As a licensed therapist in Louisiana, I bring over two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate emotional wellness, with specialized expertise in depression, anxiety, stress management, and self-esteem development.
I am deeply committed to addressing a wide range of personal struggles, including communication difficulties, social anxiety, family dynamics, and caregiver stress. My approach is holistic and person-centered, focusing on understanding each individual's unique emotional landscape and empowering them to develop healthier coping strategies.
My therapeutic work honors the diverse experiences of women and individuals facing interpersonal challenges. I create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their emotions, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. Whether you're dealing with panic attacks, impulsivity, or relationship concerns, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you in your healing journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Gail was great and helped me feel better. Thanks Gail!
Not only is Gail teaching me the skills I need to deal with my anxiety. She has also been a great example of what it means to be a good and effective listener.
Gail gives off a warm presence that makes you feel comfortable to trust and speak. She also provides resources and tools to cope with anxiety and hardship of life.
Ms Gail has been such a treasure to me these last 9 months. I'm learning and growing so much from the inside out with the tools she has given me.
Gail is absolutely wise, thorough, respectful and offers an incredibly calm new view on situations!
Ms. Gail has been wonderfully helpful. She set goals for us to accomplish and would always check in with me. She helped me gain insight and a different perspective to look at while simultaneously helping me work through my issues. She was always upbeat and positive but not in an overbearing way. I loved connecting with her and talking with her was like talking to an old friend (though I still recognized her as my counselor, she was just that easy to talk to). I would always look forward to our sessions. After some time and after working through most of my goals, I would leave my sessions feeling refreshed and energized. Ms. Gail is a wonderful, knowledgeable counselor.
Gail has been very helpful for my personal happiness and overall mindset. She sets goals for me to work on between sessions, she gives great feedback during sessions, and she checks in with me between our calls to make sure I’m on track. I am really thankful for her level of care and commitment to my progress.
She always responds to my messages fast, and she is encouraging me to stand of for myself, that people will respect me for it. She wants me to get out and be social with people but social distance, just make small conversation so that I can come out of my shell a little.
