I believe all people have the capacity to live well and create the solutions they seek. My role as a counselor is to hold the light as you find your own way.

I do that by creating a warm, judgment-free space to be seen and heard, accepted and respected, challenged and nurtured. Together, we make sense of thoughts and feelings through conversation, creative expression and sandtray, and through the natural world right outside my office door. I’m also trained in EMDR, an approach that helps people heal from painful experiences that still have a hold on them.

I spent 14 years working with teens as a teacher and school counselor. Being a mother and educator gave me a down-to-earth relatability and a fervent dedication to advocating for my clients.

While teens and adults are my focus, I work with clients from seven to seventy and beyond, with a wide range of needs. These include anxiety, grief, life transitions, school-related issues, parenting stress, and other life events.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana, a National Certified Counselor (NCC), and an Internationally Credentialed Sandtray Therapist (ICST), with additional training in play therapy and solution-focused brief therapy.
