meet the therapist
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to walking alongside you through the strange and beautifully uncertain terrain of life. My background in music therapy first showed me the healing power of presence and emotional expression, and that early work inspired me to deepen my path, completing a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and becoming an LPC in Louisiana.
Rooted in existential, humanistic traditions, my approach is grounded in curiosity and presence. I draw from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for practical tools, and integrate trauma-informed modalities including internal family systems (IFS) and somatic practices, to honor your past experiences and foster a sense of safety. My work is deeply relational. I value each person’s unique story and strive to create a therapeutic space built on mutual trust and authenticity. I am grounded in the belief that healing begins with connection to self, to others, and to the meaning we create in our lives. Together, we’ll explore what it means to build a life that feels like your own.
Whether you're seeking healing or simply a place to be seen, we’ll move at a pace that feels right to you. There is no “right way” to show up, just a willingness to begin.
With Care,
“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be.”
experience
My clinical training began at Responsibility House, a residential treatment facility serving adults with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. During this time, I developed extensive experience in providing individual counseling, facilitating group psychotherapy, conducting mental health assessments, diagnosing mental health conditions, implementing case management and delivering crisis interventions. This work has fostered strong competencies in motivational interviewing and trauma-informed care.
In my work so far, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through a wide variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, complex trauma, PTSD, grief and loss, questions around identity and purpose, experiences of neurodivergence, substance use, psychosis, difficulties with relationships, emotional distress, and major life transitions.
