My path to psychiatric care is a little different from most. I spent over a decade as an Obstetrics Nurse before transitioning into psychiatric mental health — and that background deeply shapes how I show up for my clients. I understand the weight of life transitions, the complexity of the mind-body connection, and the importance of feeling truly supported. Now, as a PMHNP, I bring that same compassionate, whole-person perspective to mental health care.

Mental health care should feel like a conversation, not an interrogation.

I believe the best outcomes happen when patient's feel heard, respected, and are actively involved in their treatment. My approach involves a team approach and is honest and hands on. I take the time to understand the whole person —not just a diagnosis— so we can create a treatment plan that fits your goals, values, and lifestyle.

You are the expert on your life. I’m the expert on mental health. The best care happens when we combine both.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

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

Finding the right psychiatrist in Louisiana starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and in some cases provide therapy. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or PTSD, a psychiatrist may be the right fit. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also prescribe and manage medication and are another option available through Headway.

Louisiana has a wide range of mental health providers, but availability can vary depending on where you live. Major metro areas like New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lafayette tend to have more options, while rural parishes may have fewer in-person providers. Virtual appointments can help bridge that gap, giving you access to licensed psychiatrists across the state from wherever you are.

Psychiatry sessions in Louisiana can be costly without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
