I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) based in Louisiana, providing affirming, trauma-informed care to adolescents and adults. My work is rooted in creating a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where clients—especially those in the LGBTQ+ community—feel seen, heard, and supported exactly as they are.

I am committed to culturally competent, inclusive care and actively work to understand the unique challenges LGBTQ+ individuals may face, including identity exploration, family dynamics, stigma, minority stress, and co-occurring mental health or substance use concerns. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use, relationship concerns, and life transitions, always through a lens of affirmation and respect for identity.

My approach is collaborative and client-centered. I prioritize each client’s autonomy, values, and lived experience when developing treatment goals. I incorporate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and skills-based interventions, while ensuring care is tailored to each individual’s identity and needs.

I have experience working with diverse populations across community mental health and intensive outpatient settings and regularly engage in ongoing education to strengthen my competency in LGBTQ+ affirming care, trauma-informed practice, and inclusive language.

My goal is to provide a therapeutic environment where all clients feel empowered, supported, and confident in their ability to create meaningful, lasting change.
