Therapists in Lafayette, LA

I meet my clients where they are on their journey. My job is to support, encourage, and empower you. The healing journey is multi-faceted, multi-layered, and often unpredictable. However, there are signposts and milestones along the way and I combine my education, training, and skillset to help my clients journey with more ease and success. I help my clients process and overcome the effects of trauma using EMDR and somatic therapies. Allowing ourselves to trust and more fully embody our true self is a process of opening, letting go, receiving, and taking courageous steps.
