Education and Certification

I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology and am a licensed psychotherapist in Louisiana. Committed to staying updated in my field, I've undertaken various professional development courses. My expertise lies in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy, ensuring the best therapeutic techniques for my clients.

My practice offers a wide range of services, including individual, group, and couples therapy. While I specialize in anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, I'm equipped to address various psychological issues, supporting each client's unique path to healing.

Therapeutic Philosophy: An Integrative Approach

My practice integrates Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy.

  • CBT is a proven method that helps clients recognize and transform harmful thought patterns. It empowers the development of healthier coping strategies.
  • Psychodynamic Therapy is an approach that dives into deep-rooted thoughts and emotions, working through past relationship conflicts to boost current behavior and mental well-being.
