Thank you for visiting my profile. I recognize counseling as a process in which the client and counselor develop a relationship to explore and define the client’s presenting problem. I believe it is essential for both parties to work as a team to examine client issues and to develop counseling goals to improve client welfare. It is my goal to create an environment, which provides warmth, genuineness, and understanding toward the client. Establishing and maintaining a rapport is essential for effective counseling to transpire. Trust and mutual respect are also needed components to enhance the counseling experience.

My focus is on working with individuals, children and adolescents who have experienced trauma.
Through my life experience and education I believe developing supportive relationships has the power to reduce the effects of trauma for a child, parents and families. I approach therapy sessions differently depending on the client’s needs and goals. If it is the client’s goal to work on a current obstacle in life or lifetime of trauma I see it as an honor to help the client navigate the process of healing. Allowing a safe space for people to explore their emotions and develop skills to create a congruent environment around them and navigate the unknowns in life.

My specialties are disruptive behaviors in children, adolescents, and adults that stem from ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, OCD, depression, and family strife.
I enjoy working with children and adults in a personalized approach tailored to each patient's unique situation. My theoretical background is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, play therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, but I pull from many sources in creating a treatment plan. I enjoy tackling diagnostic puzzles and working closely with patients and families to get to the bottom of what causes disruption in someone's life. Most consider me direct and no nonsense. I trained in Exposure Response Prevention for OCD treatment in both children and adults and enjoy these treatment challenges.

Play is the language of children and is a highly valuable tool in allowing them to express their own thoughts and feelings.
I have 22 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, & couples, addressing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, family issues, relationships, self-esteem, anger management, ADHD, personality disorder, behavioral challenges, etc. I strongly believe that counseling is a partnership between the therapist and the client, designed to arrive at the needed goals. Whereas the therapist has skills and training, the client is the expert on themselves and their families. Through working together with regard for the dignity and worth of each individual, challenges can be alleviated and strengths enhanced.

Do you function fairly well in most ways, but have some nagging issues (i.e. you struggle to trust, have a history of unhealthy or unsatisfying intimate relationships, trouble concentrating) that may be the result of past trauma? Do you want ways to process and heal that don't have to involve talking about the specifics of what happened to you? Do you have a child who needs some extra support navigating life changes (i.e. parents separated/divorced, school changes, moving homes, loss of loved one)? I have tools to address a number of issues that get in the way of better functioning and a more satisfying life.

My passion is to help children, adults and families who find themselves in a difficult place and need additional assistance to find balance and happiness.
I provide counseling services for children, adolescents, and adults in Houma, La. After graduating from my undergrad psychology program I invested several years working closely with the sheriff department and child protective services. I quickly realized I wanted to help on a deeper level than what I was able to do with the level of education I had. I decided to go back to school and received a masters degree in counseling. I am also a licensed counselor in Louisiana and Florida.

Sometimes we just need a band-aid to get us through a rough patch, and other times a deeper dive into long-standing patterns and struggles is the right focus - both are valid approaches! Choosing the right therapist is an important step, so let's chat about questions you might have and make sure you get the right fit. I work with individuals, couples, and children, and from time to time I also offer group workshops. I have specialized training in EMDR, Play Therapy, and have over a decade of clinical experience. I am currently an LPC Board-approved clinical supervisor as well as an adjunct professor in Loyola's Counseling program.
