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.

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.
