After more than 20 years of working with children and families in the school system, I now offer my services virtually in order to reach and support more people. Over the years, my work has expanded to include concerns such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, stress management, life transitions, self-esteem, and other challenges that impact daily life. Navigating family and personal relationships is also a central focus of my therapy. My approach is creative, engaging, and intentionally different from traditional talk therapy. I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, empowered, and gently challenged to grow. Incorporating music, humor, and interactive activities can help reduce stress and make it easier to open up about difficult emotions. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to foster meaningful change within a welcoming, supportive environment.

I am a holistic therapist and spiritual healer who uses clinical counseling techniques. I am a Taurus Sun, Taurus Moon and Sagittarius Rising, so I bring the fire but in a controlled purposeful way. I am feisty and spicy, just like my sessions! I also, help people attain peace of mind. I focus on healing the inner child, along with providing the most appropriate coping skills that work best for you. I am a strong advocate for energy work and imagery to heal the trauma. This is not a structured therapy style. This is a Solution-Focused space. Over the course of our treatment, homework is assigned that you won't do four times in a row, then Baby Yoda, crystals, and our ancestors get involved, then you'll do the homework, healing will take place, and you'll say “I feel amazing,” and I'll say “Right?”

Hi there! I want to end the stigma associated with seeking help, especially with black and brown people. I have spent years working with adults, couples, and families- helping people reconnect with themselves and each other using a holistic strength based approach. Healing is about learning more about yourself, your needs, and what support you need with no judgement so that you can build the relationships and life that you want as an individual or as a couple. I hold a Ph.D. in Counselor Education, as well as I hold licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of Louisiana.

I approach therapy as a relational process, not a place where you come to be fixed. You’re not a problem to solve; you’re a person with a history, patterns that make sense, and a way of being in the world that developed for a reason. In our work together, we slow things down and get curious about what’s underneath the surface. I’m interested in who you are, not just what’s wrong. My goal is to create a space that feels real, thoughtful, and nonjudgmental, where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply and move toward something that feels more connected and meaningful.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting men, women, and couples through some of life’s most difficult and disorienting seasons, including chronic illness and autoimmune conditions resulting from perpetual stress. My work goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I take an integrative approach that considers the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Many of the struggles people face today—anxiety, relationship conflict, feeling stuck—aren’t just about thoughts. They are patterns held in the nervous system, shaped by past experiences, and often reinforced over time. In our work together, I help you understand what’s driving those patterns beneath the surface. We don’t just talk about change—we create it through a combination of insight, practical tools, and body-based strategies that help you regulate, process, and move forward. I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also work with couples who want to break unhealthy cycles and build a deeper connection. Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why they keep repeating the same patterns. Together, we create clarity, stability, and a path forward that feels grounded and sustainable. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. My goal is that you leave each session not just feeling supported—but with a clearer understanding of yourself and tangible steps toward real change. If integrating your faith is importan, we make sure that is apart of your plan, as well.

Frequently asked questions

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Louisiana. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Louisiana from Baton Rouge to Shreveport! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Louisiana.

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
