New to Grow
Hi! I am a licensed counselor in Louisiana. I received my master's degree in Counseling in 2021. I have a passion for mental health and believe everyone should have access to services that are affordable. It takes strength to seek help, whether it's for something like life transitions to having trouble trusting others to severe trauma. No matter the challenge you face, you shouldn't have to do it on your own. I would love to be a part of your healing, personal growth, and journey!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our initial session, we will get to know one another and go over some of your therapy goals and what you would like to address. It is a good idea for me to get some information about your past experiences, family history, and and concerns. In addition, you can ask me any questions you may have regarding therapy or the informed consent.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I believe that being genuine caring and interested in what a client has to share is very important. I have been through many experiences in the past like many others share, and i believe this makes me able to relate to some of what you may be going through. I think support with understanding is a great factor in a therapeutic relationship.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I specialize in trauma and PTSD, depression, OCD and phobias, and addiction but have experience with many different mental health challenges and diagnoses in inpatient psychiatric and outpatient settings. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process between the client and the therapist. This means that whatever you feel most comfortable sharing or whichever life experience you want to begin addressing, is up to you and we will work through it together.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I love cognitive behavioral principles because they focus on addressing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and how they affect one another. CBT is versatile and can be effective for depression, trauma, regulating your emotions and mood swings and so much more.
