Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in New Orleans, LA

After more than 20 years of working with children and families in the school system, I now provide virtual therapy to reach and support more people navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, stress management challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Many of my clients struggle with emotional regulation, feeling overwhelmed, attention and focus concerns, family conflict, academic stress, or feeling stuck in patterns that impact daily life. Family dynamics and personal relationships are often at the heart of these challenges. My approach is creative, engaging, and intentionally different from traditional talk therapy. I incorporate music, humor, interactive exercises, and experiential techniques to help reduce anxiety, build coping skills, and make it easier to process difficult emotions in a supportive, welcoming space.

Therapy isn't about fixing who you are. It's about understanding what's getting in your way. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, men's issues, or simply feeling stuck, we'll work together to identify patterns that are no longer serving you, build on your strengths, and create meaningful change that extends beyond our sessions.

With nearly a decade of experience working with adolescents and adults, I believe therapy should be practical, collaborative, and focused on helping you move forward. My goal isn't simply to help you feel better during our sessions, but to help you build the confidence, perspective, and practical tools you can use in everyday life. Whether you're navigating depression, trauma, relationship challenges, family conflict, grief, men's issues, or a major life transition, I'll help you better understand what's keeping you stuck while creating realistic strategies that support lasting growth.

Therapy and the journey to self-exploration can be hard. Together, we can navigate your path toward improved mental health and emotional well-being. My approach is solution-focused, centered on the immediate obstacles you are facing. While how you got here matters, what you choose to do next can have an even greater impact. As a clinical social worker with experience across private practice, hospital social work, parenting education, and community care, I bring a broad range of experience to support us in working through challenges together.

Struggling to deal with a life filled with anxiety, depression, stressful relationships, or having difficulties coping with life after traumatic events? Are you having difficulties finding meaning and motivation? Having personally experienced major life changing events, I believe there are numerous paths to your personal recovery. With over 20 years of experience in the field, I know that where there is life there is hope. It's not too late to start living again!

Getting care for your mental health should feel like a step forward, not another obstacle. As a dual certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in Louisiana, I bring experience across both primary care and psychiatry so I can see the whole picture of your wellbeing. Whether you're working through anxiety, navigating mood challenges, or just figuring out where to start, I'll meet you where you are. My practice is fully telehealth, flexible, and designed around your schedule.
