I am a licensed professional counselor-supervisor and a registered play therapist-supervisor. I am currently accepting PLPCS and LPCAs for supervision in Louisiana and Texas. I'm also accepting clients with insurance in Louisiana and those paying out of pocket in Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. I specialize in working with the Queer community, BIPOC, survivors of trauma, those in polyamorous relationships, dealing with depression and anxiety, and those participating in sex work. I have sessions available on evenings, weekends, and virtually to accommodate work schedules and allow counseling to be a priority that you can keep.
The foundation of impactful counseling is the strong relationship between counselor and client. Together, we will design a personalized healing plan that addresses your unique needs and goals. This collaborative process empowers you to fully engage and make the most of our time together, guiding you toward meaningful change and being your best self.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is one of the leading techniques for dealing with past trauma and offers trauma-intensive services utilizing it. Let's take a weekend and work through what would take months to process!

Now offering Trauma Therapy Intensives. These are longer sessions that accelerate the therapy process. They are helpful for people who want to see results more quickly, are dealing with a big disruption in life, or can't attend therapy every week.
