If you are looking for a safe non-judgmental space where your preferences and pace will be honored, then read on. I believe it is possible to heal from past trauma and recover from eating disorders. However, I also believe healing requires more than just talk therapy.

I am Licensed Professional Counselor (7196) by the Louisiana Board of Examiners for Licensed Professional Counselors. I graduated from Southern University and A&M College with my master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017. I conduct the therapy I provide for my clients through morals and values of the Christian faith integrated with Cognitive-Behavior Therapy. Cognitive-Behavior Therapy is defined as challenging set beliefs and replacing those beliefs with more realistic beliefs. In result, it will promote adaptive behaviors within the client. I also integrate other theories in the therapy provided.

I work with adults, couples, children, and teenagers to help equip them with skills needed to thrive in life, and resolve conflict. As a parent and youth volunteer within the community, my heart is particularly for this young generation and the issues they face. Depression, anxiety, stress, and peer struggles threaten the emotional well-being of our kids. Sadly, suicide is now one of the leading causes of death for this age group. It’s imperative that our youth receive an outlet for their emotional stress and injury, and receive the coping skills to work through the obstacles they’ll face now and as adults.

Struggling? You deserve the peace that comes with understanding your own story and the relief of realizing you are no longer repeating the same patterns. Working with me, you will not get a therapist who just listens and nods. I am bold and authentic, and will be honest with you as we work together. I offer long term, slow paced, intentional work. Studies show that the single biggest predictor of successful therapeutic outcomes is simply the strength of the relationship between therapist and client. Therapy is not something that a therapist “does” to you, but rather is a co-created relationship build on mutual trust and respect.
