MSW, LCSW, BACS
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, received my Master’s degree in Social Work from LSU in May 2015. I am committed to providing a safe place to help you walk through the challenges of life. I have experience working with adolescents and adults with trauma, depression, grief, and anxiety.
I have a passion for working with clients who have experienced trauma. I have experience in working with clients who have extensive childhood trauma as well as with clients who have experienced recent traumas such as a car accident or sudden loss of a loved one.
I am an EMDR trained and certified therapist. It is my goal to provide a safe, confidential atmosphere for you to support your journey to healing.
I am now offering EMDR extended sessions and intensives. Benefits for extended sessions and intensives are being able to heal more trauma in a shorter amount of time. Please reach out to schedule a consultation if you are interested in these services.
Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, grief, trauma, or any struggle life has thrown at you, taking the step to attend counseling is one of the bravest things you can do for yourself.
I look forward to being able to provide a comfortable atmosphere in which we can work together to meet your personal needs.
I provide individual counseling and counsel adults as well as adolescents ages 17 and older. On some occasions I am willing to see younger clients but must have a consultation with parent prior to scheduling to determine and assess needs and time availability.
