  "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." - Proverbs 4:23 

 

​My passion for Social Work started when I recognized stigmas and stereotypes associated with seeking mental health treatment. It was then that I realized that many people feel alone and are afraid to admit that there's a problem. I found that it is my purpose to help these individuals find a solution by empowering them to overcome their challenges head-on. 

​

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Louisiana. I graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor of General Studies minoring in Arts and Social Sciences from the Louisiana State University in Shreveport and in 2019 with a Masters of Social Work from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. I have worked in the mental health field as a Social Worker for about 8 years. I started as a Mental Health Specialist and Mental Health Professional, working with adults and children in the community. After graduating and obtaining my license, I have worked in inpatient and outpatient behavioral health facilities.
