Welcome! I'm an LCSW-BACS and Louisiana native who practices in both, Texas & Louisiana. I’ve worked with a variety of clinical presentations, in various clinical settings. I have experience working with children, youth, adults, veterans and families. The settings in which I’ve practiced include intense inpatient, clinic, substance use disorder treatment, mental health rehabilitation, correctional rehabilitation facility and school settings. I'm EMDR trained and a recently Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I collaboratively assist clients with improving their self-esteem and self-worth, processing trauma, managing depression and anxiety, challenging negative thought processes, emotion dysregulation, and processing symptoms of grief and mood disorders. This is a collaborative therapeutic process that allows fostering healthy intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships, resolving symptoms of grief and trauma, modifying negative internal narratives, managing anxiety and depression, decreasing emotion dysregulation and dissociating, and fostering one's sense of self. I've worked with adults, families and adolescents who experienced anxiety, depression, family transitions, trauma wounds, anxiety, low self-esteem, PTSD, LGTBQIA transitions, substance use, bipolar mood disorders, personality disorders and several other life challenges etc. I have been so honored to be present throughout my client's journeys of growth, if only to help unburden them from internal suffering. I strive to be both non-judgmental, and collaborative, while challenging those that fear based responses to the environment.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

You can expect to discuss goals, data gathering for diagnostic purposes, treatment objectives, and current challenges during intake. This initial session is for information gathering. The work starts during the following session, if necessary as assessments aren't concluded. 👇🏾 👇🏾 👇🏾 PLEASE SEE~> FOR SCHEDULING PURPOSES: Please schedule on the half hour (5:30-6:30 or 6:30-7:30). It would allow other clients their full hour. My availability starts at 5:30pm. Sessions are typically one-hour, unless there's a bit of overage, a crisis or EMDR sessions. I respect every client's allotted time. Please let me know if more time is needed so that I could schedule the last appointment, if available. I allot a 10-15 mins waiting period for ALL sessions, after that, sessions are deemed no-show. Thank you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My clients report that I give them this indescribable sense of safety, support and compassion, while simultaneously challenging them to foster behaviors conducive to the idealized version of themselves.
