I have been practicing since May 2012 and am one of only eight certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) specialists in the state of Louisiana. I received my training at a VA hospital, where I worked extensively with veterans, gaining deep experience in trauma-informed care.

Over the course of my career, I have worked across all levels of care, which uniquely equips me to support clients in crisis and navigate difficult, emotionally intense situations during sessions. I am also a certified trauma specialist, and I firmly believe that recovery and renewed hope are possible for every client I serve.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist 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 Baton Rouge

Finding the right therapist in Baton Rouge starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or trauma — or broader mental health care like medication management from a psychiatrist. Baton Rouge has a large provider community, with licensed professionals including LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, and psychologists practicing across the city.

Once you know what type of care you need, focus on the practical details that make a provider the right match. Look at their specialties, therapy style, and whether they offer in-person sessions in your part of Baton Rouge or virtual appointments. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach before you commit. A free phone consultation — available through many providers on Headway — can also help you decide if you've found the right fit.

Therapy in Baton Rouge can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see an estimated session cost before you book, so there are no surprises when it comes to what you owe.
