Dr. Savage

An important part of therapy is feeling comfortable, understood, and connected with your therapist—especially for children and teens. I take the time to build genuine relationships and create a safe, supportive space where young people can be themselves, feel heard, and engage in the therapeutic process. Because when your child feels connected, therapy can become a place where meaningful change begins.

About Me

I was born and raised in Austin, Texas and currently live in Shreveport, LA. I am very passionate about animals and have fostered a few dogs over the years. My fiancé and I are hoping to adopt 2 dogs soon! I love to engage in crafts and art, and I am currently working on building my sewing skills. In my free time I also love to play video games and board games. I have always enjoyed outdoor and athletic activities and play ultimate frisbee most weeks. Being part of my community is important to me, and I enjoy finding ways to connect with others, get involved in local activities, and give back when I can.
