4200 South I-10 Service Road West, Metairie, LA

When I started undergrad at LSU, I always knew I wanted to pursue a private practice in therapy. I completed my MSW at LSU to later achieve my license in clinical social work. I was fortunate to serve in many different settings (healthcare, schools, families, etc.) where I found a common concern in all of them- the need for therapy.

Now that I am in this position working with individuals in therapy, I don't take for granted the unique opportunity I have with each client I get to work with.

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals, adolescents, young adults, and families through challenging life experiences. I understand that opening up to someone you’ve never met can feel intimidating, and my goal is to create a calm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe sharing your story. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, complex trauma, relationship struggles, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions that can leave people feeling stuck or uncertain about how to move forward.

My experience includes working in private practice and community-based settings with adolescents and young adults who may be at risk or navigating difficult family dynamics, identity development, stress, and trauma-related challenges. I have also trained in play therapy and incorporate developmentally appropriate techniques when working with younger clients. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from the Tulane University School of Social Work and strongly believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of meaningful change. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, reading, and walking my little black dog, Buddy!

Sometimes the weight you have been carrying has been there so long it just starts to feel normal. Whether you are working through anxiety, grief, depression, or the lasting effects of trauma, or you are a parent watching your child or teenager struggle and searching for someone who can really help, you deserve a therapist who takes the relationship seriously. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and after more than 20 years in this field, I still believe that nothing meaningful happens without trust. Clients often describe me as a genuine thought partner, someone who listens carefully and meets them where they are.

Find the right therapist 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 Therapist in Metairie

Searching for therapists in Metairie starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which specialties match your needs. Some people look for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that align with what you want to work on. A therapist’s bio can also show their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.

Metairie has local counseling options, but the number of nearby therapists may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual appointments can expand your options across Louisiana while still connecting you with a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand communication style, session structure, and what to expect.

Therapy in Metairie can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see your estimated cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Metairie, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
