Hi, I’m Dawne and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Orleans, and I bring 12 years of experience in the field.
I bring a youthful, down-to-earth energy into sessions. If you’re looking for a therapist who is real, relatable, and ready to help you take things one day at a time, I’m here for you. Let’s work together toward healing, growth, and goals that feel good for you.
Since earning my M.Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of New Orleans, I’ve spent years working with a diverse population of men and women.
My goal is to make therapy feel accessible, relevant, and genuinely helpful. We'll work on practical coping skills, delve into underlying patterns, and help you cultivate greater self-compassion and inner peace.
Your freedom! Practicing for 34 years, this in my mission for why I do what I do! I believe we are meant to live lives full of joy, and freedom from depression, fear, addictions, and other important issues that can hold us back.
I encourage you not to wait. Get the life you have always wanted and deserve. Reach out and give me a call! You can ask any questions you have. You have nothing to lose.
I believe every person deserves the chance to live free: free from trauma, anxiety, fear, broken relationships, and the pain of the past.
As an Air Force veteran and woman of faith, I bring both clinical training and real-life experience to the work of helping others.
You are not alone. When you’re ready, I’m here—ready to listen, ready to walk with you, and ready to help you move forward.
