20 years offering treatment
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), with 20 years of experience in mental health. I received a BSW from the University of Alabama, and graduated from Tulane University with an MSW. I have a wide array of experience treating diverse clients who are dealing with Anxiety/Depression, trauma, childhood abuse and neglect, co-dependency, attachment/intimacy, discrimination, gender identity, self esteem, parenting and more. While using traditional talk therapy, I also incorporate teaching and interactive cognitive restructuring into sessions. I commonly utilize breathe work and other non traditional techniques into therapy. I allow the client to guide the session and their own work, but do not hold back observations about client's thought patterns and potential for growth. I treat all clients with unconditional positive regard and allow them to adapt within their own limits and social dynamics. Clients should always feel as though they have learned skills relevant to daily life.

17 years offering treatment
I am licensed in Louisiana with 17 years of professional psychotherapy experience. Additionally, I have also been a board certified telemental health therapist for 3 years. I have experience in helping adult and adolescent clients with stress and anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. I also have experience working with concentration, memory and focus (adhd). My main therapeutic approach is the use of cognitive-behavioral theory, which focuses on changing beliefs and behaviors. I also use methods from a variety of other theories (i.e., Attachment-based, Gestalt, psychodynamic, existential, rational-emotive behavioral therapy, etc.) as they suit your needs. I possess and depend on qualities such as empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness. I believe the therapist-client relationship is a microcosm of the real world. The client’s ultimate goal is to be able to develop trust with me and generalize our interactions to other relationships they will develop and maintain throughout their lives. Seeking out therapy can be an overwhelming task in itself and admitting to needing support is key to building a strong foundation for making changes. I look forward to working together to meet your goals toward a more fulfilling life.
