I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor(LPC-S) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Louisiana, with over 18 years of experience working as a Professional Counselor. I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, crisis counseling, and chronic mental illness.

My counseling style is genuine and non-judgmental. I believe in treating everyone with respect, compassion, and unconditional positive regard. My goal is to facilitate positive change and recovery in a supportive, non-judgmental, atmosphere. Additionally, my approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person-centered , and solution focused therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
