- LPC
As a licensed therapist in Louisiana, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients develop resilience and self-compassion while addressing challenges like depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.
I'm deeply committed to creating an affirming therapeutic space that honors each person's unique experiences and identities. My approach is particularly attuned to supporting individuals exploring self-love, managing isolation, addressing body image concerns, and working through women's health issues.
With a trauma-informed and person-centered perspective, I offer compassionate guidance for those experiencing chronic pain, processing significant life changes, or exploring diverse relationship structures. My goal is to empower clients to develop meaningful coping strategies and cultivate inner strength.
I believe in meeting each person exactly where they are, offering a supportive and non-judgmental environment for personal growth and healing. Whether you're struggling with emotional challenges or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm here to support your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
