When I started undergrad at LSU, I always knew I wanted to pursue a private practice in therapy. I completed my MSW at LSU to later achieve my license in clinical social work. I was fortunate to serve in many different settings (healthcare, schools, families, etc.) where I found a common concern in all of them- the need for therapy.
Now that I am in this position working with individuals in therapy, I don't take for granted the unique opportunity I have with each client I get to work with.
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.
What sets us apart from many other therapists is the fact we actually help you help yourself make the necessary changes in your life by giving you tools to achieve your goals. You’ll almost always walk out of a session with a new technique that you can go home and start using immediately.
I am a compassionate and dedicated nurse practitioner specializing in psychiatric mental health. I integrate evidence-based practice with a holistic approach to support patients in achieving emotional balance and overall wellness. With dual certification in family and psychiatric care, I bring a comprehensive perspective to treatment, addressing both physical and mental health needs. My professional focus includes promoting accessible, patient-centered care through telehealth and integrative health strategies.
When I tell you I love what I do, I love what I do! I am not hear to manage symptoms, I'm here to heal. As a current doctoral student, I value continued education to maintain the highest form of evidence-based care for my clients. I walk the walk of healing and believe every therapist should do the same.

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.
