Helping People Live Better Lives
My journey into social work wasn’t just professional—it was personal. I’ve walked through seasons of pain, uncertainty, and healing, and each step shaped who I am today.
Educational Background
Personal Introduction
I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Southeastern Louisiana University, my Master of Social Work from LSU, and my Doctor of Social Work from Tulane University. But my real education began long before those degrees—through lived experience, a love for my community, and an unwavering calling to help others restore what’s been broken.
Clinical Experience
Since 2013, I’ve been working with children, teens, and families—supporting them through trauma, grief, anxiety, and life’s hardest transitions. Whether it’s in a playroom, an online session, or a community workshop, I believe healing is possible—and I’m here to help you believe that too.
