Hello, thanks for stopping by. I’m here to offer a calm, compassionate space where you can finally start to feel understood. I know life can be complicated, especially when you're navigating Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, or Autism. My goal is to help you (or your child, age 5+) manage these challenges and discover a path toward feeling more at ease and confident.

What Makes Working With Me Different? My journey to becoming a counselor didn't start in an office; it started the day I was born. Growing up as one of eleven children, I was fortunate to have many siblings with special needs—including siblings with Autism, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety and Learning Disabilities. This taught me something invaluable: true, deep patience, kindness, and compassion.

For over 20 years, I honed this understanding as both a High School Counselor and Special Education teacher.

Since I offer teletherapy only, you can start your journey to feeling better from the comfort of your own home. Our first session together is simple: it’s all about getting to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you here, your goals, and what a "good day" looks like for you. It’s a low-pressure conversation where you can feel safe and heard.

Ready to Connect?

I truly care about helping you feel your best, and I’ve got the patience and experience to see you through it. If you’re ready to start finding that inner calm, I encourage you to reach out.

Therapist

Virtual • Louisiana


I’m a client-centered therapist with more than 14 years of experience working as a mental health provider, addictions counselor, and group therapy facilitator. I work with adults and older teens who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, substance use, recovery, or major life transitions.

I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel uncomfortable or overwhelming, especially when life already feels heavy. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. I believe therapy works best when there is a genuine connection, and I strive to build that connection through honesty, compassion, and trust.

I’m passionate about helping people better understand themselves, develop healthier coping skills, and move toward lasting emotional wellness. Whether you are facing a difficult season, feeling stuck, or simply looking for support and guidance, I’m committed to helping you navigate those challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

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 Mental Health Therapist in Baton Rouge, LA

Searching for therapists in Baton Rouge starts with finding someone whose training matches the care you want. Therapists may support people living with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and population experience that fit your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand their style, areas of focus, and what sessions may look like before you book.

Baton Rouge has a range of therapy options across neighborhoods like Mid City, Gardere, Beauregard, and nearby areas. You may prefer in-person therapy in Baton Rouge if a local office fits your routine, or virtual sessions if your schedule, commute, or access to transportation makes that format easier. To narrow your search, review appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading bios can also help you compare communication style and decide which Baton Rouge therapist may be a strong fit.

Therapy in Baton Rouge can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show an estimated session cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Baton Rouge, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

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