About the Therapist

Experience / Credentials

With an Education Specialist Degree from the University of Memphis, I have dedicated over 24 years to serving as an educator and school counselor, supporting students on their paths to success. Drawing from my experience as a classroom teacher, I have developed a well-rounded understanding of education and its impact on individuals. Throughout my career, I have gained valuable insights on how to support students, families and educators within the school community.

 

As a wife and mother of two adolescent children, I understand the complexities of family life and the unique challenges faced at different stages of development. I have now embraced a new chapter in private practice as a Professional Counselor, licensed by the Louisiana Board of Professional Counselors and certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors. I am also a Registered Play Therapist.

Specialties / Focus 

 

Specializing in play therapy, a powerful approach that allows individuals of all ages to express themselves and work through their emotions in a safe and creative manner, I also integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques to guide clients towards positive change and growth. I have a passion for working with children, teens, college students and adults of all ages on the following focus areas: 

 

Approach / Goals 

 

I understand that seeking therapy can be a challenge, particularly for busy working parents who face the demands of balancing work, family life, and relationships. In my practice, I strive to create a welcoming and compassionate environment where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported as they embark on their therapeutic journey.

 

With a warm and empathetic approach, I empower clients to take an active role in their healing process. Together, we explore practical strategies and solutions that promote well-being and resilience, fostering lasting positive change both individually and within relationships.

 

My goal is to be a trusted guide and ally for my clients, providing the guidance and care they need to achieve greater well-being and success in their lives.
