(she/her)
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience. I’ve learned that while clinical tools are essential, they work best when delivered with warmth and empathy. I have a Master’s in Social Work from LSU (Geaux Tigers!). I spent the last eight years working extensively with the Veteran population. This experience deepened my expertise in trauma-focused, evidence-based care, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and many other protocols. I believe there is no one quite like you, so I keep my approach individualized to you, prioritizing our relationship as the foundation for growth. Whether you are navigating difficult life transitions or daily challenges, I am committed to a practical, solution-focused partnership that honors your unique story and helps you find your own rhythm.
In our first session, we will focus on building a comfortable connection while discussing your goals and what your life would look like if you were your best, most fulfilled self. This allows me to personalize a treatment plan specifically for you, ensuring you leave with a clear roadmap forward. It is a collaborative, supportive space designed to help you feel truly heard while setting the stage for deep insight.
I bring a unique blend of practical guidance and deeply personal connection to my sessions. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model, I draw from a variety of evidence-based techniques tailored to your unique daily life. My approach is grounded in a diverse decade of experience—spanning community mental health, nursing homes, the veteran community, and the justice system. This rich background has taught me that everyone's journey is different, equipping me to meet you exactly where you are with genuine compassion, real-world strategies, and a collaborative spirit.
My ideal clients are individuals navigating life’s major milestones and transitions, looking for practical tools to handle daily challenges. I am uniquely positioned to serve older adults, veterans, and mothers navigating the profound changes of the pregnant and postpartum periods. I’m deeply passionate about this work because I want people to feel heard, seen, and healed so they can become their best selves. Whether you are adapting to a new stage of life or working through the unique hurdles of early parenthood, you are a great fit if you value a down-to-earth relationship and are ready to partner together on real-world solutions. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start; you just need a desire to be met exactly where you are as we work toward your goals.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use my formal training from Veterans Affairs to provide an evidence-based approach that helps you master the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. In our work together, I help you identify and reframe the specific thought patterns that may be holding you back, giving you the clarity to look at challenges from a new perspective. By learning to name and understand your feelings, you can move through them with more ease rather than feeling overwhelmed by them. My goal is to empower you to choose behaviors that align with your personal values and move you closer to your life goals. This structured yet warm approach ensures that the strategies we develop are practical, effective, and tailored specifically to your daily reality.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you stop struggling with painful thoughts and feelings and instead focus on what truly matters to you, changing the question from "what's the matter with me" to "what matters to me?" By fostering psychological flexibility and mindfulness, I support you in accepting what is out of your control while committing to actions that enrich your life and align with your deepest values.
Compassion Focused
Compassion is the foundation of my practice, allowing me to build genuine connections where you feel truly seen and supported as we navigate the practical challenges of your daily life.
Eclectic
I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, tailoring my methods to fit your unique needs so we can find the practical, effective strategies that work best for your life.
Strength-Based
By focusing on the unique qualities and resilience you already possess, we work together to harness those internal assets as a foundation for navigating life's challenges with confidence.
