About me

As a licensed therapist in Louisiana, I bring 15 years of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.

I specialize in addressing communication difficulties, social anxiety, trauma recovery, and family relationship healing. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique journey, with particular sensitivity to Christian perspectives and conservative values.

My therapeutic work focuses on guiding individuals toward meaningful personal transformation—helping clients work through feelings of isolation, shame, and uncertainty while developing stronger coping strategies. I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their life purpose, process difficult experiences, and move toward emotional wellness.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I aim to provide thoughtful, empathetic support tailored to each client's specific needs and personal background. My goal is to walk alongside you as you develop resilience, insight, and hope.
