Psychoeducational therapists in New Orleans, Louisiana LA

We are a caring and comprehensive group practice that offers therapy, medication management, reiki, nutritional support, testing, and more in order assist our clients across multiple areas of growth and wellness.  

I have been a counselor for over 30 years helping many individuals, families, and couples deal with the pressures of life. I provide a warm, comfortable, caring space for clients to feel safe and able to process issues causing distress. My experience, understanding and compassion help my clients heal.  

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New Orleans and Covington, Louisiana with over thirty years of experience specializing in anxiety, phobias, depression, eating disorders, and grief. In 2007, I was trained as an EMDR therapist which revolutionized my practice. I now specialize in EMDR Therapy and offer EMDR Training and EMDR Certification Consultation to practitioners seeking to enhance their clinical skills.  

I help guide, inform, and inspire individuals to feel more confident about their life and choices. I do this by using a knowledge based approach which utilizes research based tools, techniques, nutrition, and my experience to heal physically, mentally, and emotionally. I have worked in the Mental Health Industry since 1999. I started off working for the Public School System as a Nationally Certified School Psychologist, eventually becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor and Counselor Supervisor and later training as a Life Optimization Coach opening my own business Abundant Life Consulting. Through this time I've developed a variety of skills enabling me to help those I work with lead more productive, healthier, and happier lives.  

In years of practicing counseling and doing my own training and research, I have learned that besides knowing "Why" it is also important to know "How." I find many people knowing where their trauma or problem is coming from, but they are still not able to move forward and resolve the issue. My focus is on understanding the client's challenge and then helping her/him move forward with practical and doable steps.
