Our therapists offer counseling for anxiety & depression in New Orleans, LA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience helping children, adolescents, young adults, and college students navigate life’s challenges. I work with clients facing anxiety, depression, loneliness, ADHD, relationship issues, life transitions, and parenting stress. I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel understood, valued, and empowered to begin their healing journey.

I earned my Doctorate in Counselor Education from the University of New Orleans. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and active listening. I draw from evidence-based practices to meet each client’s unique needs and believe a genuine connection is the foundation for lasting change.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I invite you to take the first step toward healing by reaching out. If we are a good fit, we will work together to create meaningful progress. If not, I encourage you to keep looking until you find the support that feels right for you.

After many years in social work, I've come to believe that the most effective therapy doesn't come from a one-size-fits-all approach, but from meeting you exactly where you are. I believe in deeply individualized care, partnering with you to identify your goals and help you make rapid, meaningful progress. With a unique perspective shaped by my own journey through challenges and trauma, I offer an open-minded, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly understood and empowered to heal. 

My approach is client-centered and eclectic—I tailor my methods to your unique needs rather than one fixed style. I draw on CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy and specialize in trauma-informed care and grief counseling. Whether processing trauma, facing a crisis, or adjusting to change, I'm here to create a space where you feel heard and empowered.

I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to act as a supportive guide on your journey toward healing. You've already shown immense strength by looking for support. Let's work together to build on that strength - I invite you to book your first appointment today and to begin the next chapter.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) with over 12 years of experience working with adolescents and adults within the mental health field. I have conducted individual and group therapy with individuals who may struggle with depression, anxiety, suicidal idealization, trauma, and grief.

I obtained my Doctorate degree in Philosophy from Walden University, Master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling degree from Louisiana State University Health Science Center (LSUHSC), and a Bachelor's degree in Rehabilitation & Disability Studies from Southern University A&M College. I utilize multiple treatment approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solutions-focused brief therapy (SFBT), and mindfulness.

We each come to therapy searching for change, understanding, and relief. I believe counseling helps you accept what you cannot change and focus on what you can. Counseling is a personal journey to reach your goals, overcome struggles, and empower yourself. If you're ready to put in the work, I look forward to establishing a collaborative relationship with you.
