Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Slidell, LA

Hello and congratulations for taking the first and sometimes hardest step of looking for a therapist. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of IN, KY LA, MO, NV, TX, WA and WV. I have the great privilege of working with adolescents and adults seeking assistance in improving their overall mental health and associated challenges. I’ve been in the behavioral health arena for over 40 years and have held numerous direct care and clinical leadership roles in a variety of settings. My joy comes from helping people navigate life's challenges.

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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals, adolescents, young adults, and families through challenging life experiences. I understand that opening up to someone you’ve never met can feel intimidating, and my goal is to create a calm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe sharing your story. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, complex trauma, relationship struggles, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions that can leave people feeling stuck or uncertain about how to move forward.

My experience includes working in private practice and community-based settings with adolescents and young adults who may be at risk or navigating difficult family dynamics, identity development, stress, and trauma-related challenges. I have also trained in play therapy and incorporate developmentally appropriate techniques when working with younger clients. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from the Tulane University School of Social Work and strongly believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of meaningful change. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, reading, and walking my little black dog, Buddy!

My goal as a therapist is to help people feel less alone in whatever they may be facing whether it be depression, anxiety, relationship or identity issues, grief or panic. You may feel overwhelmed by life or perhaps trapped in it. Either way, there is a path forward.

You may have spent so much time surviving that you've forgotten what it feels like to truly feel at peace. Anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, anger, or painful life experiences can leave you emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, and wondering if things will ever get easier. You don't have to carry those burdens alone. I partner with individuals navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, stress management, and anger management so they can regain emotional balance, strengthen their relationships, and move forward with greater confidence and hope. Working with adolescents, adults, and seniors, I strive to create a compassionate, judgment free space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to create lasting change.

I am a Psychology Professor, Ordained Minister, Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor in MS and LA, having been a therapist for 30 years. I am also a wife and mother of 3 adult daughters.

I am a dedicated and compassionate counselor with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Concordia University Wisconsin. I have experience working in substance abuse treatment, as well as providing individual and group therapy in both mental health clinic settings and public schools.

My clinical background includes supporting clients in diverse environments, where I have provided mental health services to individuals, adolescents, and groups. I am experienced in addressing substance use challenges alongside a range of mental health concerns.

My approach integrates evidence-based practices, including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.

I specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients suffering from various mental illnesses including, but not limited to ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and psychotic disorders.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's of Science in Social Work from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I have over 13 years of experience helping adults, teens, children and families in the midst of significant life transitions.

In my practice, I help adolescents and adults overcome challenges related to anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and other life issues.
