Joe is an LPC-S (Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor) in Louisiana with 28 years of professional work experience. I graduated from Upper Iowa University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. From there, I earned my Master of Mental Health Counseling and Psychology with a School Guidance Counseling endorsement from Troy University. In therapy, Joe seeks to provide his clients with the tools, guidance, and support they need to face life’s challenges and difficulties. I have experience helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, and parenting issues. In addition to adjustment, grief, and stress-related issues, I also have extensive experience with the military. "You will learn to empower yourself to utilize your inner strength and resilience to overcome obstacles." You will be supported in getting "unstuck" in order to move forward and find a healthy balance and peaceful state of living. Together, we will work effectively to discover solutions to your challenges in order to attain your goals in the shortest time possible. I believe the relationship between client and therapist is paramount. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started!
