My approach is trauma-informed and collaborative, with a focus on creating safety, fostering self‐compassion, and helping you move toward a more balanced, meaningful life. I work with individuals and couples, recognizing how stress, mood, and life circumstances shape emotional patterns, connection, and how your body responds to stress. I’m committed to offering a steady, thoughtful space where your values, boundaries, and goals guide our work at a pace that feels right for you.

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.
