I am an out of network provider. I can provide a super bill for you to use your out of network healthcare benefits. A superbill requires a diagnosis for the person in therapy. I recommend contacting your insurance to ask about your out-of-network benefits.

I offer in-person sessions in my office in Uptown New Orleans on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons as well as Saturdays and Sundays. For people living in Louisiana, Tennessee, and Texas, I offer virtual appointments.

Life happens, and I understand that unexpected situations come up.
Each client is allowed one late cancellation or missed appointment each calendar year without a fee. Think of it as a one-time grace pass for the unexpected.
After that, appointments canceled with less than 24 hours' notice or missed without notice will be charged the cancellation/no-show fee on file.
This policy helps protect the time reserved specifically for you and allows me to continue providing consistent care to all clients. If an emergency or extraordinary circumstance arises, please let me know. Whenever possible, I'm happy to have a conversation.

Many parents wonder if what they're seeing is "just a phase" or something more. The truth is, you don't have to wait until things feel like a crisis to ask for help.
You might consider therapy if your child is having big emotions that seem difficult to manage, frequent meltdowns, increased worries or fears, trouble sleeping, changes after a stressful event, difficulty separating from caregivers, aggression, withdrawal, or behaviors that are making everyday life harder for your child or your family.
Sometimes the concern isn't your child's behavior at all. You may notice that your relationship with your child feels strained, parenting has become exhausting, or you've tried everything you know and still feel frustrated.
-
Young children often communicate their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through play, behavior, and their relationships rather than through conversation alone. Therapy with young children looks different than therapy with older children, teens, or adults.
I use developmentally appropriate approaches that may include play, storytelling, drawing, movement, and other activities that help children express themselves in ways that feel natural and comfortable. I also work closely with parents and caregivers because they play a critical role in a child's emotional growth and healing.
Depending on your child's age and needs, therapy may involve individual time with your child, parent-child sessions, caregiver consultation, or a combination of these approaches. Together, we focus on understanding the underlying needs behind behaviors, strengthening relationships, building emotional skills, and supporting your child's overall wellbeing.
My goal is not only to help your child feel better but also to help families develop stronger connections and lasting tools for navigating challenges together.
-
Honesty is best when it comes to children, otherwise their imaginations can run away with them. You can say, “we’re going to a person that can help us talk through big feelings and hard stuff.”

During our first appointment together we will go over your concerns, relevant history, and goals for therapy.

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
