About Me
I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker whose philosophy is that every individual has the capacity to create a life that is meaningful and satisfying, in spite of the challenges they face. As a therapist, I believe that it takes courage to examine your innermost thoughts and feelings and reflect on why you do the things you do. It’s not an easy task, but it's necessary to become healthy. I want to help you achieve this. I don’t want to label or stigmatize anyone. I want to help people understand themselves so they can create lives that are more satisfying and meaningful. This is the mission that I have dedicated myself to.
I provide safety and compassion, but I do not coddle. I am deeply invested in helping you to live the life that you want, and I want you to contact me if this is the kind of help you are looking for.
I attended Louisiana State University where I earned a bachelor’s degree in Child & Family Studies and a master’s degree Social Work.
During my career I have worked in community mental health, hospitals, substance abuse programs, and forensics, and even though I primarily work in a private practice setting now, I am still passionate about macro-level issues that affect communities.
This work can be challenging, but I’ve learned that is a privilege to do work that requires me to constantly learn and grow as a person. I take my role as a therapist seriously, and for that reason I continue striving to be the best version of myself so that I can provide the best care for the people I serve.
