My interest in mental health began during my military service as a Survival Instructor in the United States Airforce. During this time, I had the privilege of teaching students from all walks of life the skills to survive in any environment. I became fascinated with human behavior, stress management/responses and the profound capabilities of the mind, body and spirit when faced with adversity. While navigating through the wilderness, a waypoint is defined as "a stop along ones journey." It is a safe place where the traveler can take shelter, rest, gain insight on where they've been, accept and honor where they are, and determine their way forward. It's a place for healing. This is what I strive to provide for my clients. I completed my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Northwestern University. I have experience counseling couples, teens, adult individuals, and groups. As an Airforce veteran, I have a passion for serving military members and their families. Other interests include working with blended families, and LGBTQ+ individuals and their parents
I went to Stony Brook University for my Masters in Social Work and my Bachelor's degree in Social Work from Adelphi University. I have done two post graduate certification programs. One in substance use and another in trauma informed care.
I believe that it is important for every client to understand their story deeper and what their values, beliefs, and core language is like and how impacts there well-being. I believe in the mind-body connection.
**Only accepting first responders/military/veterans/medical professionals/family members**
You’ve spent your life protecting others. Now it’s time to take care of yourself.
With over 23 years of clinical experience, I specialize in working with first responders, veterans, active-duty military, and family members—those who carry the weight of service, trauma, and high-stakes responsibility every day. Whether you’re dealing with critical incident stress, moral injury, grief, operational fatigue, or post-traumatic symptoms, this is a space where you can begin to offload, recover, and regroup—without judgment.
I offer a straightforward, confidential, and culturally competent approach grounded in mutual respect and trust. I understand that traditional therapy may not always resonate with those trained to "push through," so I tailor treatment to match your mindset and mission-oriented way of thinking.
If you're dealing with sleep disruption, emotional numbing, relationship strain, anxiety, anger, substance use or unresolved loss—you're not alone, and you don't have to carry it all by yourself.
I’m trained in evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care, but I always begin with connection—human to human. Sessions are goal-focused, direct, and geared toward resilience, restoration, and real-life tools that work.
You've stood on the front lines for others. When you're ready, I’m here to stand with you.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in both Louisiana (#7329) and New Hampshire (#3228). I earned my Masters degree in Social Work from Tulane University. My training focused on looking at the whole picture — not just your immediate symptoms, but all the moving parts of your life that affect your well-being. I often work with adults (ages 24 - 70) dealing with anxiety, trauma, stress, burnout, and life transitions.
Welcome! I work with individuals seeking support, clarity, and meaningful change. I believe therapy should be a collaborative and supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.
I specialize in working with clients experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, and trauma. My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to each person’s unique experiences and goals.
I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, strengthen self-awareness, and build skills that support resilience and well-being.
Whether you're navigating a challenging time or looking for personal growth, I would be honored to work with you.
