You're not going crazy- you're doing the best you can under crazy circumstances. I offer compassionate, open-minded therapy in Louisiana and California. My focus is to understand things from your perspective and work with you as a team to identify and meet your goals for growth.
I know from personal experience that finding a therapist can be overwhelming- especially when you need one. The good news: just being here means you're on the right track. To get you started, I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation, so reach out. Even if we aren't the right fit, I'll try to refer you to someone who might be.
I want to help. As an example, I have experience helping clients who: are recovering from trauma, in toxic or abusive relationships, feeling anxious or depressed, feeling stuck and in need of change, struggling to set relationship boundaries, coping with life transitions, building a stronger sense of self and increasing self-esteem.
Whatever it is, I want to help you get through it. My job is not to judge or give advice. My job is to listen and help you find your way back to yourself. I'm ready to meet you where you are, without judgment and with an open mind. Email or call me. I try to respond to all phone calls and emails within 24 hrs.
