In Person Therapists in Covington, LA

As human beings, we all struggle. Life is hard. The day-to-day grind can cause you to miss out on little moments of joy in your life. Work and life stress can leave you pouring from an empty cup. It can be overwhelming to feel that you are not heard in your life and that you have no one to truly listen to you. Great counseling not only listens but helps you map out and find the path to where you want to be.

Hello, I'm glad you stopped by! I've been a licensed social worker for 16 years, working with a variety of populations and issues as a Mental Health Provider in St. Tammany Parish School System, an inpatient/outpatient Therapist, and a Counselor at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Authenticity, compassion, honesty, and humor are the foundation of my work.

I am a person-centered counselor who works to meet clients exactly where they are. I create treatment plans based on the unique needs of each individual because I believe you are the greatest expert on yourself.

I specialize in neurodiversity, which includes giftedness, high sensitivity, intensity and development concerns such as high functioning autism and more. I work with adults, teens and children who are dealing with a variety of challenges such as depression, anxiety, emotional reactivity, transition concerns, need for self-understanding, parental stressors, family stressors, anger issues, overwhelm, vocational stressors, relationship concerns, conflict resolution and more. I believe within every problem there is a solution. With personalized care via secure virtual online therapy I help clients to feel and function better.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have experience working with a variety of presenting issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, women's issues, and relationship issues. I believe in creating a safe and accepting environment where clients can feel comfortable and empowered to confront their personal barriers to wellness. I also believe that the relationship between the client and therapist is the cornerstone to a successful therapeutic encounter, and very much approach therapy from a client-centered perspective. You, the client, steer the direction of therapy and find self-discovery through therapeutic encouragement and support.

As a therapist who sees couples, adults and teens, I believe in providing a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their inner thoughts and emotions. I understand that seeking therapy can be a difficult decision, and my goal is to create an environment that feels welcoming and supportive to all who come through my door.

Asking for help with personal matters can be overwhelming but I am here for you! You are so close to beginning your journey of moving past emotional challenges and discovering new insights. Therapy is more than an investment in yourself, but it is an investment in your life. Sometimes life can seem confusing, frustrating, and overwhelming. Other moments, you may feel stuck and need guidance. We can work together in a comfortable judgement free environment at a pace that works best for you. Our first appointment is an assessment to gather basic information about you or your child's history.

Recovery starts with hope. We can start you on your way. Whether it's manifested within one of our patients, motivated by their loved one or cultivated through time in one of our residential treatment programs, hope is the first step to manifesting a healthy, clean and sober life. Lake Wellness Center facilitates hope and instills the tools within an addict to learn, grow, heal and transform his or her life without the crutch of substances or compulsive behavior. Our evidence-based treatment has helped others, and it will help you too.
