About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice. I am physically located in Louisiana, and I am seeing patients through telehealth currently due to COVID-19. I am also licensed in Florida to provide telehealth to Florida residents (http://www.flhealthsource.gov). Prior to beginning my private practice, I had experience working as a social worker in an inpatient psychiatric facility, a neurological rehabilitation facility, a children's hospital emergency room, and in the public school system. 

​

My passion is to help others who are going through difficult times. I have been through a lot of things in life and have experienced family of origin dysfunction/issues, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, breast cancer, domestic violence, divorce, being a single mom, and the murder of my mother.

​

If you were to ask me if I would go through all of these things again to be where and who I am today, I would honestly say no. At times, my life was extremely difficult. However, I am a better, more empathetic person and counselor due to those life experiences. In almost every patient, I hear and can relate to what they are going through or have been through. It is so gratifying and fulfilling to me when I can help a client get through, deal with, or conquer their fears, doubts, anger, confusion, grief, hurt, etc.

​

I've had quite a few different jobs/careers prior to becoming a counselor. I never felt like I was in the right profession until I became a social worker. I know that I am in the right place and in the perfect profession for myself. More than that, I know that I can make a difference in others' lives who are in need of help with navigating through difficulties in their lives.
