I am a licensed psychologist who has been practicing in the field of psychology since 1993. My office is in Midcity, in the heart of New Orleans. I work primarily with children (ages 2-17) and their families, as well as engaging in some adult work utilizing EFT.  I received my doctoral degree in 1993 from the University of Southern Mississippi, with a specialization in School Psychology.  I completed my doctoral internship at the LSU Medical Center’s Louisiana School Psychology Internship Consortium in New Orleans and was then employed by the Jefferson Parish School Board for five years before opening my private practice.  Aside from private work, I have worked on contract with a multitude of organizations (e.g., OCDD, DCFS, SSI, V.A., MHSD, school systems, private schools, etc.).

I am a former president for the Crescent City Association of Psychologists Society, and have served on the executive council for the Louisiana Psychological Association as secretary, director, and ethics and continuing education chair.  I have been practicing EFT since 2008 and member of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology – an international association of energy therapy practitioners.
