About
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of professional experience supporting clients through stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma, depression, grief, and loss.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of professional experience supporting clients through stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma, depression, grief, and loss. I also have extensive experience working with youth and adolescents, helping them navigate emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges. I create a warm, safe space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed openly and without judgment. It takes courage to seek support, and I am here to walk with you as you pursue healing, balance, and a more fulfilling life.
I hold a master’s in clinical social work from Tulane University. In our sessions, I take time to understand the concerns impacting your daily life and collaborate with you to develop a clear plan for moving forward. My goal is to help you gain insight, rebuild confidence, and begin experiencing meaningful improvement in the areas that matter most to you.
I use a practical, growth-focused approach that supports reflection, skill-building, and real progress. We’ll explore your thoughts, identify unhelpful patterns, and build healthier ways of coping. My goal is to help you move forward with clarity and renewed hope.

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 am a licensed professional counselor-supervisor (LPC-S) with over 12 years of experience in community mental health, private practice, and restorative justice settings.

My work is person-centered and humanistic, incorporating evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy.

You do not have to navigate this season alone. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. Together, we will work toward meaningful change and emotional balance at a pace that feels right for you. When you are ready, I invite you to take the next step and begin this work together.

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
Our differences can lead to tense arguments and feelings of disrespect in our most treasured relationships. Having a romantic partner can be a source of happiness, but it isn’t without its ups and downs. Fortunately, real-life couples counseling is often effective. One of our licensed marriage and family therapists can help you work through difficult times and repair strained relationships through time-tested practices.
If you need help navigating issues with a partner, working with a mental health professional can help. Call our office at Thriveworks Counseling in New Orleans, LA, to schedule your first appointment.
No relationship is without disagreement. Part of the joy of being with someone comes from seeing their worldview and using this to change your outlook on life. However, even the strongest couples can sometimes use outside help to maintain healthy boundaries and nurture their relationships.
Some reasons that partners decide to start relationship counseling include:
Many couples find that speaking with a professional about ongoing issues improves their relationships by elevating their level of trust, strengthening communication skills, and allowing for vulnerability during challenging moments.
When you reach out to Thriveworks Counseling, you will be paired with a trained professional and attend sessions as a pair to express your needs and goals in your relationship. In addition, your provider can suggest several approaches that constructively resolve conflict. These might include:
