Therapists in Louisiana

Counseling is a unique process accompanied by a trusting therapist that can guide you through your journey to wellness. I commend you for taking the first brave step to seek help! As a therapist, I offer my professional perspective by using a variety of theoretical approaches catered to your specific needs and goals. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment and trusting relationship with my clients.

I work with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma in their lives, as well as couples who want to increase connection. I particularly enjoy helping parents work through challenges that prevent them from being the parents they want to be. I believe that good therapy is much more than a paid friendship, having a space to simply vent, or playing whack-a-mole with problems. We all come into this world with God-given needs for safety, connection, and belonging. Many of our problems stem from trying to get those needs met, but not always knowing how to do so in healthy, effective ways.

Trying to manage the stress in our relationships can be overwhelming, frustrating, and painful. Are you questioning the commitment you made, and wondering if things can get any better? Did an event happen causing your relationship to change? Do you want to take the next step in your commitment, but would like to identify strengths and examine potential roadblocks before moving forward? Maybe you're doing well, but could strengthen intimacy, communication, or understanding within your relationship.

Are you struggling with the effects of chronic stress, burnout, or trauma? Does it feel like the difficulties you are having are disrupting various areas of your life and well being?

Do you have a child who is struggling with big emotions and behaviors and feel your family could use some outside support? Are you a new, postpartum parent struggling to adapt to your new role? I am a counselor who has a passion for serving families. I specialize in trauma and work with individuals of all ages.

Do you feel like you are drowning? Are you struggling with restlessness, feelings of extreme sadness, trouble concentrating or managing your emotions? Maybe you feel all of these. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, or emotional challenges, you have the ability to regain control of your life. Even when you feel like you can't. It is possible to find meaning in those dark moments, but it can be a scary place doing it alone.
