Therapists in New Orleans, LA

I believe individuals are the experts of their own lives based on their experiences, but sometimes need guidance to grow and move toward wholeness and health. I provide therapeutic services in a collaborative form for adolescents and adults dealing with depression and anxiety. I work with my clients to provide an individualized and compassionate plan that incorporates techniques and interventions from various theories. We work together to heal and process painful experiences while learning healthy skills to move forward, promote growth and positive changes. Together, we work to achieve optimal balance and wellness.

I am a licensed Professional Counselor and a Qualified Family and Divorce Mediator, and Parenting Coordinator. I received my Master's degree from Our Lady of Holy Cross College and my mediation training through The Mediation Institute. My experience is working with children, adolescents and adults of all ages. I also work with families and couples.

I view counseling as a collaborative relationship between the client and the counselor. This collaborative relationship allows the client and therapist to work together to address issues the client is facing through the development of mutually agreed upon clinical and personal goals. During therapy, I focus on patterns of thoughts, behaviors, moods, and communication that may contribute to client distress. I often address these issues utilizing Person-Centered, Systems, Cogitative Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (evidenced-based therapeutic practices).

I provide empathy & compassion to create a safe space for people to heal. Together we create a therapeutic relationship that allows for creativity & reflection. The human psyche can be a rather dark place. I shine light on areas that need attention. Ultimately, this helps us learn what is needed for you to grow & thrive. I have worked in shelters for unhoused teenagers & families, correctional facilities, organizations for survivors of domestic violence & sexual assault & on the behavioral health unit at a hospital for children & teenagers. I focus on psycho-somatic practices to bring balance into the lives of my clients.

We often find ourselves moving through life feeling disconnected, anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. As your therapist, I'm here to help you manage anxiety, reconnect to your values, and empower you to take meaningful steps towards your goals through our therapeutic alliance. My ideal client populations are teens, young adults, and adults. I help people struggling with anxiety and depression and relationship concerns. I also work with couples hoping to bring healing to their relationship. I especially love helping people with parenting concerns.

We are not just minds, just bodies, just hearts--we are all these things at once, so in my practice I enjoy incorporating a variety of therapeutic methods to reach a holistic solution. In each session, I blend my over 17 years of experience as a licensed social worker with my passion for fitness and health and interest in yoga and mindfulness techniques. My clients receive constructive, comprehensive support as they cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief.

We all have problems, habits and "quirks" of personality and wonder sometimes when life gets rough, whether we need therapy or if it would be a good option. When life is getting on top of you, when you begin to feel strong emotions that you didn't know that you had, when you feel lost or hopeless or just want to reach your full potential, then give yourself a chance to seek a new solution. I can help. I believe that each individual is creative and unique and that there is no "one" way to be happy or live life. For New Orleans I offer virtual, telehealth appointments & EMDR and Gottman Relationship Counseling.

As a mostly Adlerian therapist, I will help clients to explore their behavior patterns which may be interfering with attaining their goals. In order to do this, together we will examine each individual's readiness for change, how fear/anxiety plays a role in keeping them from changing behaviors and explore interpersonal/family relationships. To facilitate the most insight and emotional growth as possible for clients, my goal is to create a comfortable, non-judgemental and confidential environment. Through this environment and exploration clients will be better able to set and attain healthy goals and lifestyles.

Depression, anxiety, and compulsive behaviors are common symptoms that my clients have struggled with; through the exploration of their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors many clients experience personal growth and symptom relief. LGBTQ+ clients are welcome! It can be a difficult decision to begin therapy, but once you have made the decision; you have begun the process of change.
