I want to help people develop hope for their lives and build on that foundation. I desire to facilitate healthy relationships mentally, spiritually, and intimately. I am an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist. A patient can expect me to be a genuine, empathetic, and non-judgmental partner (PCT), working collaboratively with them to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors

Patients often highlight the unique value of a shared cultural understanding and the resulting ability to feel completely authentic and understood without having to constantly explain their experiences. I have a built-in cultural competence, validation of lived experiences, and the ability to be myself. Moreover, they report improved self-awareness, communication, and conflict resolution, deepening emotional and physical intimacy, and rebuilding trust after issues like betrayal/infidelity.

Hope flows from the inside out. Problems come in different sizes; they could appear as little foxes disrupting your life or Goliaths that are overwhelming; therefore, talk therapy is essential. Therapy offers a space to talk and figure out a healthy plan for you and your family.

Personal Interests

My family’s cultural background is from Louisiana and Texas. I am proud to come from a four-generational military family. I transitioned to professional counseling when I saw the family unit’s needs within the school system. I hold a Master of Arts degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies in Early Education and Special Education from the University of Houston Clear Lake. After completing my master’s, I entered a License Professional Counseling doctoral program to gain more knowledge and understanding of the field and hone in on a specialization, which is sex and sexuality. I am excited to continue my journey of learning and developing.

I love Cajun/Creole food & music and family time! The majority of my leisure time is enjoying fishing with my family. I make sure my fishing license does not expire!
