Grief Therapists in Mid-City, New Orleans, LA

My varied work history has afforded me the opportunity to work with individuals and families facing a wide range of life challenges. I have the most experience in working with those suffering from anxiety and/or depressive disorders, coping with grief / loss , experiencing family conflict or interpersonal difficulties, or dealing with the lasting impact of traumatic experience. I primarily work with individuals but understand the role and importance of family and therefore include family members as necessary. I view my role as helping the individual to define existing problems, identify realistic goals, and actualize those goals.

If you're looking to develop positive change, manage a mental health disorder, or talk about what's bothering you, I'm here to help you with that process. Making the decision to begin therapy is difficult. The concern/feeling you're having right now is important to address and probably won't be gone in the morning. I try to create a comfortable, calm, judgement-free environment to discuss anything ranging from life changes, addiction, depression, divorce, death / grief , etc. Therapy sessions are tailored to each client since we're all different. I enjoying working with individuals, couples, & families.

My focus with each client is one of a caring and compassionate manner using a holistic and cognitive behavioral approach to help each individual or family obtain their goal.

Welcome! I'll be taking new clients in the beginning of February 2023. I believe in a collaborative counseling relationship; you’ve known yourself all your life, and I’m just getting the opportunity to meet you. Therefore, the first part of therapy involves learning how you approach and view the world. Then, together, we’ll identify how therapy can meet your needs and assess progress along the way. I have a passion for working with adults in life transitions navigating higher education, career changes, relationships, and grief / loss .
