I've spent years meeting people where they are — literally going out into communities across Louisiana to provide psychiatric care. Now I'm channeling that same commitment into a private telehealth practice, where you can get the support you need from home. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, or PTSD, I offer a flexible, welcoming space for real, lasting progress. Evenings and weekends work for me — I built my schedule around people who can't step away from their day to get the help they deserve.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

My path to psychiatric care is a little different from most. I spent over a decade as an Obstetrics Nurse before transitioning into psychiatric mental health — and that background deeply shapes how I show up for my clients. I understand the weight of life transitions, the complexity of the mind-body connection, and the importance of feeling truly supported. Now, as a PMHNP, I bring that same compassionate, whole-person perspective to mental health care.

Mental health care should feel like a conversation, not an interrogation.

I believe the best outcomes happen when patient's feel heard, respected, and are actively involved in their treatment. My approach involves a team approach and is honest and hands on. I take the time to understand the whole person —not just a diagnosis— so we can create a treatment plan that fits your goals, values, and lifestyle.

You are the expert on your life. I’m the expert on mental health. The best care happens when we combine both.

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Louisiana

Finding psychiatrists in Louisiana starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Therapists provide talk therapy and support through methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed therapy, or other listed approaches. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, review each psychiatrist’s specialties, training, and bio to see whether their experience matches your needs.

Across Louisiana, available psychiatric care can vary between larger areas like New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport, as well as smaller towns and rural communities. Some people prefer in-person appointments, while others choose virtual visits for scheduling flexibility or wider access to psychiatrists across the state. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their profile says about communication style and session structure.

Psychiatric care in Louisiana can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and take your plan. Nationally, Headway partners with many insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before booking, then review bios and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
