As someone who has experienced depression and trauma, I genuinely care about helping those who struggle with similar experiences, feelings, and beliefs of healing.eee
Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Louisiana with over five years of experience as a clinician—and even more time spent working in the mental health field. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages. Many who struggled with PTSD and trauma, depression, OCD, anxiety, bipolar, and addiction. Many of the settings include psychiatric hospitals, intensive outpatient, community and private practice settings. I discovered my passion for counseling by witnessing the life-changing impact that feeling heard, supported, and truly understood can have.
Experiences such as the grief of losing a loved one, symptoms of depression that can lead to negative self-perceptions, or persistent worries associated with anxiety or OCD can leave us feeling stuck, replaying thoughts or moments over and over again. I utilize many cognitive behavioral and trauma-informed therapies to help foster awareness and empowerment.
I genuinely enjoy getting to know each client and collaborating with them to work toward their goals for therapy—whether it's to grow, change, or heal. I believe therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating; it can be a place of curiosity and insight. My goal is to support you in building resilience, gaining clarity, and creating lasting change in your life.

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Lafayette, LA can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Lafayette therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
Anxiety disorders are common and their symptoms can get in the way of normal activity and healthy relationships. They can cause you to miss out on opportunities and avoid risks that help you reach your goals.

When you’re ready to bring stability back into your life, the counselors, therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists at Thriveworks in Lafayette, LA are standing by to help at (337) 282-7978.
Anxiety can cause both physical and mental symptoms. These symptoms can arise gradually or be very acute. Feeling nervous, tense, or restless is common in most people who experience anxiety.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be time to consider anxiety counseling with a professional. Working with a counselor, therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist at Thriveworks in Lafayette, LA can help you reduce your anxiety and build a healthier, happier life.
Therapy for anxiety can include many different techniques, and your licensed therapist or counselor will create a treatment plan unique to your personal experience. Some forms of talk therapy used to reduce anxiety include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), interpersonal therapy, and exposure therapy.
Talk therapy often involves adjusting your thinking patterns so you’re able to perceive events in a less stressful way. It also teaches coping mechanisms to help you deal with those stressors when they inevitably come knocking. Often, these therapeutic techniques are paired with prescription medications, relaxation techniques, and other treatment options.
Talk therapy can be conducted in several different settings. You can choose to meet with your therapist in person or online. Sessions may also be conducted one-on-one, as a couple, or as a group or family. Both adults and children experience anxiety and can benefit from anxiety counseling.
