Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from McNeese State University and Master of Science in Nursing from Loyola University, New Orleans.

I bring a strong foundation in health care and client-centered practice to my counseling work. My integrative theoretical orientation combines cognitive, narrative, and psychodynamic approaches. I believe individuals develop core beliefs and interpretations of life’s events during childhood, which unconsciously influence them throughout adulthood.

My therapeutic approach to counseling is largely based on cognitive behavioral strategies that deal with addressing unhealthy thought patterns in order to change unhealthy behaviors and to better cope with distressing emotions.
