Therapeutic Services
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #16393), I provide individual therapy focused on supporting you in helping you build a meaningful and fulfilling life.
My Approach
My approach is grounded in exploration and discovery, using a person-centered framework that values your individuality and agency. I draw from evidence-based practices like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor our work to your unique needs.
Together, we’ll explore the patterns and narratives that have shaped your life—how they began, how they’ve influenced you, and how you’d like to shift them moving forward. Our focus will be on uncovering what feels most important to you and finding ways to live in alignment with your values and aspirations.
I strive to create a safe, supportive space for self-discovery, offering thoughtful questions and gentle guidance to spark insight and growth. Through this process, my goal is to help you uncover empowering insights and move toward meaningful change.
Here’s how we can work together:
Process your identity and deepen your understanding of who you are
Navigate complex family dynamics and break free from generational patterns
Build deeper, more fulfilling relationships with the people who matter most
Work through unresolved emotions and find peace with your past
Overcome self-doubt and learn to treat yourself with the compassion and respect you deserve
Find clarity and confidence during major life changes or transitions
Rewrite your personal narrative to reflect your strengths and growth
Identify choices that feel true to who you are and what matters most to you
A commitment to inclusive and affirming therapy:
My therapy practice is informed by my lived experience as a queer, nonbinary, Asian-American person, and I aim to provide anti-racist, gender-affirming, and LGBTQ-affirming care that honors the complexities of our personal identities.
Session Types: In-Person and Virtual
I offer therapy both in-person at my cozy Mid-City, New Orleans office and virtually for adults across Louisiana, giving you the flexibility to choose what works best for you.
What To Expect
Free Consultation: This 20-minute phone or video call is your chance to share your needs, ask questions, and learn more about therapy. If it feels like we’re a good fit, we’ll schedule your first session, either in person or online.
Your First Sessions: During our first sessions, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy and work together to clarify your goals and priorities.
Ongoing Sessions: I offer sessions on a weekly basis to provide consistent support and help you stay connected toward your goals. Therapy can be an open-ended process. I’m here to support your self-exploration and growth for as long as it feels meaningful to you.
Fees & Payment Options
Standard Fee: My standard fee is $150 for a 50-minute session.
Sliding Scale: I offer a limited number of sliding scale slots to ensure therapy is more accessible. If cost is a concern, we can discuss this during our free consultation to see if a reduced rate is available.
Insurance: I do not accept insurance directly. However, I can provide a superbill (an itemized receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Be sure to check with your provider about their out-of-network coverage for therapy.
Payment Options: Payment is securely handled through autopay using a credit card on file.
