I realize that no two people are the same and tailor my approach to therapy to meet the specific needs of my clients. I have experience supporting clients with anxiety, anger, depression, aggression, grief, self-esteem, and trauma. I also find particular joy in supporting neurodiverse children and families. 

My practice specializes in treating individuals, children and families and I offer comprehensive services including:

Play is a child's natural language, and the way in which they explore and express their inner world. I use my training in child development, counseling theory and practice, and the therapeutic powers of play to engage your child in the play therapy process. Together, we create a relationship built on safety and trust wherein the child moves toward the emotions and experiences they find challenging and learns to how to be with those feelings in safer and more regulated ways. 

In play therapy, I help children grow in their self-knowledge and in their ability to understand and communicate their feelings. By entering the child's world through their play, I help children build their ability to meet frustration, anxiety, disappointment, and other challenges with resilience. 

I know first-hand how hard parenting can be. Sometimes we all need some support in what I believe is the hardest job in the world. In my work with parents we combine the expertise you bring on your child and family with the knowledge of interpersonal neurobiology and the nervous system that I bring from years of clinical experience and continual learning. Together, we work to uncover the needs underneath your child's challenging behaviors and explore strategies that help you and your child feel more connected and capable to handle whatever challenges come with the chaos of life. 

Parent coaching work can be in addition to play therapy services, or independently without me ever meeting your child(ren). I conduct my parent coaching sessions via telehealth, and am able to work with clients anywhere within the state of Louisiana.

Are you having a difficult time handling the struggles in your life?

Realize you are stuck in patterns that leave you feeling disconnected, anxious, depressed, or resentful?

Looking to relate to yourself and others in ways that feel more authentic?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then individual therapy might be helpful. I approach therapy from a person-centered approach that centers you as the expert in your life. We work together to set goals that will help you work toward the change you want to see. We explore the patterns of thinking and relating that leave you feeling stuck, and try on new ways of being that feel more authentic and connected to who you want to be.
