I believe that many of the patterns we carry into adulthood take root much earlier in life. How we learn to cope with stress, communicate emotions, and navigate challenges during childhood and adolescence shape how we function as adults. As a Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor (PLPC), I work with children, teenagers, and young adults to help them understand themselves better and develop healthier ways of managing anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, academic & career challenges and other stressors. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and action-oriented, incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and behavioral strategies to help clients recognize patterns, build practical skills, and develop healthier ways of moving forward. I'm currently accepting new clients and offer both in-person and telehealth sessions. I accept Aetna Better Health of Louisiana and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana insurance. If you're looking for support for a young person in your life, I'd welcome the opportunity to connect.
