Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
~
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill
where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.

Trauma-informed, embodied therapy for healing, re-membering, and unfolding
Trauma-informed, embodied therapy for healing, re-membering, and unfolding
Each counseling relationship I have with a client is distinct ― no one has ever lived your life before you; what you bring in and how your process unfolds are unique to you. I see my role as walking beside you for part of your journey, helping you gain insight into your experience, being with you as we navigate the unknown, honing your ability to build more choice and flexibility into your responses, and supporting you in living a more aligned life.
The therapeutic process moves at the speed of trust. I use a combination of talk therapy, psychoeducation, mindfulness, and somatic therapy to attune to your pace, allowing you to increasingly access more of your whole self.
I welcome and enjoy working with clients of all races, sexual orientations, gender expressions, physical abilities, cultures, and spiritual affiliations.
If you're wondering whether I might be a good fit for you, please reach out.
I offer a free initial consultation and am always happy to answer questions.
Location
Location
I offer sessions in person at my Mid City office in New Orleans and teletherapy via video conferencing throughout Louisiana. Additionally, when appropriate, I offer outdoor walking sessions at one of our local parks.
My office is easily reached via public transportation, and there is ample on-street parking.
Rates
Rates
My rates are commensurate with those of clinicians with similar training and experience in the New Orleans Area. I am also committed to making counseling financially accessible and understand that everyone has a different relationship with money. I will do my best to work with you individually to determine a workable and equitable rate, which can be reassessed as life circumstances change.
Insurance
Insurance
I am considered a licensed out-of-network provider, which means you pay me directly and may be eligible for partial or full reimbursement from your insurance provider. I’m happy to provide you with a detailed invoice (“superbill”) for that purpose. If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA), you can also use that to cover the cost of my services.
I choose not to work directly with insurance companies because doing so often requires compromising the quality, depth, and integrity of the therapeutic process. Insurance reimbursement typically limits how we define care, how much time we spend together, and how we set goals — prioritizing diagnosis, efficiency, and the status quo over relationship, presence, and transformation.
The boundaries of a living body are open and indeterminate; more like membranes than barriers, they define a surface of metamorphosis and exchange… so it is difficult to discern, at any moment, precisely where this living body begins and where it ends… the body is a creative, shape-shifting entity… Far from restricting our access to things and to the world, the body is our very means of entering into relation with all things.
