I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with Acadiana Counseling Connection located in downtown Lafayette. I’ve been practicing since 2018 and have worked with people from all walks of life—helping them manage anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and big life changes. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. Therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating. In fact, it can be one of the most empowering decisions you make for yourself. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just trying to figure things out, we’ll work together to help you move forward.

I’m very familiar with both emotional and behavioral concerns—especially when things feel complicated or layered.

Reaching out can be tough, but you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for a change, therapy can help you find clarity and confidence. I offer a safe, supportive space to explore what’s going on. If you're ready, I’m here to walk with you through it.

My approach is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, but I pull from other treatment styles too, depending on what works best for you. I keep things laid-back and casual - my goal is to make sessions feel as comfortable and easy as possible, while still helping you make real progress and feel better.
