I have worked in social services for over 25 years in various capacities--as a direct care worker in a group home for developmentally-disabled adults, as a staff worker at a homeless shelter for teens, as a licensed counselor in a crisis counseling program in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and as a Licensed Mental Health Professional (LMHP) working with children, teens, and adults who receive Medicaid.

I am licensed in Louisiana with 15 years of professional clinical experience. I have helped many cope with and overcome a variety of challenges, crises, conflicts, and griefs. Yet, I feel therapy is a type of partnership whereby two experts work together to realize a healing end, one providing the guidance, and the other execution. So, it's not all my training, ability, or even wisdom that has gifted me so many opportunities to see people become so much more than they ever thought they could be. It's also the person that decides to live their life better today than it was yesterday. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy is not easy, but everything we know about recovery is clear to how powerfully therapeutic taking these first steps can be.

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on unconscious processes as they are manifested in the client's present behavior. The goals of psychodynamic therapy are client self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on present behavior. What does a psychodynamic therapy therapist do? In general, the therapist's role is to aid the client in connecting the dots between their past experiences and their current problems, and leverage their internal resources to address these problems. I also focus on the practice of mindfulness which, when done properly and with intention, can reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Hey there! I'm Penni :) I'm a licensed clinical therapist in Louisiana with over a decade of experience supporting clients through life's most challenging transitions. I work with clients of all backgrounds and ages, from middle school to older adults, with a particular focus on helping older adults navigate the complexities of aging, grief, and life purpose. My approach is grounded in understanding the interconnected nature of emotional wellbeing. I specialize in supporting individuals working through depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns, as well as the deeper issues that often underlie these experiences—including trauma, guilt, shame, and feelings of abandonment. I'm particularly skilled at helping clients examine relationship patterns, communication challenges, and the impact of codependency and narcissistic dynamics on their lives. I believe you're the expert of your story and your life experiences, and that we all have strengths inside that can and will assist us in overcoming challenges and the ways that life ... life's. As long as we don't give up. I'm a believer that we all have the answers we’re looking for inside of us; sometimes we need just somebody to help us dig deep enough to find them. Not everyone believes they can, some just don't subscribe to that notion. And that’s okay. My goal is to help guide you through those things. Without judgment. Without deciding for you. It takes a lot of courage to admit a need, seek out and accept help from a stranger. I'm proud of you for getting started! It's an honor to be able to walk alongside you.
