Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Metairie, LA covered by Aetna

Many of the people I work with carry experiences they've never felt fully safe putting into words — survivors of trauma and domestic violence, and clients caught in emotional or relationship patterns that feel impossible to shake. Some come in saying they "should be over this by now." Others describe feeling braced all the time, or unsure why the same painful patterns keep showing up. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to explain it perfectly to be understood.

Hi, I'm Rob. I believe therapy works best when you feel accepted, understood, and free to be yourself. I strive to meet people where they are and create a space where you can talk openly without fear of judgment. I work with adults and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, grief and loss, stress, anger, ADHD, and men's issues. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or stuck in patterns they no longer want to repeat. Whether you're struggling with addiction, coping with loss, dealing with difficult emotions, or trying to make sense of life's challenges, you don't have to do it alone. With more than two decades of experience, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and develop practical tools that support long-term emotional health and personal growth. For clients who request it, I also incorporate Christian counseling into our work together.

Hello! I work with client's who struggle with anxiety, depression, substance use, stress, and etc. Over the past years I have developed my counseling skills to help others achieve their goals and needs they are wanting to accomplish in their counseling journey.

I believe in empathy and taking a realistic but human approach to counseling. We all fight battles behind the scenes and are deserving of grace and humility.

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and grounded space from the beginning. I meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges. I also specialize in complex and developmental trauma.

I support clients in integrating their spiritual and cultural values into therapy when desired and clinically appropriate. I was born in New Orleans and bring a culturally informed perspective shaped by my Latina, Indigenous, Christian, and Sephardic Jewish backgrounds.

I became a therapist because I have a deep commitment to helping people recognize and build their own strengths, especially during periods of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I work to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the process.

I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) and PhD from Tulane University, as well as a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana and Texas, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota. I also hold a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), Licensed Prevention Professional (LPP), and Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP).

Therapy is personal, and I believe it should feel that way. With nearly nine years of experience, I've learned that meaningful change happens when clients feel comfortable enough to let their guard down and simply be themselves. My sessions are conversational, genuine, and often include humor when it's helpful, so clients frequently leave feeling like they've had a real conversation instead of a formal counseling session while also gaining practical, evidence-based strategies they can apply in everyday life. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with other evidence-based approaches, to help clients create lasting change.

Kayla, a licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in community mental health, recognized the profound disparities in access to mental health care within BIPOC communities. Inspired by a vision of creating a space where healing is both inclusive and affordable, she founded Helen’s Project with the belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of their background or financial situation.​​Helen’s Project operates on the principle that culturally competent and empathetic mental health care is essential for holistic well-being. The organization collaborates with a diverse team of mental health professionals who not only possess clinical expertise but also understand the unique cultural nuances and challenges faced by the BIPOC community.

Core Values are one of the foundational components of the work I do. Exploring where core values come from, how thoughts interact with core values, and when adjustments to those core values are being considered can help us land in the current moment with a bit more clarity/compassion.
