About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker whose philosophy is that every individual has the capacity to create a life that is meaningful and satisfying, in spite of the challenges they face. As a therapist, I believe that it takes courage to examine your innermost thoughts and feelings and reflect on why you do the things you do. It’s not an easy task, but it's necessary to become the best version of yourself. My job is to help you achieve this.

I attended Louisiana State University where I earned a bachelor’s degree in Child & Family Studies and a master’s degree Social Work.

During my career I have worked in community mental health, hospitals, substance abuse programs, and forensics, and even though I primarily work in a private practice setting now, I am still passionate about macro-level issues that affect communities.

I work with individuals, couples and groups who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship issues.

I also help those who are going through challenging life transitions and may be wrestling with existential issues.

My practice is focused on more than just healing what hurts. Ultimately, my goal is to helping people create lives that are more satisfying, fulfilling, and meaningful. Lives that are freer and more authentic. Reach out if this is the kind of help you are looking for.
