Therapists in New Orleans, LA

An ideal patient would be open, willing, and ready to engage in deep dialogue (and practice). In doing so, they would be able to reflect on what is needed for them at the present time. This could be historical Trauma and/or any other mental health condition that has led to personal dysregulation (emotionally and physically). As they dive into the process of caring for themselves, they can build a stronger foundation of their own needs and goals. Ideally, they would be comforted by a sense of personal insights towards change and collective care.

Life can be overwhelming. It is easy to get stuck in a cycle of anxiety, hopelessness, frustration and/or depression making your days harder. Therapy can help you feel in control and allow you to feel your best. My job is to help you find your inner strength and reach your overall wellness goals. I believe that through understanding and compassion, I can help you identify those core thoughts and emotions that can delay happiness in a world that is already filled with chaos. My background includes work in anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, stress and behavioral issues.

I believe in assessing clients on an individual basis, choosing treatment modalities that would be indicated for the particular problem/s of that person. I honor what the client wishes we set therapy goals accordingly. I work with adolescents and adults in individual, couple or family therapy bringing to treatment years of experience, a good solid knowledge base and a sensitivity towards my clients concerns. I have been trained to use hypnosis and E.M.D.R. in my practice. I have taught at the Tulane University School of Social Work as an adjunct professor from 1984 - 2014, 30 years.

I am a native New Orleanian who has experienced the power of resilience and rebirth in our people and our city. I believe all persons have this same capacity within themselves. Much of my work has been with underserved populations, and it has shown me that no matter where a person comes from or what they have been through, we all face many of the same challenges. Sometimes our thoughts, fears, hurt, anger, past traumas, and experiences keep us from moving on and changing. We begin to feel stuck. I’m not sure we can ever completely free ourselves from ourselves, but we do have the power to become happier and more fulfilled.

I view the counseling relationship as one in which you the client, and I, the counselor work together to develop goals that will help increase emotional well-being and improve your quality of life. I welcome clients of all backgrounds. I do not take insurance at this time and charge a rate of $80 per session. Sliding scale payment options are also available.

Hey there, feeling stuck lately? Maybe you've been feeling down, depressed, anxious or unmotivated. You may be feeling as if no matter what you do or try, you find yourself in the same place. You feel stuck in the same cycles. You're probably here because you're wanting a change but not sure of how to move from where you are to where you'd like to be.

Working on oneself may come as a challenge, an obstacle that may stand in the way of you becoming a better version of who you would like to be. Are you having trouble adjusting to changes in your life, such as anxiety, anger issues, difficult events, depression or some form of trauma? Therapy can be useful in helping individuals manage those stressors, and improve relationships with significant others, family members, and most importantly self. It may seem difficult to acknowledge what you're going through mentally, but the first step is knowing that you want to be that better you in every sense.

I understand that there are times when you feel very alone and struggle with everyday realities. Let me help you find your self again and identify the things that are getting in the way of your happiness and success. You are not alone. We can do this together.

People entering therapy are often overwhelmed with distressing thoughts and emotions. Others feel stuck repeating destructive behaviors or chasing dissatisfying relationships. Many clients have tried therapy in the past and want a deeper approach that gets to the root of their issues.

I have years of experience working with young adults, parents/families, and educators to navigate the unique challenges each of these experiences can bring. I support clients in navigating life transitions, identity development, values clarity, emotion regulation, and shame resilience. I also work with clients on attachment-related relationship dynamics and challenges that stem from early childhood or other attachment injuries. By connecting in a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space, clients are able to explore their internal worlds and gain clarity as well as a renewed sense of empowerment in their lives.

Our lives are incredibly demanding, full, and busy - all the more reason to devote dedicated time to nurturing yourself. Any individual can benefit from therapy if they are courageous enough to seek help and engage in the process. I offer both short and long term therapy to adult individuals.

In seven years of psychotherapy work with children, adolescents, college students, adults, and families, I have found that unhealthy levels of stress can worsen problems related to self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and beyond. These issues often lead to additional problems at home, school, or work and ultimately affect relationships with friends and family. Struggling with difficult life transitions may have a significant and lasting impact on the mind. It can be hard to navigate these situations or to know where to turn.

I often connect easily with folks who identify as neurodivergent, queer, expressive, eccentric, activist, artist or hospitality worker.

It is my hope to guide you toward a more embodied self through creative expression. My experience and training informs the way I guide you toward your own creative uncovering and self-exploration.

Music is a remedy of the soul, a bridge between cultures, languages, and emotions. Music Therapy is a clinical and evidenced-based healthcare profession that combines the power of music with skilled therapeutic interventions. Through musical involvement in the therapeutic context, clients' abilities are strengthened and transferred to other areas of their lives. Music therapy also provides avenues for communication that can be helpful to those who find it difficult to express themselves in words.
