She is a member of Chi Sigma Iota International Honorary Counseling Society. Before practicing as a counselor she spent eleven years working as a CPS worker for the State of Louisiana, experience that influenced her decision to move into counseling.

She focuses on helping clients build skills they can use in daily life.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client's concerns. It helps when someone needs space to talk through how family of origin patterns affect daily life and to set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to family roles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can help manage anger, intense emotions, and problems with relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice may shift over time as needs change and skills develop.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face interaction, while others prefer audio only for a simpler setup. The therapist will discuss what works best for the client's schedule and circumstances during the initial planning.
