I believe that all individuals can benefit from counseling. It is my hope that together, we will work to find the core issues that are connected to pain and chaos in one’s life. Whether you have just endured a trauma or are ready to understand yourself better, I would consider it an honor to come along side you as you discover areas of growth, strength, and change. I strive to make my clients feel comfortable during session, so that they feel safe enough to be open and honest about their therapeutic journey. I have experience with anxiety, depression, partner betrayal, addiction, trauma, guilt, shame, and family of origin issues.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with over 7 years of experience of working with adolescents and adults as a school counselor, mental health counselor, and substance abuse counselor. My life and work experiences in public and private organizations and as a minister have helped me develop expertise and clinical tools to educate and assist others in their life journey.

I believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect no matter what background they come from or their past issues. My therapeutic approach follows the "golden rule," and if you believe in the golden rule, then I am the counselor for you. Upon meeting me, you will experience a sense of restoration from my genuine character.

Life can definitely be a challenge and it is important to receive unconditional positive regard and support from an experienced counselor. So, whether you need assistance with a breakthrough or just need someone to talk with in a safe and therapeutic environment, I am the right fit for you!
