About
As a 45-year-old African American woman navigating menopause, motherhood, and marriage, I bring lived wisdom, clinical insight, and a deep calling to walk alongside other women 35 and up as they reclaim their voice, vitality, and vision.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience supporting individuals, families, and communities through compassionate, culturally responsive care. I specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, stress, parenting challenges, identity development, and healing from past emotional wounds. I create a warm, emotionally safe space where clients can reconnect with themselves, restore their energy, and imagine what’s possible.
I hold a master’s in social work from Louisiana State University. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and strength-based, mindfulness-informed care. I provide insight-building psychoeducation and tools clients can use beyond the therapy room.
Whether you are facing a tough season, supporting your child, or simply needing a space to feel heard, I am here to help. I offer a grounded, compassionate approach that meets you where you are and supports meaningful progress at your pace. When you are ready, I welcome you to take the next step and schedule a session with me.

As someone who has experienced personal loss, including the passing of my father in April 2021 and my grandmother in July 2022, I bring a compassionate, authentic understanding of grief while creating a safe and supportive space for clients to heal and grow.
I am a licensed professional counselor and clinical director with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their next steps, and who are seeking healing, clarity, and emotional stability. My goal is to provide a supportive, client-centered space where individuals can build coping skills, process challenges, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life.
I use a client-centered, trauma-informed approach integrating CBT, coping skills, and strengths-based techniques. I specialize in trauma, grief, and emotional regulation, helping clients build insight, develop healthy coping strategies, and feel empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.
You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone—I am here to support you with compassion, understanding, and practical tools for change. When you’re ready, I invite you to take that first step toward healing and becoming the best version of yourself.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Lafayette, LA provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Lafayette is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.
Lately, it feels like stress at work is starting to creep into other parts of your life. You’re irritable and short-tempered at home, causing tension in your relationships. You can’t sleep at night and it feels impossible to concentrate on important tasks and projects. You’re just not feeling yourself and it’s all becoming a little overwhelming.
Stress, anxiety, and emotional changes are normal parts of life. But when these feelings begin to interfere with normal activities, it may be time to seek help from a counseling psychologist. Major changes in your life, the death of a loved one, or a mental illness can take you on an emotional rollercoaster but a psychologist can help you work through it.
Our licensed mental health professionals can help you understand emotional changes or mental health challenges and give you the tools you need to work through them. Contact Thriveworks in Lafayette, LA today to connect with a psychologist and begin regaining control of your life.
There are many ways psychologists help people improve their mental health. While psychologists do treat severe mental health issues, they also help people cope with everyday stressors and uncomfortable emotions. You don’t have to be facing life-threatening problems to benefit from working with a licensed psychologist.
Life can throw curveballs your way when you least expect it. New problems may appear or chronic mental health issues may return suddenly. Managing intense feelings on your own can feel impossible, or maybe you don’t know where to start. A psychologist can guide you through tough seasons of life and give you the skills to build a better future.
Common reasons people decide to pursue counseling with a psychologist include:
A psychologist is highly trained to diagnose and treat mental, emotional, and behavioral health issues and illnesses. Your past experiences, personality, and biology will all be taken into account during psychological evaluation. Your psychologist will take time to get to know what makes you tick and how that relates to your current experiences and emotions.
After your psychologist has a better understanding of your concerns, symptoms, and goals, they can develop a treatment plan specifically tailored to you. Your plan may involve one or many types of therapy, prescription medications, or a combination of different treatment modalities. You may also learn coping mechanisms and other techniques to more effectively deal with difficult feelings and manage them in the future.
Possible forms of talk therapy your psychologist may recommend and utilize include:
If you are struggling to cope with overwhelming feelings or transitions in your life, a licensed psychologist can help. Whether you need a provider who specializes in mood disorders, anxiety, or another specialty area, the mental health professionals at Thriveworks in Lafayette, LA are trained and ready to manage your specific issues.
When you decide to seek professional help for your mental health, Thriveworks makes it easy to get started. You can schedule your appointment online or by phone, and appointments are available in person or remotely so you can get help wherever is most comfortable for you.
You don’t have to wait to begin improving your mental health. Call us today to schedule an appointment with a clinical psychologist at Thriveworks in Lafayette, LA. We look forward to helping you build a healthier, happier future.
