I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals, adolescents, young adults, and families through challenging life experiences. I understand that opening up to someone you’ve never met can feel intimidating, and my goal is to create a calm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe sharing your story. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, complex trauma, relationship struggles, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions that can leave people feeling stuck or uncertain about how to move forward.

My experience includes working in private practice and community-based settings with adolescents and young adults who may be at risk or navigating difficult family dynamics, identity development, stress, and trauma-related challenges. I have also trained in play therapy and incorporate developmentally appropriate techniques when working with younger clients. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from the Tulane University School of Social Work and strongly believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of meaningful change. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, reading, and walking my little black dog, Buddy!

I work with adults and children who feel overwhelmed by painful experiences, difficult memories, or life circumstances that have left them feeling stuck. If you've been carrying grief, trauma, anger, or emotions that feel hard to manage on your own, you don't have to sort through it alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, better understand what you're going through, and begin moving toward healing with support, honesty, and hope.

I bring to my work both professional ( LCSW/ Social Work) training and decades of lived experience. As a first generation American who grew up on the Louisiana bayous, I have traveled widely through Europe, India and many other parts of the world immersing myself in diverse cultures, faiths, and perspectives. I am well versed in the arena of substance abuse and recovery work. I have supported people through the dying process, grief and loss; and, have helped many walk through their fears, their sense of hopelessness, despair and lack of purpose. I approach anxiety and depression holistically by focusing on the mind/ body/ spirit connection. My own journey has taught me that healing is always possible and that we are all WORKS IN PROGRESS.

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 New Orleans

Finding the right therapist in New Orleans starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions — and look for a licensed provider who specializes in those areas. Common license types in Louisiana include LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, and psychologists, and each brings a different training background to their work.

New Orleans has a wide range of mental health providers practicing across neighborhoods like Uptown, Mid-City, the Garden District, Lakeview, and the French Quarter. Narrowing your options can feel like a lot, especially when you're also weighing logistics like scheduling, session format, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual visits. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

Therapy in New Orleans can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to see estimated costs upfront, so you know what to expect before your first appointment.

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