Adults Therapists in Fairgrounds, New Orleans, LA

First of all, let me say that I respect your decision to seek therapy, it shows emotional health and awareness. I believe that therapy is a tool to guide people to obtain the skills to be emotionally successful in their lives. I have extensive experience working with adults that grew up in families with addiction, personality disorders, and trauma. I work with adults that struggle establishing or maintaining healthy relationships due to this experience. I will help you break the negative cycles of re-enactment. I believe that we are all on a journey of self-awareness and sometimes we need help along the way.

As an EMDRIA approved Consultant with certifications in EMDR, Brainspotting, and Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, I offer evidenced-based psychotherapy. Stress, anxiety, and trauma overwhelm our systems. Symptoms can manifest in unexpected ways. There may be an identifiable trigger or we may not know why we feel the way we do. These brain-body modalities work with the self-healing aspects of our biology, restoring balance to the nervous system, and influencing neural patterning so that deep and lasting change can occur. Intensives/ customized accelerated therapy programs are available.

Therapy encompasses journeying together to pinpoint your strengths and utilize them to develop fruitful solutions to life challenges. It is my mission to provide encouragement, information, evaluation, and illumination to assist in achieving your goals. Our emphasis will be on reaching back and gathering the best of what the past has to teach so that you can achieve your full potential as you move forward.

When life is distressing, overwhelming, or seemingly even impossible, you don't have to hold it on your own. Personal growth is rooted in relationships where we risk moving towards the discomfort that arises at our edges. Finding the right therapist to support you through this process can make all the difference.

Are you feeling unmotivated or controlled by fear, worry or doubt? Numerous things trigger our emotions that are painful, confusing, or difficult to navigate and leave us feeling depressed, anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed. Negative thought processes and limiting beliefs are then created. They can be easier to ignore, however over time, they impact our thoughts and behaviors in unhealthy, unproductive ways. But you are reading this because you know there's a better way. You want to feel happier, confident, more motivated. It isn't until you decide to identify emotions and thoughts that you will feel empowered, content, and joyful.

Being a caregiver can be a landmine, and when that landmine gets tripped, it can look much different than just burnout. It can look like always doing and moving and worrying, because of a fear of everything falling apart if you slow down. It can look like feeling disconnected from or mistrusting of your body or emotions. It can look like self-sacrifice being a measure of your worth. It can look like rage, helplessness, and scary intrusive thoughts. And it can certainly feel like it's a YOU problem, when really, you may be responding the best you know how to an unsupportive environment.

You are at your threshold and something has to give. Maybe you have been struggling for years, or maybe you have new stress that feels unmanageable. You've tried changing your diet, journaling, talking it out, and nothing seems to change. It may seem as though things will never be different in your life or your relationship. But, after years of experience working with others just like you, here is the truth: lasting change is possible. My clients come to me because they want a shift and are seeking support as they turn onto a new path. Together, we will explore your thoughts and feelings, using a goal-oriented, intentional approach.

I have openings! When an atmosphere of trust and collaboration is created, healing can begin. My clients have shared with me that I am amicable and non-judgmental, warm hearted with a sense of humor and play. Within this space, clients who are learning to live with problems like a change in life, addiction or trauma can explore their life experiences, learn to use their current strengths and add new skills to move towards their goal. It takes time and patience, honesty and courage, plus support to look at one's self and stick with new thoughts and behaviors.

I enjoy following your lead to the topics and concerns that are most pressing for you. I also teach breathing exercises, meditation techniques, visualizations and communication strategies. I use both structured methods like CBT and EMDR and my own intuitive understanding to help you heal. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and grief. For me, therapy is a way of gently holding up a mirror to see our inherent clarity and wisdom that is like the blue sky above the clouds.

Welcome! I have 10+ years of experience working as a psychotherapist and tend to focus on childhood trauma, self-acceptance, and the idea that most of our well-being comes from within ourselves. I treat most mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, substance abuse and relationship conflict. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can be the most healing part of therapy and tend to use that as a guide.

You Ready? Ready to work? Because therapy is work. It's a commitment, not only to yourself, but to the ones you love. Our team of Elite therapists embrace the unconventional. In a world where individuality is often subdued, we stand out by celebrating our uniqueness. Our practice goes beyond traditional therapy; it's an exploration of SELF-discovery, integrating elements of creativity, mindfulness, and holistic well-being. We go deep! I have seen miracles in real life I cannot say enough about the power of therapy. IF you're ready, we're ready to see you through this. Let's get to work. Congratulations in advance on your new life.

My work focuses on as a process in which you, and I, the Counselor, having come to trust one another, work as a team to explore and define present problem issues.

Sometimes you need a place where you can just BE. My aim is to provide an environment where you can feel safe enough to identify, experience, and critically reflect on your emotional inner experiences. In our work together, we will unpack both present day issues and underlying early life experiences. I often draw upon person-centered and emotion-focused approaches, but ultimately, I allow you to take the lead to make the most of our time together.
