Words have power and what we call things matters. I chose the word lagniappe as part of my business name for two reasons. One is to honor a mentor of mine who has died and took the meaning of lagniappe seriously. He made sure that I always had what I needed plus a little extra. The other is because I love languages and this word fits my want to provide clients with the care that they not only deserve but also a little extra.
The word lagniappe is for me my mission statement, as a mental health provider, in two syllables. You are tired of dealing with flashbacks, messed up relationships, zoning out at work, and feeling like at any moment someone is going to figure out that you are a mess. You have a lot on your plate to manage: family, school, your relationship, a business, and you feel like there are too many balls in the air to juggle.
You have this deep dread that you are going to drop one. Your sex life may be non-existent or hanging on by a thread. Your relationship s are not what they use to be. You feel disconnected both emotionally and physically from everyone. You want help, you want direction, and you want a plan.
You want to get life in order. How do you get going with this? Take that step and contact me to book a free initial minute consultation. If you have health issues, chronic illness, or allergies and are concerned about coming in person please know that therapy and EMDR can be done successfully online and I offer those services. Either way you want to know a little bit about the person sitting in front of you before you see them.
Not every therapist is a good fit for every person. I consider myself a goofball and love to find the funny. I can talk about food, languages, and culture all day long. I spend time outside of work being creative, finding new places to go, or finding new hole in the wall with tasty food options. I want to know "all the things" and am constantly learning with a love for random facts and new skills.
