Our Team

There are so many obstacles life can throw at you. It is exhausting, crippling, and overwhelming. It can leave you feeling like you are caught in a tidal wave and drowning. How do you get to a place where you feel like you can breathe again? Take my hand and let me help pull you out of the crashing waves. My ultimate goal as a therapist is to create a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to speak freely in. I believe in establishing caring, trustworthy relationships with my clients. Through love, compassion, and understanding we can work together to conquer the struggles that are impacting your life. You are not alone in this.

 

I have successfully obtained my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy and am currently working on my PhD in MFT. I am a trained Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist for levels 1 and 2 and will now be pursuing full certification. My systemic therapy of choice is the Virginia Satir Model. I assist individuals, couples, and families.

 

I am proud of you for taking these beginning steps to address your concerns. You are so much more than your depression, anxiety, trauma, and daily struggles. My hope is to help you see how truly amazing you are and what you can overcome. Let’s instill faith over fear – confidence over uncertainty – triumph over defeat. You can do this.

Life can throw all types of challenges at us that can be difficult to see through. When we feel overwhelmed, having a space of our own to talk openly with someone that listens without judgement can help us gain insight into the challenges we are facing and see things in a different way.

My therapeutic approach combines solution focused brief therapy and naraitive therapy to create an authentic, collaborative relationship with my clients. Every person faces different challenges in life and using a variety of techniques I focus on developing a path that fits each individual person for the direction they wish to grow.

I currently hold a Bachelors in Psychology and am in my second year of Graduate school in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Louisiana Monroe. I work with individuals, couples and families with a wide range of struggles including anxiety, depression, communication issues, marital problems, grief, loss and many others. I believe the client is the expert in their own life and I am simply a tool to help facilitate a healing process. I have a drive to help people see through the darkness life can create by fostering a safe environment built on trust, empathy and understanding.

Growth and change can be scary and painful, but we do not have to walk the path alone. We often hear the saying “look on the bright side,” but when you can’t see the light I will be here to sit with you in the dark until we find it together.

Seeking help can be a tough decision to make. I want to create a safe space for you to talk openly without judgement. I want you to feel heard and cared for. This may look different for different people and I am willing to adapt for your comfort level.

I have a heart for helping people and want to help you work towards the change, relief, and hope you are seeking. I believe that you are the expert of your life. This time is about you. I will be there to help you work through that process including all of the ups and downs. Life is tough sometimes, but you don’t have to go through those times alone. We will walk through this time together.

I currently have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and am now in the Marriage and Family Therapy Master’s Program at ULM. I work with individuals, couples, and families in a wide range of struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, and so much more.

No matter what brought you to this point, I want to take a moment to tell you that you are brave, and you are enough. You have made it this far, and that is no small feat. With that being said, I want to be here to help you take that next step, whatever that looks like for you. Whatever struggles you’re facing, you should not have to face them alone! Life is hard enough without us trying to bear that burden all on our own. Whether you’re feeling depressed, anxious, or you’re just in a tough season right now, I offer a range of therapeutic approaches to fit your needs. Everyone is different so your journey may not look like someone else’s, and that’s okay. I am here for you.

I have a B.A in Psychology and I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. After I graduate, I plan to work towards dual licensure as an LPC and an LMFT. I don’t believe therapy is a cure-all that will magically fix everything. I believe therapy is an instrument that can be very helpful when given the chance. My hope and my goal is to support my clients while giving them a safe space to heal, grow, and strive to be their best selves. I want you to feel good about yourself and your life. You deserve it.
