Therapists in New Orleans, LA

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.

It sure is a wild world out there these days. Need some support? Wanna process major life changes or how to move in a new direction?

We can do virtual talk therapy or work more creatively in person; looking for new pathways of problem solving through your creative senses.

Most of my clients are ordinary people who have been sexually abused as children or adults, or are from alcoholic families, or are struggling with alcoholism in their current life.

There are times in all our lives when we feel overwhelmed by circumstances or have emotional struggles. During these times it is vital that we are able to talk to someone who is non-judgmental and empathetic; that we enter into a trusting, confidential, therapeutic relationship. In this relationship we will work together to make positive change so that you may have a more productive, fulfilling and happier life.

Welcome. I am glad that you are here. I work in partnership with my clients- building a safe, authentic space where they can be themselves. The decision to start therapy is a brave one. While vulnerability may feel uncomfortable, your dedication to self exploration is a powerful force. You have all the tools you need to live your fullest life. It's about time we unearth them! I am well versed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. By shifting what we tell ourselves, we can create powerful changes in our perspectives and daily behaviors.

Struggling with finding your true voice? Hesitant to make the best decision for yourself? Spending too much time worrying about what family, friends, or coworkers think or what they'd expect of you? Take a deep breath... Life is complicated. Balancing work, family, relationships, living life for others can overshadow living for oneself. It's not selfish, it's selfcare. It's important to take the time to address your personal needs and often caring for others can get in the way of doing so. Through a Therapeutic Alliance, Counseling creates a space where sorting through life's challenges and establishing balance becomes possible.

As a therapist, it is my belief that everyone deserves to have a safe empathic, non- judgmental environment to which they can begin to better understand themselves and others. Therapy provides the opportunity for growth and change and eventually, a better understanding of one's self. This process is a collaboration to discover the desired lifestyle and happiness we all want. I offer a non judgmental warm supportive environment to help my clients process and express themselves.
