I’m also committed to providing anti-racist and LGBTQ+ affirming care.
While change can be an exciting invitation for growth and deeper self-discovery, life’s transitions can also feel disorienting and overwhelming. If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. I’m here to listen and to help you strengthen your coping strategies for navigating the uncertainties and complexities of this moment. I support adult individuals in Louisiana and Florida who are adjusting to change and challenge in their lives and experiencing related stress, anxiety, depression, grief and/or trauma.

I work with different types of clients including those experiencing problems with: depression and anxiety; grief, loss and bereavement; domestic violence, rape, and incest; women's issues including lifetime changes, menopause, divorce, widowhood, and other women's issues; Pastoral Counseling and issues of faith/religion and questions concerning these; LGBTQ counseling of all types.
The clients I work with come to me with many concerns. These may have been going on for months or years or could even be immediate situations. People who are motivated to talk openly about the real depth of their issues or pain do best in therapy. I will give you the attention and support you need while I help you gain the tools you need to make changes in your life for the long term. I am highly interactive with my clients and believe that we are partners in the process towards better mental health, healing, and wholeness.

We all struggle from time to time. Everyone needs help at some point. I know what it's like to need a hand and how important it is to find it from a non-judgmental source. One of the key elements in the way I work with you is to listen to your story. Each of us is unique, each story is different so I take great care to listen and understand how you see things and what is important to you. My goal is "to walk in your shoes".

Do you ever wonder how some people seem to genuinely enjoy life while you may struggle just to make it through the day? Are you feeling overwhelmed or even trapped by your current circumstances? Do you have goals for yourself but struggle to muster up enough motivation just to make it through the work day? Perhaps you are confused with knowing how to best help a loved one who is struggling? What if there was a way to feel like you were in control of your life and goals rather than feeling like your daily responsibilities and stress control you?

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
