I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have a MSW in social work and a BA in Psyhcology with a minor in African American studies. My educational background and career include extensive work with transitional age youth, teens, children and families and other disenfranchised populations.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.
I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.
Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.

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.
