I believe it to be my mission helping and serving. My approach is client centered we start where you are. I am very laid-back and personable, I have forever been told how easy it is to talk to me, even prior to my chosen career! That’s a plus when you’re a therapist! I have some clients who simply need an ear and guidance. Others are eager to get to the cause of what prompted them to reach out. Either is great. I understand that some people need to vent and receive professional advice. I tell all of my clients you have inside you now everything you need to heal and progress. My job is to guide you on the journey in this process of self discovery and healing. I also tell my clients that I will work just as hard as you in doing this, but I will never work harder. This would cause more harm by handicapping them if others around never allow my clients to learn through experience, and rob my client of demonstrating to themselves the opportunity to see how capable they actually are. I have worked with many populations: adolescents, adults with variety of disorders/conditions. Such as mental health diagnosis like depression, bi polar, anxiety, and PTSD. For the last six years I have led our adolescent program. I'm very familiar with self harming behaviors, and have a knack of being able to reach them and slowly process into self love. I also have extensive experience with grief which may look different and feel different among different clients. Even those who believe that have mourned and grieved, but truly have not. I look forward to working with you and helping you along your specific path. My schedule is very flexible, as a I only work from home, virtually/remote. During therapy it will be common to give 'experiments' following a session. The purpose for this is taking from our sessions and applying what you learn to your 'real life' outside of one session weekly for an hour.

I provide people of all backgrounds with a grounded, nonjudgmental space to be genuine, slow down, and look honestly at who they are and how they arrived here. Therapy with me is not about fixing who you are—it’s about understanding yourself deeply enough to decide where growth is needed and what no longer fits your life today. As a licensed therapist in Louisiana and Texas, with over two decades of experience, I actively challenge clients in thoughtful, respectful ways to increase psychological flexibility. This includes learning how to reframe and reconstruct long-held viewpoints, examine patterns shaped by life history, and shift perspectives that may once have been protective but are no longer serving you. Your past matters—not as something to stay stuck in, but as a guide for recognizing what you are ready to keep, what needs to change, and what belongs in the archive rather than your present lifestyle. I believe meaningful change requires honest self-reflection and full acceptance of who you have been, without shame or avoidance. From that grounded place, we can identify your current stage of change, clarify what growth looks like for you now, and move intentionally toward it—whether that involves radical acceptance, empowered decision-making, or actively choosing a new direction. I work best with adults in their mid-twenties and older who are ready to engage thoughtfully in the therapeutic process. My clinical strengths include relationship dynamics, empowerment, identity development, perspective-shifting, and helping clients navigate periods of transition, breakthrough, or recalibration with clarity and purpose.
