I welcome the opportunity to meet and work with individuals and families in need of a little assistance or direction. Born and raised in south Louisiana, I earned my doctorate in Counseling Psychology (2014) and am registered with the Louisiana Licensed Professional Counselor’s Board of Examiners. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, and have experience with behavioral disorders, depression, anxiety, parenting skills and coping skills.
I approach counseling from a cognitive-behavioral perspective, where patterns of thoughts and actions are explored to better understand presenting problems and develop solutions. I strive to foster growth through a strong therapeutic relationship, which will be an enriching environment that provides acceptance, warmth, empathy, trust, and mutual respect. Through a collaborative effort, we will outline presenting problems and facilitate cognitive, emotional, and personal fulfillment.
