Education Background: I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Journalism from Prairie View A&M University and a Master's in Counseling from Argosy University. I received my licensed chemical dependency counselor license in 2016 where I worked as a drug and alcohol counselor for three years in the criminal justice system. I worked with men who were first time offenders of a drug crime and were sentenced to long term rehabilitation. I also worked with women with children in an inpatient setting, where I taught them parenting skills in addition to relapse prevention, and stress management. I have worked with children and adults with severe psychological and emotional disturbances, survivors of trauma and patients suffering from severe mental illness. 
 
After Hurricane Katrina demolished New Orleans and displaced thousands, I was inspired to learn how to help them heal the emotional and psychological trauma they  experienced by becoming a counselor. I graduated from Argosy University with an M.A. in Counseling in 2012 and obtained a provisional license in 2016. My experience has been working with people of all ages using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a strength-based model to help clients change their thinking patterns. With this method, I also teach mindfulness, distress tolerance, coping skills and anger management. 

I primarily use CBT, but I am skilled in many modalities such as interpersonal, integrative, and trauma-focused. You are the expert of your experience, and I am present as a guide to assist you in the process of change, We will work collaboratively to devise a treatment plan consisting of goals for treatment to track progression of the process.  
​
In a perfect world, life turns out exactly the way we plan it. Sometimes however, challenging times seem to last longer than they need to. When you feel you have exhausted resources to deal with them, it's time to reach out for help. There is hope and I am so grateful you have chosen me to assist you in changing your life.
