I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Louisiana. I received my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Loyola University of New Orleans.
I have worked with individuals, families, and couples in different contexts of their lives. She has experience working with recovering addicts through a medication-assisted program, families with youth at risk of being put out of their homes, and youth in a juvenile facility. With these experiences, I have dealt with diagnoses such as substance use disorders, ADHD, ODD, DMDD, and MDD. I have a passion for systems and believes that my clients have the power to create the change in the system they deem problematic. I utilize reality and experiential therapy with my clients, ensuring the implementation of techniques and skills that they can relate to and use during their change and growth.
I am a Baton Rouge native married to my college sweetheart. They have two children and two dogs together. During my spare time, I volunteers at her church with the media team. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and impacting the lives of others through empathy and support. I believe that helping goes beyond my profession and make it my mission to be the change I want to see in the world through service to others in need.
