About
With 30 years of experience, I've learned that healing is never 'cookie-cutter.' I bring a warm, compassionate, and uniquely personal perspective to therapy, honoring the individuality of your story with the wisdom of a clinician, wife, and mother.
After many years in social work, I've come to believe that the most effective therapy doesn't come from a one-size-fits-all approach, but from meeting you exactly where you are. I believe in deeply individualized care, partnering with you to identify your goals and help you make rapid, meaningful progress. With a unique perspective shaped by my own journey through challenges and trauma, I offer an open-minded, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly understood and empowered to heal.
My approach is client-centered and eclectic—I tailor my methods to your unique needs rather than one fixed style. I draw on CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy and specialize in trauma-informed care and grief counseling. Whether processing trauma, facing a crisis, or adjusting to change, I'm here to create a space where you feel heard and empowered.
I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to act as a supportive guide on your journey toward healing. You've already shown immense strength by looking for support. Let's work together to build on that strength - I invite you to book your first appointment today and to begin the next chapter.

I believe in meeting you exactly where you are, honoring your strengths, and helping you move toward the life you desire.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 24 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, family conflict, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and strength-based, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. My work often includes strengthening communication, developing healthy coping strategies, and increasing insight into patterns that may be contributing to ongoing challenges.
I earned my master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from Touro University Worldwide. I use an integrated, solution-focused approach that blends practical skill-building with emotional support.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and you do not have to do it alone. I meet clients where they are and work collaboratively to set goals, build on strengths, and move toward healing at a pace that feels right for them. If you are ready to begin your journey, I would be honored to support you.

Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Lafayette, LA will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.
It is absolutely worth going to therapy for depression — depression counseling helps people better manage their symptoms and get back to living happier lives again.
Depression counseling works by helping people pinpoint life problems, distorted thought patterns, and other causes of their depression, then process and work through them in order to mitigate the negative effects those factors have on their lives.
Common signs of depression include:
Thriveworks depression counseling in Lafayette, LA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Depression counseling can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, dependent on the severity of one’s depression as well as their needs and preferences.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
While your first instinct may be to wait out your depression symptoms and let them pass, mental disorders are unlikely to go away on their own. If your symptoms interfere with your daily functioning and last for more than a few days, you might need help from a mental health professional.
Left untreated, depression symptoms can get worse over time, lead to more severe mental illness, and negatively affect your daily life. Attempting to mask or temporarily relieve your depression symptoms can lead to substance abuse or self-harm. You may begin to lose focus and perform poorly at work or school, or experience conflict in your personal relationships.
If you think you may be suffering from depression, a mental health professional at Thriveworks in Lafayette, LA can help you manage your symptoms and tackle the underlying causes so you can start feeling better.
When you are caught in the grips of a depressive disorder, you may experience mental, emotional, or physical evidence of your condition (or a combination of all three). Depressive disorders can quickly take over your daily life if they are not identified and promptly addressed.
There are several different forms of depression with a long list of potential symptoms. Each person may experience a different combination of psychological or physiological effects. That said, symptoms of depression may include any of the following:
If you have persistent or intense presentations of any of these symptoms, consider connecting with a therapist or counselor at Thriveworks in Lafayette, LA to determine whether you’re experiencing depression and what you can do about it.
Treating your depression or mood disorder is much easier to do without the help of a trained mental health professional. Therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and counselors are specially trained to treat postpartum depression, major depressive disorder, and other forms of depression.
Working with a licensed mental health professional can help you get the proper care you need to alleviate your symptoms and get your life back on track. Treatment for depression usually involves different types of talk therapy, including cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), or interpersonal therapy (IPT). Depending on the duration or severity of your symptoms, your provider may also recommend the addition of medication like antidepressants.
When you undergo counseling with a licensed Thriveworks professional, you may experience the following improvements:
If your depression symptoms are getting in the way of leading a happy life, you don’t have to wait any longer for help. At Thriveworks, we can usually accommodate clients within the same week so you can receive the treatment you need as soon as possible.
In-person and online appointments are available seven days a week so you can meet with your therapist wherever and whenever you may need to. Virtual sessions can be conducted by video chat without even stepping outside your home.
