Manifesting hope & living life with meaningfulness doesn't have to be journeyed alone! I have over 16 years of experience in individual and family therapy. I have experience with clients from diverse cultures, faith, life transition phases, and career backgrounds. I recognize the importance of meeting clients where they are and have seen success in ensuring that my treatment approach incorporates humility and being inquisitive about set-backs and progress. I incorporate humor when appropriate and may sometimes ask hard-questions when patterns of difficulty arise. I provide in-person sessions to clients in Georgia with office hours available on Monday, Friday and Saturday.

I am a LPC based out of New Orleans, LA with an emphasis working with individuals with PTSD, anxiety and depression and mood disorders with psychotic features. I am really efficient in helping individuals work through past trauma, and break current patterns that aren't working for them. I try my best to give hope to individuals and families who experience scary symptomatic periods. I understand on many levels the struggle of individuals who have been stigmatized and feel misunderstood due to their diagnosis.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) originally from Louisiana, now based in Tennessee. My career has primarily revolved around nurturing the social, emotional, and behavioral growth of children aged from birth to six years old. This involves collaborating with caregivers such as parents, grandparents, and teachers to address both the individual needs of the children and the emotional support required by the caregivers themselves. Parent counseling, behavioral coaching and educational consultation services for parents of children ages birth to six are also available to private pay clients. Understanding your family's goals and challenges, I can use my expertise as an educator and mental health consultant to assist in paving the way for your child's future success. Alongside my passion for early childhood development, I'm deeply invested in advocacy work, particularly for individuals with other or more diverse mental illness, including those who have been incarcerated or hospitalized. Working with such a diverse clientele has afforded me extensive experience with populations that are often misunderstood.
