Grief counselors and therapists in Metairie, LA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience working with adults. I approach therapy as a relational process, not a place where you come to be fixed. You’re not a problem to solve; you’re a person with a history, patterns that make sense, and a way of being in the world that developed for a reason.

Therapy doesn't have to be intimidating-it's simply a space to talk, reflect, and grow. If you're ready to start that process, I'm here to help you take the next step. I work with adults and adolescents facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, end of life, and relationship issues.

I received my master's degree in social work from Louisiana State University, and I am clinically licensed to practice in Louisiana and Texas. I am an Advanced Certified Hospice and Palliative Social Worker with an extensive background in medical social work. I also, have inpatient adult psychiatric experience. Currently, I provide therapeutic interventions to adolescents in a high school-based health center.

I utilize practical, evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), problem solving/solution-focused techniques, and strength-based approaches to help manage negative symptoms.

I’m a psychiatrist with more than 20 years of clinical experience, including work in outpatient mental health, inpatient psychiatry, and community-based care. I also completed fellowship training in child and adolescent psychiatry. After years in clinical practice, I now serve as a behavioral health medical director and am returning to patient care because I genuinely miss the connection and impact of working directly with patients. I bring a broad clinical perspective and a thoughtful, experienced approach to care.

I have been a LPC for over 10 years and have worked with a very diverse group of clients. They range in age from 6 to 60. I specialize in adolescents and trauma. I have also worked with depression, anxiety, personal relationships, parenting problems, addictions, emotional abuse, and physical trauma.

I work well with young adults and adults, particularly women, navigating complex emotions and experiences. Together we'll explore how your thoughts, emotions, body, environment, relationships, and past shape how you feel and act today. Using evidence-based approaches, I help clients build insight and practical tools. We might shift unhelpful thought patterns, develop coping strategies, learn to regulate emotions, and explore your inner world to better understand your relationship to the outside world. I bring in mindfulness techniques to help you connect with yourself as you work through challenges, heal, and grow.
