With more than 30 years as a licensed clinical psychologist, I have worked with nearly every struggle a person can carry, from anxiety, depression, and PTSD to bipolar disorder, anger, and substance use. I see adolescents, adults, and seniors in Metairie, Louisiana, in person or by telehealth, ready to help you find steadier ground.
My style is steady and direct, shaped by three decades split between inpatient psychiatric care and private outpatient practice. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused CBT, psychodynamic work, solution-focused brief therapy, and emotion-focused therapy, fitting the approach to what you're carrying rather than using one method for everyone. I also work with couples and families, using behavioral couples therapy and family-focused therapy when relationships are part of the picture. I began offering telehealth for people who can't easily reach an office, including patients following a hospital stay who need steady follow-up care without the burden of transportation.
Our first session is a conversation, not an interrogation: I'll ask about what brought you in and what you're hoping changes. From there, I'll lay out a plan built around your specific situation, drawing on whichever approach fits best. I have supported patients through severe crises and everyday struggles alike, so whatever you're carrying, I've likely seen something like it before. You can expect a provider who is direct, experienced, and easy to talk to.
