Trauma-Focused CBT Therapists in Louisiana

You wake up worried about the day ahead before you even get out of bed. At work, you're scared of making mistakes, it feels like everyone's waiting for you to mess up. When friends invite you out, you say “yes” but inside, you're nervous about going. At home, instead of relaxing, you keep thinking about awkward things you said or did, wondering what kind of impression you left on everyone. It feels like your brain won't turn off these thoughts that make you feel not good enough, and it's exhausting. These anxious thoughts are undercutting your confidence and affecting both your professional and personal relationships.

Welcome to my practice, CALM Therapy Group. I am a clinical social worker licensed in Indiana and Louisiana. I received my Bachelors degree at Purdue University and my Masters degree from IUPUI. I have worked in the behavioral health field for 25 years treating people with a variety of needs and conditions. I am an empathetic and genuine therapist who believes in the importance of maintaining a positive mindset. We all need someone to listen to us without judgement about our feelings, emotions, and past decisions. Life offers us a variety of challenges and we will work together on moving through them and understanding how our past experiences have affected us. I am a wife, mother of six, and understand the trials and tribulations of working full time and managing a household.

Welcome! I'm an LCSW-BACS and Louisiana native who practices in both, Texas & Louisiana. I’ve worked with a variety of clinical presentations, in various clinical settings. I have experience working with children, youth, adults, veterans and families. The settings in which I’ve practiced include intense inpatient, clinic, substance use disorder treatment, mental health rehabilitation, correctional rehabilitation facility and school settings. I'm EMDR trained and a recently Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I collaboratively assist clients with improving their self-esteem and self-worth, processing trauma, managing depression and anxiety, challenging negative thought processes, emotion dysregulation, and processing symptoms of grief and mood disorders. This is a collaborative therapeutic process that allows fostering healthy intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships, resolving symptoms of grief and trauma, modifying negative internal narratives, managing anxiety and depression, decreasing emotion dysregulation and dissociating, and fostering one's sense of self. I've worked with adults, families and adolescents who experienced anxiety, depression, family transitions, trauma wounds, anxiety, low self-esteem, PTSD, LGTBQIA transitions, substance use, bipolar mood disorders, personality disorders and several other life challenges etc. I have been so honored to be present throughout my client's journeys of growth, if only to help unburden them from internal suffering. I strive to be both non-judgmental, and collaborative, while challenging those that fear based responses to the environment.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Alexandria, Louisiana, with licenses in both Texas and Louisiana. My journey in counseling began in 2007 in administration at a chemical dependency organization, where I first saw the profound impact of professional support on individuals facing addiction. Inspired to help others in a more direct capacity, I returned to school and earned my Bachelor's in Social Work in 2011, followed by a Master's in Social Work in 2013. As a Licensed Addiction Counselor and LCSW, I bring over a decade of experience in helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, including addiction, depression, anxiety, and stress. My approach is grounded in empathy and empowerment, guiding clients toward positive transformation and emotional well-being.
