I also bring a strong sense of fairness that helps me connect with clients making sense of hurt and confusion.

I facilitate therapy using a Strengths-Based and CBT approach.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I hold a license with the Louisiana LPC Board of Examiners in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and work with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with men, women, and children of various ages experiencing difficulties that affect mood, thinking, and behavior.

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and grounded space from the beginning. I meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges. I also specialize in complex and developmental trauma.
I support clients in integrating their spiritual and cultural values into therapy when desired and clinically appropriate. I was born in New Orleans and bring a culturally informed perspective shaped by my Latina, Indigenous, Christian, and Sephardic Jewish backgrounds.
I became a therapist because I have a deep commitment to helping people recognize and build their own strengths, especially during periods of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I work to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the process.
I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) and PhD from Tulane University, as well as a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana and Texas, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota. I also hold a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), Licensed Prevention Professional (LPP), and Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP).
Kayla, a licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in community mental health, recognized the profound disparities in access to mental health care within BIPOC communities.

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 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.
