I am deeply passionate about supporting individuals on their journeys toward healing and self-discovery, especially within communities that have historically been underserved or overlooked. My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by diverse roles, including work as a school teacher, parole officer, child protective services investigator, state benefits worker, and therapy aide for individuals with brain injuries. These experiences have not only refined my skills but also grounded me in the importance of empathy, resilience, and connection within the community. In our work together, no topic is too small or insignificant. My priority is to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood—where your unique experiences and challenges are met with respect and care. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I’m here to walk alongside you, offering support as you explore your goals, strengths, and concerns. I use a flexible, eclectic counseling style that draws from various therapeutic approaches to meet your needs. Together, we’ll create a plan that feels authentic and effective for you. Our sessions will move at a pace that feels right for you, providing time for reflection, growth, and healing. It’s an honor to support you on this path, and I look forward to walking it with you.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Louisiana rather than a city like New Orleans?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Louisiana from Baton Rouge to Shreveport! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Louisiana.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
