I am a Doctor of Behavioral Health (DBH) and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Harvey, Louisiana, which is located only minutes outside of New Orleans. I have 10 plus years of experience as psychotherapist and life and wellness coach. I bring to the therapeutic relationship a broad range of behavioral, and mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues with self and others, women's issues, child and adolescent issues, grief and loss, life transitions and PTSD. I also specialize in working with women and girls who are survivors of sexual trauma and physical and emotional abuse.
My counseling approach employs empathy, active listening skills, compassion and unconditional warmth and positive regard throughout the therapeutic relationship. My treatment approach is person-centered and holistic. The treatment modalities I employ involve Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Integrative Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Trauma Informed Therapy,
The first step in your journey of finding healing, empowerment, peace, and a joyful life is having the courage to reach out to someone! I look forward to talking with you and being your guide to a healthier and happier you! Remember your trauma is not your fault and you are not what happened to you!!
