I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes that healing happens best in spaces that are safe, honest, and non-judgmental. I work with those who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the effects of trauma.
My approach is collaborative and practical. We will focus on understanding what’s showing up in your life, identifying patterns that may be holding you back, and developing tools you can use in real-world situations. I don’t believe in perfection—I believe in progress.
Clients often describe me as direct, supportive, and easy to talk to. I meet you where you are while also helping you move toward where you want to be. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something different, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
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.
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.
My area of focus is individual therapy within the adolescent and adult population. My clients have described me as a calm and compassionate counselor. I have experience working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, mood instability or anger management.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New Orleans
Searching for therapists in New Orleans starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life changes. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want to work on. It can also help to review their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
New Orleans has therapists across neighborhoods such as the French Quarter, Marigny, Bywater, Uptown, and Mid-City, with both in-person and virtual appointments available. If office location matters, consider commute time, parking, and how the appointment fits into your week. If schedule flexibility matters more, virtual therapy may give you more options. As you compare New Orleans therapists, review availability, whether they are accepting new clients, and any free consultation options. A therapist’s bio can also show how they communicate, structure sessions, and describe their work.
Therapy in New Orleans can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find therapists, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs after you enter your insurance details, and lets you book directly when you find a match. Browse therapists in New Orleans, review profiles, and choose someone who fits your needs, schedule, and insurance plan.
