Therapists in New Orleans, LA

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. They may be having difficulty adjusting to changing circumstaaances in their lives due to divorce or loss of a family member or friend. Many of my clients are experiencing depression or anxiety or chronic worry.

I am steadfast in the belief that there is always hope, and that there are no paths taken that can’t be redirected. Please join me as we discover your process of healing together. A native of New Orleans, I hold a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Holy Cross University. I am currently a PLPC working under the supervision of April Ivy, LPC-S. After taking some personal time to focus on family and motherhood, I am thrilled to be back seeing clients again.

Making the decision to look for a therapist to assist you, support your marriage, your family or your child can be extremely fulfilling. My objective is to utilize my varied experience to provide you with caring and individualized therapeutic support that is attuned to your specific goals. Learning to understand what has brought you to this moment and working collaboratively, we will build on your strengths and explore new tools to overcome obstacles that are hindering you in reaching your desired outcomes.

Welcome, I have the highest regard for the struggles you or your family have been facing. I see counseling as a process that you and I as the counselor come to understand and trust one another to explore and develop goals for an improved life. I offer a confidential atmosphere in which therapy is a cornerstone. When you experience issues and feel you are at a stand still in life, I am here to offer hope and tools to help you discover the strength within yourself. I work with commitment and diligence just as you do in the counseling process.

I enjoy being able to assist those who are in need of finding a way out of the darkness. Also, my practice focuses on the study of substance abuse/addiction counseling. I have experience working with children and geriatric populations. I think that telehealth and online therapy are very powerful tools that we have to bring our support to more people regardless of whether they are near or far.

In this increasingly wacky world, life can happen in a way that doesn't always seem to work. Change may be scary, leaving you feeling lost without a roadmap. I work to create a safe, supportive environment, free from judgment so you can show up and put whatever you're thinking and feeling on the table. We navigate together - exploring and sorting out your strengths and inner dialogue to harness your power (it's in there!). My goal is to help you reduce feelings of stress, sadness, and confusion, open your mind to possibilities, and give you concrete, practical new tools and strategies to get you back on your best path.

I believe deeply in the ability for people to change and renew. My 20 plus years of experience working with women, men, and families who have experienced addiction, physical, sexual and emotional trauma, homelessness, and mental illness affirms this belief.

If you are suffering from depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, or addiction, I can help you navigate the road to recovery. I have helped hundreds of clients just like you to learn the tools they need to get their life back on track. There is nothing easy about therapy but trying to manage without can be far more difficult. You have already taken the most difficult step by seeking help. And we all need help sometimes.

In addition to counseling, I enjoy teaching. In counseling I have the opportunity to teach my clients new skills to better their mental health. I believe that it is easier for individuals to learn about new information if it is presented in conjunction with something they already know. In line with this, I enjoy using pop culture in my therapy process. I have a blog focused on self-care using coping skills in conjunction with popular culture. Therapypopculture.com
