New Orleans, LA, is known for many things: Mardi Gras, world-class Cajun and Creole cuisine, distinctive architecture, Bourbon Street, and jazz music, to name a few. Roughly 18.5 million people visit the city every year to indulge in all the exciting things it has to offer.
It can be challenging to find the right therapist. Those in individual practices may have few appointments available, and the cost can be prohibitive, whether you have insurance or not. With an online platform like BetterHelp, you can access mental health services on your schedule from the comfort of home. BetterHelp subscriptions are between $65 to $90 per week (billed every four weeks), which may be more affordable than in-person treatment.
Whether you prefer a licensed professional counselor LPC, clinical social worker, or other mental health professional, you and your therapist can work through a range of challenges together. Reach out to a New Orleans-based counselor if you need trauma informed treatment to deal with eating disorders or family conflict, support with learning how to manage stress or perform self care, or anything in between. When you communicate openly and commit to the collaborative process, you can work with your therapist for a more fulfilling life.

As previously stated, I offer individual, group, and family services to individual with personal, behavioral, emotional, and psychiatric issues. My theoretical orientation is Reality Therapy, which is cognitive based in its approach, due to my alignment with William Glasser perspective on human nature and behavior. His beliefs align with not helping people find defenses for their negative or inappropriate behaviors, but helping them acknowledge their behavior as being inappropriate or negative and then to learn how to act in a more logical and productive manner.

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida, and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the stated of Louisiana. I have over 11 years of counseling experience, working with adults, children and families struggling with challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, life transitions and trauma. I work from a strength-based approach, pulling from theories such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This integrative approach allows the ability to tailor counseling to meet individual needs. I enjoy helping others explore personal strengths and possibilities, elements that can be important parts of healing, growth and change. Prior to becoming a counselor, I was an educator, with over 10 years of classroom experience. I believe that the counseling process is a collaborative one, and that building rapport is very important. Let's work together to create goals, and move toward meeting these goals. I work from a place of warmth, respect and encouragement. We all face challenges from time to time. Reaching out for support can be the first step in identifying thoughts and behaviors that are not working for us, and can prompt us to explore new paths toward growth.
