I practice from a Systemic Therapy perspective. It involves understanding
how internal (you) and external (someone else) relationships come to affect your
thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
One of the things I regularly talk about is Emotional Intelligence. It is the ability to perceive, understand, and manage your own emotions while responding to others' emotions.
This means that I am all about understanding the relationships that you have with yourself and those around you. Often, people tend to be more reactive to things in their lives. People are busy and constantly have to learn how to balance things, but not all individuals balance things well.
Work History: Started working in 2008 with eating disorders, which led to my years working with domestic violence and sexual assault, which opened my mind to learning more about trauma, sexual health, and substance use. Over the years, I have worked with individuals, families, couples of all backgrounds, and first responders, focusing on a variety of issues. Since moving to Louisiana in 2012, I have been focusing my time on understanding the connection between emotions and relationships. I opened my private practice in 2019 and added teaching at a university in 2021.
