Best way to make an appointment is through my website. Hello, thank you for visiting my page. Therapy is a very intimate yet necessary process in order to change negative dynamics in life. I approach therapy through engagement and fostering relationships. My approach is conversational, positive, and process based. I cater to individuals struggling with the realities of their life. Whether its stress from work or relationships, bullying at school, trauma from assault, or anxiety from your environment; I will assist you with processing those issues while strengthening your esteem and perspective.

Everyone experiences challenges and transitions during life. Therapy allows an individual time to process these changes as well as learn alternative ways to address them. The therapeutic relationship is a collaborative approach in which the therapist and client explore and define problem situations and develop future goals.

This is a beginning; change is difficult. It's strength, not weakness, to seek help and make changes. Learning how to see our behaviors from a different perspective is valuable. Healing often comes through verbalizing our feelings. You will feel heard, respected, validated, receive constructive feedback and gain greater insight and understanding in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I focus on your strengths as a means to help facilitate change and promote independence. I am a very down-to-earth person and I am often told by my clients that it's easy to talk and relate to me.

Are you struggling to find your place in the world? It can be hard to find your place when everyone around you seems to have it all together.

If you are searching for better self-confidence and a more clear vision and goal-directed life, LaBrea has spent years helping teens and children become emotionally secure in their values and identity, and helping adults improve their cognitive abilities throughout their many life transitions.

Those who have a why to live can bear any how. Many of us are in some form of suffering, and this can derail us from a meaningful life. Learning how to live with our pain so as to gain purpose and meaning is a true endeavor. From a collaborative process, I help my clients to establish what purpose they seek and discover ways to validate our pain, learning to control rather than being controlled by our fears, depression, et cetera. Through therapeutic interventions, we can learn to accept how we think, feel, and act. Subsequently allowing us the opportunity to discover new areas for growth and healing..

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience in the State of Louisiana, and 2 years of experience working in the State of New Jersey (teletherapy).

I believe that everyone has the ability to change and become the best version of themselves.

Currently in private practice in both Louisiana and Rhode Island, I offer individual therapy and psychological assessment to adults. Whether you have a problem to solve, goals to achieve or need emotional support, therapy can offer a safe space for an individual to disclose information and receive supportive, non-judgmental feedback, while learning skills to improve yourself. I am best suited to help you with mood difficulties, such as depression; self-esteem and identity problems; stress and anxiety; substance abuse problems; employment struggles; and relationship problems.

This is your life and it matters. There is no need to suffer in silence. Seeking help is not a weakness; it is actually exercising your strength. Everyone experiences impasses at some point. It would be my pleasure to assist you in getting over the hurdles to achieve a better quality of life.

In addition to counseling, I enjoy teaching. In counseling I have the opportunity to teach my clients new skills to better their mental health. I believe that it is easier for individuals to learn about new information if it is presented in conjunction with something they already know. In line with this, I enjoy using pop culture in my therapy process. I have a blog focused on self-care using coping skills in conjunction with popular culture. Therapypopculture.com
