I see children, teens, young adults and their parents and families.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Orleans. I strongly believe that a developmental perspective is important when working with clients in therapy. A young child practicing social skills and working to connect with peers, a child entering adolescence and exploring his identity, or a parent with a new baby all represent life transitions that are part of the normal developmental landscape.

My primary psychotherapy experience has included working with children, teens, parents, and families.
In seven years of psychotherapy work with children, adolescents, college students, adults, and families, I have found that unhealthy levels of stress can worsen problems related to self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and beyond. These issues often lead to additional problems at home, school, or work and ultimately affect relationships with friends and family. Struggling with difficult life transitions may have a significant and lasting impact on the mind. It can be hard to navigate these situations or to know where to turn.

I work with children and adults using Person-Centered, Solution-Focused, Reality Therapy, and other evidenced-based techniques as they fit clients' needs.
Struggling with finding your true voice? Hesitant to make the best decision for yourself? Spending too much time worrying about what family, friends, or coworkers think or what they'd expect of you? Take a deep breath... Life is complicated. Balancing work, family, relationships, living life for others can overshadow living for oneself. It's not selfish, it's selfcare. It's important to take the time to address your personal needs and often caring for others can get in the way of doing so. Through a Therapeutic Alliance, Counseling creates a space where sorting through life's challenges and establishing balance becomes possible.

For children, I like to use play and art interventions.
Understanding what you can control in your own life such as thoughts and behaviors is crucial. It is important to stay true to yourself at your core and not rely on others' perceptions. I want to guide you in understanding your behaviors and what those behaviors are protecting you from. these behaviors may stem from being stuck in the past, having racing thoughts, struggling with self esteem, struggling with familial issues, having relationship/parenting/co-parenting problems, and experiencing issues in school. For children, their struggles may include emotion regulation, anger, ADHD, school issues, divorced parents, and more.

Children and teens express problems differently than grown-ups.
In over 30 years practicing psychotherapy with people of all ages, I have learned that everyone is unique, and everyone needs to be recognized for who they are. But we also all share certain basic things: needs for satisfying relationships with others, for a meaningful and interesting path in life, and for security and enjoyment. If you are seeking psychological help, you are probably looking for a better way to meet those needs. You may be experiencing unsatisfying relationships, having trouble finding a meaningful life path, or trying to deal with painful emotions like anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, or anger.
