Greetings! I'm an LCSW, currently holding licenses in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas, and I bring over a decade of professional experience to my practice. My expertise includes guiding clients through challenges related to grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, as well as helping them navigate significant life changes. I'm dedicated to treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Your journey toward a more fulfilling and joyful life starts with that courageous first step, and I'm here to provide the support you need. I'll tailor our conversations and treatment plans to address your unique and specific needs.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
As your therapist, our initial session will commence with concise introductions, followed by a focused exploration of the unique challenges or the motivations driving your decision to pursue therapy. This approach will serve as a catalyst for building a strong therapeutic relationship and lay the foundation for crafting a customized plan for our future sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Drawing from over a decade of professional experience, I view myself as a therapist capable of understanding your unique circumstances. I bring a strong educational background and practical expertise across various situations to our sessions. My empathetic disposition and well-refined skills empower me to help you identify the root causes of your challenges and craft a personalized strategy for achieving tangible and meaningful progress.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I have a deep appreciation for working with individuals who are actively striving for positive transformations in their lives. These individuals often find themselves in the pre-motivated or motivated stage, expressing a strong desire for change. They are keen to discover solutions and methods to enhance their well-being but may require the necessary guidance and tools to overcome feelings of being stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious when facing life's challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my clinical practice as a therapist, I have engaged in collaborative efforts with clients to assist them in identifying and reframing unconstructive thought patterns and cultivating more positive behaviors. CBT has proven to be successful in treating a range of mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and phobias by addressing the interplay between thoughts, emotions, and actions. Together with clients, I've supported goal setting, monitored their progress, and guided the implementation of cognitive and behavioral strategies to enhance emotional well-being and overall mental health.
Grief Therapy
In my role as a clinician, I've created a secure and empathetic space for clients to openly share their emotions, work through their grief, and cultivate constructive approaches to cope with and adjust to their loss. This has entailed conversations about the grief stages, reminiscing about memories, and acquiring practical coping techniques to navigate the mourning journey.
Motivational Interviewing
In my practical application of MI, I've conducted compassionate and non-confrontational dialogues, guiding clients to examine their mixed feelings about change and discover their intrinsic motivations to embrace healthier decisions. Through the use of open-ended queries, reflective listening, and positive affirmations, the therapist cooperates with the client to craft an individualized strategy for transformation, rendering MI especially impactful in addressing concerns like addiction and behavior modification.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In my clinical practice, I've involved clients in discussions aimed at helping them visualize a desired future and determine the necessary actions to achieve their objectives. This approach is typically brief and underscores the client's capacity to bring about positive change, rendering it effective for addressing various concerns, including relationship challenges and behavioral issues.
