EMDR Therapy in New Orleans for Female Leaders, Entrepreneurs and Helping Professionals
You’re the one people turn to — at work, at home, in your community. But always being the strong one leaves little room for your own healing. Maybe you feel weighed down by old trauma, constant daily stress, or the belief that you “should” be coping better. I specialize in working with women in leadership, entrepreneurs, and helping professionals — physicians, nurses, therapists — who give endlessly but feel depleted inside. With EMDR, I help you process the layers of trauma and stress that keep you stuck in survival mode. Together, we’ll create space for relief, clarity, and balance, so you can keep showing up for the people you love.
A more balanced and connected life is possible.
Hi, I’m Jessica!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, EMDRIA Certified EMDR therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant in Training. I provide in person therapy in New Orleans and virtual therapy across Louisiana. I love working with women in leadership, entrepreneurs and helping professionals to resolve issues related to self-worth, anxiety, over-functioning, people-pleasing, overwhelm, burnout, direct and vicarious trauma, and attachment injury.
In my fifteen years of education and nonprofit direct service and administration, I have experienced firsthand the numbness, overwhelm, rage, desperation, escape fantasies, and exhaustion that are so common among compassionate leaders and helping professionals.
Burnout and overwhelm don’t have to have the last word.
Call it compassion fatigue, burnout, vicarious trauma - all of these have their rightful place - but the bottom line is that the experience of it sucks.
Without a real plan for support, the daily experience of helping and caregiving can suck away the energy, creativity, compassion and joy that make you a force for change in your community. This can leave you feeling overwhelmed, drained, uninspired and even hopeless.
You’re tired of being a superhero. What if you could just be fully human?
Through a compassionate and science-based approach to therapy, I help people who are feeling symptoms of burnout or overwhelm in their personal and professional lives to reconnect with what makes them feel whole and to find balance, joy, connection, safety and hope in the full range of their human experience.
