I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Arizona and Louisiana with over 17 years of experience in trauma-informed psychotherapy. I earned my Master of Social Work from Tulane University in 2008 and have worked across inpatient and outpatient treatment settings, university counseling, grief and bereavement care, and trauma-focused programs. I am EMDR trained (finalizing certification) and integrate CBT, DBT, IFS-informed parts work, somatic approaches, and mindfulness-based therapies.
I specialize in complex PTSD, sexual trauma, religious and spiritual trauma, attachment wounds, ADHD, anxiety, and shame-based relational patterns. Many of the individuals I work with are high-functioning on the outside but feel lost, fragmented, or deeply self-critical on the inside.
Clients often describe me as warm, loving, affirming, and validating. I also bring a teacher’s heart into the room. I believe understanding how trauma impacts the nervous system, relationships, and even women’s biological health helps reduce shame and restore clarity. I see therapy as sacred work. You are not a diagnosis to me; you are a whole person whose nervous system learned to survive.

My goal is for you to feel supported, empowered, and never alone in your healing journey.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Shreveport
Finding postpartum therapists in Shreveport starts with looking for care that matches your specific needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity changes, and relationship strain. Some therapists also support concerns during pregnancy and the broader perinatal period. As you compare options, look for therapists who list postpartum, perinatal mental health, or maternal mental health in their specialties. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health care.
In a mid-size city like Shreveport, you may find a mix of local therapists and virtual options across the area. For new parents, practical details often matter as much as specialty. An unpredictable schedule, infant care, physical recovery, or returning to work can shape which therapist is a usable fit. Virtual appointments can make it easier to access postpartum support from home, while in-person sessions may work well if you prefer a dedicated office setting. Review therapist bios for details about scheduling, approach, and experience with postpartum concerns before you book.
Therapy in Shreveport can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, review their bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. Many therapists on Headway accept insurance, and coverage depends on your plan and location. You can browse therapists, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
