We'll talk about what's bothering you and look for patterns that might be keeping you stuck. Together, we'll figure out new ways to think about your experiences and handle difficult situations. You can talk about emotions, address past trauma, and better understand yourself—all moving at whatever speed feels comfortable.

I don't sit back and analyze you. We work together. I bring training and perspective to help you see things differently and develop tools that fit your life.

There's no standard answer because everyone's timeline is different. Some people get what they need in a few months. Others work through complex trauma or major life changes over a longer period.

We'll regularly check in about your progress and goals. You're in control, and we can adjust based on what's working. During our initial consultation, we'll talk about what you want to address so you have a better sense of what to expect.

You can expect warmth, acceptance, and care. I meet you where you are without judgment. I listen, and I work with you rather than telling you what to do.

I understand how past experiences affect your life today, and I respect your pace and boundaries. Some days you might want to tackle difficult topics. Other days you might need to focus on coping skills or just talk about what's happening now. All of that is fine.

Yes. You can be completely yourself here without judgment. I have deep respect for diverse identities and experiences, especially the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals and people who have experienced trauma or systemic oppression.

Your identity isn't something to fix or change. My job is helping you embrace who you are while building the skills and confidence to deal with a world that isn't always accepting.

You'll likely notice subtle shifts first—maybe you feel more comfortable being yourself, you respond differently to situations that used to trigger you, or you find yourself speaking up in ways you couldn't before. Progress isn't always linear, and changes often happen in small, meaningful moments rather than dramatic breakthroughs.

Some clients notice they're sleeping better, feeling less anxious, or approaching relationships with more confidence and clarity. Others find that old patterns don't have the same power anymore. We'll regularly check in about what's shifting for you, and I'll help you recognize progress you might not notice on your own.

Yes. Many clients find telehealth just as effective as in-person sessions, and some prefer it. It offers convenience and comfort while maintaining the same therapeutic connection and depth. All sessions are secure and HIPAA-compliant, and they're designed to feel warm and personal despite the virtual format.

Telehealth also means we can work together anywhere in Louisiana or South Carolina, giving you access to specialized care regardless of where you live.

I want to be transparent about pricing. One hour sessions are $125, though I offer a sliding scale starting at $70 for those who need it—we can discuss this during your consultation.

I'm currently in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Optum, Aetna, Cigna, UMR, Carelon, Evernorth, Humana Medicare Advantage, Oscar and Quest, and am working to expand my insurance network. Medicaid and Medicare coming soon. For clients with other insurance, I'm happy to discuss payment options during our consultation call.

I use Simple Practice for scheduling and telehealth sessions, which keeps everything secure. Once we decide to work together, you'll receive a link to create an account where you can schedule appointments, message me between sessions if needed, join your sessions, and manage payment.

I currently offer evening and weekend appointments, with more availability coming soon. We can discuss any specific scheduling needs during our initial consultation.

Life happens, and I understand that sometimes you need to change your appointment. Just reach out at least 48 hours before your scheduled time, and we can reschedule without any issues.

Cancellations within 48 hours or missed appointments are billed at the full rate, but I'm willing to work with you if there are emergency situations or ongoing scheduling challenges.
