Therapists in New Orleans, LA

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.

How you see yourself might be deeply influenced by the emotional distress, negative thought patterns, or destructive and addictive behaviors you struggle with. As a Holistic Health Practitioner, I believe these conditions cover up, rather than define, who you truly are. My unique approach to holistic health and wellness encourages a balanced integration of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of your wellbeing. I'd like to support you in creating optimal conditions for the safe, mindful, and deep exploration of your innate capacity for self-healing and radical transformation.

If you are currently going through struggles in life or hitting some obstacles, know that it's normal and it happens to all of us at various times. Anxiety and depressive symptoms often arise as a result. The question is, how are you coping? Sometimes without being aware of it, we develop destructive coping mechanisms by masking or shoving things down. With over 20 years of experience I help guide clients towards healthier tools to live a more functional and fulfilling life, and improve relationships along the way. Above all else the key component centers around self care, learning to take care of you.

Struggling is not shameful, and it takes courage to acknowledge and attend to those needs. When you are ready, I'm here to help you clarify, understand, process, and connect the pieces of the unique puzzle that is your life. I look forward to working collaboratively to build an individualized treatment plan to move toward your established goals. I'm experienced working with diverse clients in residential and community settings. I approach counseling from an integrative, holistic perspective leaning upon existential principles. I am currently accepting new clients, providing teletherapy only.

There are many reasons or motivations people may have for seeing a therapist, and they are all valid: You might feel stuck, out of balance, disconnected.

Perhaps you just need a space where you can be validated and supported, without judgement. My approach to therapy is eclectic and collaborative: working with you to tailor and adjust my methods to your strengths, preferences, and needs. In therapy, one size does NOT fit all.
