneself, others, and the world more deeply. I believe the therapeutic relationship provides a healing environment through which to find understanding, along with symptom relief, improved relationships and functioning, and movement toward living life in a more purposeful and meaningful manner.

Life can be incredibly challenging. Often we have visions of the life we want to live, but we can't figure out why we're unable to realize our dreams. Better health, better relationships, increased stability, less worry, more happiness- all of these things can seem just outside of our reach. Life can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and I work with children and adults, including individuals, couples, and families. My clients may be sad, anxious, overwhelmed, confused or they may have experienced trauma in their life and when they come to therapy having a safe, accepting and validating space is of the utmost importance. I am a strengths-based therapist that meets clients where they are. I help clients with expectations and goals, and empower clients to enact change in their life.

I am a nationally certified counselor passionate about helping couples, families, and individuals heal and develop skills to cultivate growth in body, mind, and spirit. It is my desire to identify and apply the best suited evidence-based therapeutic practices to help clients move beyond what they are dealing with, to realize their full potential and inner strength. It is my belief each therapeutic session represents steps in a journey both the client and I are on in an effort to obtain self-care and well-being. My ultimate goal in this journey is to assist clients to overcome by building hope, recovery, and resilience.

Hey, you! Yes, You! If you’re feeling stressed out, can’t slow down, just lost a family member or pet, trying to understand “neurodivergence”, wanting to kick a bad habit, or feel overstimulated all the time, I would love to join your journey.

I facilitate sessions focusing on understanding, providing an environment of acceptance, warmth, and respect that helps guide clients through a process of self-awareness, growth, and change. I have extensive experience working with addiction and all of the underlying issues and with individuals and families with trauma related issues. My work in substance abuse has granted me the opportunity to work with a diverse group of clients suffering from stress, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and grief. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort and I encourage clients to communicate openly about what works best for them.

Do you or your child or teenager often feel stressed, fearful, or angry? Have trouble concentrating? Experience irritability, sadness, helplessness, guilt, or shame? Do you often find yourself withdrawing from the people and activities that are important to you? Would you like a supportive and safe environment where you can build trust and feel empowered?  A place where you are unconditionally accepted as you work through thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that keep you from fulfilling your goals.

In life things don’t always turn out the way we’d hoped. We didn’t get that degree we said we were going to get, marriage or relationships didn’t last, our loved ones passed away, and we just might feel stuck. How do we make sense of life again? How do we achieve our goals when they seem so out of reach? How do we create a happy life for ourselves.

As you face relationship troubles, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, or loss, you're looking for hope. I invite you to experience the deep healing, growth, and confidence my clients enjoy as they increase their self-awareness, overcome blocks caused by trauma, and build resilience during challenges. Your growth will result in expanded joy and satisfaction in life. If you need tools to enhance your well-being or revive relationships under stress, let's work together- individually, as a family, or as a couple. I will impart proven strategies to help you find healing and loving relationships.
