With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I am deeply committed to helping individuals and families heal, grow, and reconnect with their strengths.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, and families, helping them navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, and the impact of trauma. I believe therapy should be a safe space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to move forward with confidence.

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


If you’re here, you might be feeling weighed down by stress, sadness, or worry that seems hard to shake. On the outside you show up, get things done, and care for the people around you...but inside, it can feel heavy and exhausting. I want you to know you don’t have to carry that alone.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with over 15 years of experience. My background includes helping adults work through anxiety, depression, and the lingering effects of past hurts. My approach is supportive and down-to-earth: we’ll move at your pace, focusing on practical tools and new ways of thinking that can help you find balance, clarity, and peace.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe place where you are truly heard and understood. Together, we’ll work to uncover what’s been holding you back, strengthen your confidence, and build the life you want to live.

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 Mental Health Therapist in Monroe, LA

Searching for therapists in Monroe starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare Monroe therapists, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and focus areas that align with your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their style, the concerns they commonly work with, and what sessions may be like.

In a smaller city like Monroe, the number of nearby in-person options may be more limited than in larger Louisiana markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Louisiana. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, clinical background, and scheduling fit in one place.

Therapy in Monroe can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who take insurance, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you schedule directly when you are ready. You can browse therapists in Monroe, review bios, check insurance fit, and choose someone who matches your needs and schedule.

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