I am Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with over 20 years of professional work experience. I am also a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Counselor. I have helped clients work on their depression, stress, anxiety, pregnancy & perinatal issues, coping with loss, career changes, relationship struggles, sexual issues, and adjustment to life's changes. I believe that all people have challenges in their lives, but I also believe they have the ability to overcome those by maximizing their strengths in a collaborative setting. We will work together every step of the way to determine your goals and ways to achieve them. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am excited to help you get started!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
