Feeling overwhelmed? Want to make changes but not sure where to start? Do things feel out of control? Finding a good fit with a therapist can play a vital role in getting more of what you want in life. I see myself as someone who guides and facilitates a committed, compassionate and confidential space where we can clarify what is most important to you, and discover the blocks that get in the way of having the life that you want.
I work with individuals: teens and adults. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment, which helps you get to the root of the difficulties that are interfering with love, work, and play - the basic ingredients of a satisfying life. I am also accepting child custody clients for supervised visitation and parenting coordination.
I have been doing therapy for over 8 years. I have experience working at River Oaks Hospital and maintaining a private practice. I accept many insurance plans: Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Ochsner plans, Optum, Aetna, Cigna and United Healthcare. I have a very reasonable sliding fee if you don't have insurance.
