Therapist

Hello, thanks for stopping by. I’m here to offer a calm, compassionate space where you can finally start to feel understood. I know life can be complicated, especially when you're navigating Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, or Autism. My goal is to help you (or your child, age 5+) manage these challenges and discover a path toward feeling more at ease and confident.

What Makes Working With Me Different? My journey to becoming a counselor didn't start in an office; it started the day I was born. Growing up as one of eleven children, I was fortunate to have many siblings with special needs—including siblings with Autism, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety and Learning Disabilities. This taught me something invaluable: true, deep patience, kindness, and compassion.

For over 20 years, I honed this understanding as both a High School Counselor and Special Education teacher.

Since I offer teletherapy only, you can start your journey to feeling better from the comfort of your own home. Our first session together is simple: it’s all about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you here, your goals, and what a "good day" looks like for you. It’s a low-pressure conversation where you can feel safe and heard.

Ready to Connect?

I truly care about helping you feel your best, and I’ve got the patience and experience to see you through it. If you’re ready to start finding that inner calm, I encourage you to reach out.

After 27 years as a social worker, I still believe good therapy starts with really listening. I work with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, and the stress that comes with big life transitions. My years in community mental health taught me that care should feel accessible, not intimidating. I'd love to help you find steadier ground.

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 Therapist in Shreveport

Searching for therapists in Shreveport starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Shreveport therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match your needs. Provider bios can also help you understand how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and works with people seeking similar care.

In a mid-size city like Shreveport, your options may include therapists with offices near areas like South Highlands, Highland, Broadmoor, and downtown, along with therapists who offer virtual appointments across Louisiana. In-person care may work well if location and commute are important. Virtual therapy may fit better if you need more scheduling flexibility. Before booking, compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation so you can assess fit.

Therapy in Shreveport can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more accessible. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

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