Hi. I'm a proud LSU Alumni with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Religous Studies along with a Master' Degree in Social Work. I have a passion for empowering others and helping them navigate through life's difficulties so they can live their life to the fullest. My professional experience ranges from addictions, mental health, and geriatric care to my most recent position as a hospice social worker.
I'm a retired U.S. Army veteran with more than 30 years of experience supporting others through life's challenges. Over 26 of those years were spent walking alongside troops — listening, guiding, and helping them navigate the weight of service. That experience clarified my path, and in 2015 I became a Licensed Professional Counselor.
Whether or not it's my calling, I know this: I'm good at what I do, and I care deeply about the people I work with. My approach reflects the things I love most in life, including a strong belief in the healing power of animals. I've seen firsthand how they meet needs we don't always recognize we have — offering comfort, connection, and a kind of understanding that words sometimes can't reach.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Louisiana
Searching for therapists in Louisiana starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Across urban and rural parts of the state, available therapists and specialties can vary, so it helps to look for someone whose training matches what you want to address. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, review their listed specialties, therapy style, and experience with approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Location and format also matter when choosing a Louisiana therapist. If you live in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, or a smaller community, your options may look different based on local availability. Some people prefer in-person sessions, while others choose virtual appointments for easier scheduling. You can also narrow your search by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their approach, what a first session may involve, and whether their communication style feels like a good fit.
The cost of therapy in Louisiana varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find Louisiana therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare available appointments in one place. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm your coverage for your location and plan before your first session. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
