Introduction

I am a firm believer that there is hope for better days and a better you! I would be honored to walk alongside you on that journey. My unique approach to counseling has been referred to as refreshing and encouraging by past clients. Together we will work using a collaborative approach to identify your strengths and create an individualized solution focused path forward. It is vital for me to do this by building trust and creating a safe/nonjudgmental environment. During our sessions you will be able to release, fill your toolbox, and develop strategies to begin taking steps forward! I have received specialized training from PSI to recognize and treat perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I see clients 14 and older via telehealth. I have over 18 years of experience as a social worker working with a variety of areas including but not limited to: • Anxiety • Depression • Life Transitions • Grief/Loss/End of Life • Perinatal Mental Health • Parenting/Single Parenting • Couples Therapy • Conflict Resolution/Anger Management • ADHD • Infertility • Children • Self-Esteem/Imposter Syndrome • Black Men/Fathers/Dads I received my Undergraduate degree in Psychology in 2005 (LSU), received my Master of Social Work 2007 (LSU), and recently successfully defended my dissertation (PhD) (LSU)
