Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor
Are life challenges overwhelming you?
Everyday living can be stressful. Many times our mental and emotional health is put to the side.
Whether you are trying to navigate a specific problem or want to gain more insight into your emotional world, I want to provide a way to help you understand how you relate to yourself, your child, or world. I can help guide, collaborate, and develop tools with you for growth. We all need a place to vent to someone we trust. A place to feel heard and understood. And I would like to provide you that place.
Is your child struggling?
Children are experiencing things on a daily basis and as a parent you may not be sure how to help them. When kids are going through things, they may have stomachaches before school, act out at home, withdraw from others, throw tantrums, refuse to follow rules, have trouble sleeping, or behave differently from how they used to.
Have you already tried parenting self-help books, looking on Google for answers, and spending more time on Facebook parenting groups than you would like to admit? Do you feel exhausted from trying all of the things you read and nothing feels like it is working?
I can work with you and your child to understand what is behind these behaviors, navigate your child’s big emotions, and equip them with strategies for success. I can help to give you the tools you need to direct your child’s behaviors so you can experience the ease and confidence that comes with parenting a child who is emotionally regulated, listens to you, and understands the rules. I am excited to work with you and your child develop a positive outlook on life and a peaceful environment.

about me
I am a Central Louisiana native. Around 14 years old, I decided I was going to be a counselor. I enjoy listening to people and trying to help others. I spent some time in addictions counseling before finding my true calling in mental health. My first job was working with children and I have never looked back. I truly enjoy working with children and adolescents. I have spent many years working with children and adolescents with traumatic experiences and enjoy helping them find their way.
When I am away from helping others, I enjoy spending time with my family, my daughter, and fitness.
