About Me

My specialties include:

Adults Struggling with Adverse Childhood Experiences
Parenting Challenges
Personal Growth and Understanding

Like many therapists, my path to this work was shaped by my own painful and injurious experiences in childhood. Due to my lived experience, I was drawn to supporting trauma survivors, working in settings such as rape crisis centers and domestic violence shelters: as well as with refugees, human trafficking survivors, and with children navigating poverty and the many challenges that come with it.

I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with a focus on International Disaster Psychology from the University of Denver, where I trained in the mental health ramifications, and treatment, of both man-made and natural disasters. After grad school, I worked at Children’s Hospital New Orleans, first as a case manager, and then as a Licensed Professional Counselor, Parent Educator and Registered Play Therapist. I was honored to work with children and their parents in the Psychology Department for almost a decade before transitioning into private practice.

Despite all my experiences, years of therapy, education and training, my strong desire for understanding and learning to heal childhood trauma began when I became a mother fourteen years ago, and my past came rushing into my present. I was often overwhelmed by my feelings, and I would catch myself parenting in ways that made me feel ashamed, confused and guilty. Despite my efforts to do better, I started believing I just wasn’t cut out to be a mom. I now know it's common for kids to trigger our own "stuff," and I want to make sure that no parent feels alone in this often overwhelming, heart wrenching, and joyous journey through parenthood.

As a Psychodynamic therapist and a Certified EMDR clinician, I believe therapy becomes a place where lifelong patterns, stories and beliefs can be recognized and understood, and new ones created. I evaluate my client’s past experiences starting with his/her/their earliest memories and most meaningful and transformative relationships. We agree on treatment goals and work together to meet them at a pace that feels good to you.

As a cis-gendered, straight white woman, I am dedicated to making sure that my practice is LGBTQIA+ allied and affirming. I welcome all ages, cultures, races, genders and sexual orientations. I continually try to learn, and bring into awareness, how my own biases, privileges, experiences, and perspectives shape and influence how I interact with the world, and with my clients.

Education & Experience

Prior to opening As We Greaux Counseling Services, I worked for nearly a decade at Children’s Hospital New Orleans with children who were struggling with behavioral, mood, and emotional disturbances. I also worked collaboratively with their parents to create health and wellness for the entire family.

I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado Boulder and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Denver with a focus in International Disaster Psychology. I am a Louisiana Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S #4177).

I am Certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), an evidence-based trauma therapy. This therapy is used to address attachment and relational trauma; as well as, for getting to the root causes of anxiety and depression. I offer EMDR Intensive therapy to people who don’t have the ability to make weekly appointments and/or need relief sooner rather than later.

I am Certified in Telemental Health which means I can provide therapy services to my clients via a secure online video conferencing system.
