Family Therapy in Louisiana

I believe in incorporating family participation to insure a healthy balance between recovery, family, and career. It's been my experience that counseling from a holistic approach focuses on the core beliefs and associated behaviors contributing to the issues we struggle with daily in our lives.I approach counseling from a cognitive-behavioral perspective in that patterns of thoughts and actions are explored in order to better understand the client's problems and to develop solutions. I work with a variety of formats, including individually, as couples, and as families.

I love working with adults seeking help to process a life event or past trauma. My clients seek help dealing with symptoms of anxiety, depression, burn out, irritability, physical issues like migraines or digestive problems, or just wondering why they respond the way they do. Most are coping with more feelings than usual, healing from a loss, and hope to feel like themselves again. Other clients may be aware of unhealed trauma from childhood that they now feel ready to process.

Are you having trouble adjusting to changes in your life, such as a loss of a relationship, difficult event, or shifts in career/job? Therapy can be useful in helping individuals cope with stress, and improve relationships with significant others, family members, and self. New Orleans Counseling & Hypnosis Center (NOCHC) values the healing qualities of a strong relationship between client and therapist. At NOCHC we use psycho-education to encourage better coping skills and self-care. NOCHC provides options to incorporate clinical hypnosis into treatment for those that are interested.

We all struggle throughout life and I was no exception. Acknowledging the struggle is a huge step towards success along with finding the right therapist.

We will work together to find ways in which your thoughts/beliefs about yourself & others may be causing emotional distress in your life or your relationships.

Navigating adversity while maintaining self-compassion can be difficult. I strive to provide person centered care to individuals, families and couples.

I will collaborate with you to develop an individual, and personalized plan, consistent with your values and goals, and using research-based methods to assist you in achieving long-term, positive changes.

My love for helping others overcome life challenges stems from my early days in college when I was a member of the service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega. This organization introduced me to community based service projects that were life changing.

Reaching out for help can be hard. Many times we take two steps forward and fall back because it is familiar, comfortable, or maybe we don’t know what step to take next. Therapy can be used to explore options and scenarios, mull over decisions, or navigate and process conflicting feelings while being in a judgment-free environment. If you are struggling with family and/or peer relationships, life transitions, stress, depression, anxiety, or grief, we can work together to reach your desired lifestyle. I also have extensive experience with those who have loved ones struggle with substance use and mental health issues.
