Therapists in Louisiana

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in both Texas and Louisiana. I received my master’s in social work (clinical and mental health) from the University of Houston; my second master’s in clinical psychology from Walden University. I have been in the Helping Profession for 17 years. I help tweens, adolescents, young adults, and adults struggling with questions, thoughts, and behaviors they don’t understand and want some help unraveling their challenges.

I have over 18 years experience with a variety of age group, backgrounds, and culturally clients. I want to improve your quality of life. I have the privilege of working with a vast variety of people and enjoy the opportunity to improve their quality of life. I use an individualized approach with therapy. You will play an active role in your treatment.

I look forward to three things: meeting you, supporting you on your mental health journey, and eventually helping you feel ready to move on from therapy. Of course, if you’d like to continue with maintenance sessions, you’re always welcome to do so! Having an outlet and a safe place to vent will always be important. While I can't promise or guarantee specific outcomes, I want to assure you that I will be fully committed to doing my part as your therapist and accountability partner. So, to share a bit more about myself, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have the privilege of serving individuals in my home state of Pennsylvania, as well as in Louisiana, Oregon, Virginia, and West Virginia. Before I became a social worker, I worked in behavioral health and rehabilitation services, where I drew on my undergraduate degree in Administration of Justice. My focus was primarily on children and adolescents with behavioral challenges. I visited homes and schools, connecting directly with young people and their families and teachers. Those experiences were incredibly rewarding and really opened my eyes to the complexities that children and their parents or guardians face. Sometimes I'm asked why I chose to study criminal justice. Reflecting on it, I realize my passion has always centered around helping others who were navigating tough situations. I wanted to help children who might be at risk of entering the criminal justice system and support those who are trying to get back on their feet after their experiences with it. At one point, I considered working with youth on probation or those re-entering society after incarceration. Despite a different career path, my mission remains: to support those facing challenges and inspire positive change.
