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.

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.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Shreveport, LA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
