Women's Issues Therapists in Metairie, LA

I believe deeply in the ability for people to change and renew. My 20 plus years of experience working with women, men, and families who have experienced addiction, physical, sexual and emotional trauma, homelessness, and mental illness affirms this belief.

Are you looking for help dealing with a difficult situation? No matter what's happening in your life, I want you to know you don't need to feel alone or go through this without support. I work with adults struggling with a variety of issues. Most people seek my services because they are suffering from feelings of hopelessness, worry, anger, grief, relationship issues, and much more as they navigate their lives. Some people are acutely aware of the areas in their lives that are difficult, while others report feeling something is wrong but don't know what or why. Each reason for seeking counseling is deeply personal.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work with adolescents and adults on a variety of issues. I have a special interest in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and women's issues. By understanding how debilitating these issues can be, I provide an empathic and safe place to begin the counseling process. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to overcome the symptoms of their issues.

"What you resist, persists." Carl Jung. If achieving goals were easy, everyone would do it quickly and without difficulty. I am committed to helping people achieve a happier and healthier life through insight and awareness. Even if you have a plan their are always obstacles in the path. It is the joy and journey of clearing those obstacles that makes life rich and accomplished. I approach counseling from am holistic perspective. Together, we can identify and begin to clear the obstacles in your path.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in treating anxiety, depression, crisis due to major life changes, loss and grief issues, women's issues, concerns related to sexual orientation, sleep issues, relationship problems and life stress. Believing that therapy is a journey, I assist people in walking a path that will help them let go of the issues that have kept them reaching their potential and cause them problems in relationships.

It takes courage to ask for help, especially from someone you don't know. The goal of this counseling relationship is to identify healthy behaviors that you choose to examine and to incorporate patterns of change into your life. I strive to create and maintain a therapeutic relationship that is accepting and empowering. Depression, anxiety and exhaustion can be consequences of unresolved conflict, painful loss, overthinking, worrying, procrastinating, people-pleasing, approval-seeking, and care-taking of those around you.

If you're looking for a counselor who is laid back, open minded, and brings a sense of humor into sessions then look no further! My objective is to remove all the stigma and misleading ideas about therapy being stuffy and scary so that your therapeutic journey feels comfortable and completely safe. My focus is working with the perinatal population to cope with anxiety, depression, associated mood disorders, and other postpartum concerns. This includes working with and supporting partners of pregnant people as well! I also focus on general anxiety/depression, identity issues, relationship concerns, and major life changes.

We all hit roadblocks in our lives at some point. We experience issues we no longer feel able to manage alone, have problems we can't find our own solution to, or feel consumed by thoughts or emotions we can't seem to turn off. Sometimes we need an unbiased sounding board to bounce solutions and ideas off of. Sometimes we could use a little help incorporating new coping skills or problem-solving strategies into our lives. Sometimes we simply need someone to go on the journey with us. I'm here to do exactly that.

Navigating adversity while maintaining self-compassion can be difficult. I strive to provide person centered care to individuals, families and couples. My approach to therapy is individualized, with consideration of the uniqueness of each client's preferences and needs. I utilize trauma informed care with traditional therapeutic methods such as solution focused therapy. I received my Bachelor of Arts from Louisiana State University and my Master’s in Social Work from Southern University at New Orleans. My office is conveniently located in Metairie, and I offer virtual/telehealth appointments.

I employ a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to the needs of my clients, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Brief Solution Focus. Whether you are seeking guidance for relationship challenges, personal growth, or emotional well-being, I'm here to provide empathetic and effective support on your journey to a better life.

Are you feeling anxious? Are you overwhelmed & overstimulated? Are you saying things like "I just don't feel like myself" and feel like this isn't how things should be? Every step of the journey through fertility/infertility, pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period can sometimes feel like an uphill battle no one prepared you for. In a time where others expect you to feel bliss, it is frustrating when you feel sadness, hopelessness, and fear instead. You don't have to suffer with anxiety, depression, & your scary thoughts alone. You are not your thoughts, and your feelings are valid.

In my practice, I am available to help people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, divorce, grief and adjustments to life changes. Clients are able to feel comfortable in a relaxed environment, where they can meet their goals of decreased stress and increase feelings of peace, confidence and strength. They can also gain tools to manage symptoms of fear and worry. Children can gain techniques to cope and function with stressors in school, social, and family life. Families going through separation and divorce can benefit from consultation on how to go through the process of change, putting the children’s best interest first.

Do you want what's inside to match what it looks like on the outside? Have you benefitted from talk therapy but wanting to go further? You may have insight as to why you feel stuck or anxious, but needing help to fully release and move forward. I strive to create a warm and safe therapeutic space that allows healing to naturally take place. My approach is person-centered and collaborative; with each client receiving individualized care depending on their life history, current issues, and personal goals. I have special interest in helping people who experience caregiver burnout, anxiety, grief, and other trauma-related symptoms.

Asking for help is the first step of many to improving your quality of life. No one should have to feel as though they are going through this life alone. I am here to help you along this pathway to becoming a better you!

"Empowered To Make A Change" I provide counseling services for individuals, children & adolescents, adults, couples, families, military personnel and groups. The need for therapy can arise from a number of personal challenges such as family conflicts, work or school problems, sudden losses, life transitions, daily stressors and mood instability. Being a licensed therapist allows me the opportunity to share the gift of psychotherapy with many struggling with mental illness and daily life trails. I foster individuals growth through implementing healthier coping skills, changing thought process, empowering change in behaviors and instilling hope. Making an amazing impact on families and communities is my ultimate goal.

In life, challenges and transitions are inevitable, because of this, self-preservation is key. Therapy provides the opportunity for one to become the best version of themselves. It is a collaborative process between therapist and client with the goal of achieving greater health and happiness. I view the counseling relationship to be one of egalitarian nature in which you, the client, are the expert on your own life. I provide a person centered environment focused on fostering resilience and building upon personal strengths. My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to meet the individual needs of each client.

Making the decision to look for a therapist to assist you, support your marriage, your family or your child can be extremely fulfilling.

Currently I am still exclusively practicing virtually. I work with my clients from a humanistic perspective and enjoy getting to know each client over time. The therapeutic relationship is sacred and I am honored to have so many long-term clients who utilize therapy sessions not only for deeper issues and stresses, but also for continual support. My clients appreciate my dedication to their overall mental and emotional health.
