As a licensed therapist serving Louisiana, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering young adults through transformative healing experiences, with a deep commitment to addressing challenges like depression, anxiety, social isolation, and personal identity exploration.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in cultural responsiveness and affirming care, particularly for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients develop resilience, self-understanding, and meaningful strategies for personal growth. Whether you're struggling with life transitions, relationship dynamics, or internal conflicts, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore your unique journey.
My clinical expertise spans diverse areas including trauma recovery, family dynamics, stress management, and supporting individuals with neurodevelopmental differences. I'm dedicated to meeting each client exactly where they are, honoring their individual strengths and supporting their path toward holistic wellness.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Excellent communication, takes the time to let me rant about how I'm feeling but never cuts me off or interrupts until I'm done. Always has great insight and suggestions on how to proceed with my own feelings.
Jira is a compassionate and skilled therapist. She understands her craft and works with me in a peaceful but direct manner. I highly recommend everyone work with her.
I can really express how I feel and be myself with Jira. She listens and is compassionate and has a good sense of humour too. She provides really good solutions to issues and provides homework which I really appreciate.
Great so far I’m very thankful!
Been great and as a lot of tools and listens well. It been a short period but I feel comfortable to be my self and share my experience.
Jira has helped me so much in understanding and recognizing my triggers, emotions, and how to set healthy boundaries for myself. Forever appreciative for her help. ❤️
This is my first time trying therapy outside the traditional form, and exceed my expectations. Respresentation matters. As a woman of color I feel heard and seen. Jira creates a safe space with respect and intention. Her inputs are valid and supporting as your reach your goal/intention. For me was going through a rough situation. She has guide me through it. It made a big impact on how I handled the situation this time around. Highly recommend!
I really enjoy Jira’s approach on therapy and the things I want to work on. I appreciate the “let’s get into” approach especially since I have experience in the past with therapy. We dove right into the areas I need help with and immediately started to create and take action towards how to cope and resolve some of my main concerns. She’s experienced and is a great listener.
Jira understood what I needed after I explained my experience with some other therapists and gave me that. I am an action, learning by doing kind of person, and that's what we did. I spoke about my insecurities, what had triggered me and she helped me find ways to set healthy boundaries and not second guess myself, but face my fear of certain confrontations in specific situations and empower me. I felt heard and understood with patience, but also challenged enough for me to come to terms with my past mistakes and face the future in a healthier way and be true to myself. You have to do the work, and Jira is the perfect person to give you the homework, the realistic, kind and relatable feedback and support. Will be forever grateful for the help I needed after some personal losses. Thank you!
