As a licensed therapist in Louisiana with over two decades of professional experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate issues related to self-esteem, stress, anxiety, and interpersonal dynamics.
I offer a compassionate, inclusive approach that addresses a wide range of personal experiences, including workplace challenges, relationship difficulties, and individual growth. My expertise spans supporting individuals through life stages with a particular focus on women's issues, Perinatal issues, men's issues, sexuality, and life transitions..
My therapeutic style emphasizes self-love, effective communication, and healing from challenging emotional experiences like guilt, shame, and feelings of isolation. I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their inner world, develop coping strategies, and work towards meaningful personal transformation.
Whether you're experiencing mood disorders, relationship concerns, or seeking guidance through significant life changes, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional insight.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
