THE FACE BEHIND THE BRAND
my
journey
I'm originally from Zachary, Louisiana, and my journey into mental health advocacy was deeply personal. My family's struggles with mental health challenges ignited a commitment in me that would shape the rest of my life. I didn't just want to help people heal, I wanted to create systems and spaces that made healing accessible, sustainable, and transformative.
​
Early in my career, I faced doubts and setbacks that could have stopped me. But I adopted a personal motto that has carried me through every challenge: I shall not be defeated. That mindset, combined with unwavering support from my husband, gave me the courage to take the leap and establish Safe Place Counseling & Consulting.
​
What started as a single practice has grown into multiple thriving behavioral health agencies with over 60 employees across multiple states, serving clients from age 3 to adults. But that was just the beginning.
from clinician
to entrepreneur
Building my 4 behavioral health agencies taught me something critical: clinical excellence and business acumen are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they're essential partners. I learned how to build infrastructure, lead teams, develop systems, and scale impact, not by abandoning the clinical work I loved, but by expanding around it.
​
That realization led me to create MindBuddy AI, a practice management platform/ AI Chatbot designed to help therapists automate administrative tasks so they can focus on what they do best: caring for their clients. I wanted to solve the problem I had experienced firsthand, how to run a business without sacrificing the quality of care.
​
I also founded Her Soul, a community dedicated to women's empowerment, healing, and connection. Her Soul offers retreats, workshops, and sisterhood experiences that create space for women to grow together. It's about building a culture of support, vulnerability, and collective strength.
Beyond my businesses, I've coached and consulted with multiple agencies, helping them open, operate, and scale. I've created self-care and healing products. I've spoken at events, led workshops, and built partnerships that extend the reach of mental wellness into communities that need it most.

why i do
this work
​
At the core of everything I do is a belief that transformation is possible, for individuals, for professionals, and for communities. I believe that therapists shouldn't have to choose between clinical excellence and entrepreneurial success. I believe that women deserve spaces where collaboration is real, not performative. I believe that mental wellness should be accessible.
I'm a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, and my commitment to service and community impact runs through everything I build. Whether I'm working with a client in therapy, mentoring a therapist building their platform, or facilitating a conversation among executive women, the goal is always the same: create space for growth, connection, and intentional impact.
​
My work has been recognized with awards and accolades, but the real reward is watching people step into their fullest potential, whether that's healing from trauma, building a thriving practice, or finding their voice as a leader.

what i
believe
I believe that healing is not a luxury, it's a necessity. I believe that therapists can be both exceptional clinicians and successful entrepreneurs. I believe that women deserve spaces where collaboration feels safe, expansive, and sustainable. And I believe that with the right support, strategy, and community, transformation is not just possible, it's inevitable.
My work is about creating pathways to growth, whether that's personal healing, professional development, or leadership expansion. And it starts with showing up, doing the internal work, and committing to the process.
