I have travel extensively for the past 7 years working with Military members traveling abroad as a solution oriented counselor. I continue to embrace and respect the various cultural experiences as an opportunity to effectively relate to all of humanity.

I believe every person develops an internal story about themselves that tends to dictate the way they live, how they interpret experiences, and how they respond to life stressors. For various reasons, we can begin to see ourselves as characters in our life stories rather than active agents who are in control of the way our life unfolds. This in turn affects our outlook, thoughts, mood, choices, and relationships.

For over 40 + years I have been an advocate for children and families in need of mental health services. It has been gratifying to provide a milieu of services that has effectively met the needs of my clients.

I have successfully implemented Parenting and Fathering Models which have had a micro and macro impact on service delivery in Louisiana.

Recent events have had a major impact on us all. Social isolation, increased tensions, and financial difficulty, everyone seems to be struggling in some way. Alcohol, drugs, and pornography often seem like a good way to escape. Unfortunately, this can result in anxiety, depression, or loss of relationships.

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of learning difficulties, including those caused by AD/HD. My approach to academic difficulties goes beyond the limited information contained in a diagnosis. I identify the specific causes of learning problems that can be targeted with academic therapy or accommodations in the classroom. I provide detailed interventions and recommendations that target specific cognitive processes (e.g., working memory, processing speed, planning, organization, etc.), higher level language and comprehension skills, and basic academic skills required for efficient learning. I use the latest research on individual differences to tailor interventions.

The counseling relationship is a professional, working relationship. Building a successful counseling relationship takes work and dedication from the client as well as the clinician.

From there we can begin to work on identifying your present problems as well as defining your goals for counseling. I look forward to working with you!

As a hard working individual, stressed out and anxious have become your new normal. Every morning, you put on a brave face and smile as you step onto the corporate battle field. There are times that you fly off the handle over the simplest things, and yet can't explain why something so small would get you so bent out of shape. Day by day, the irritation seems to be tightening its grasp. You find yourself losing sleep, wondering if you left any tasks undone. It's becoming impossible to enjoy the activities you love because you are such a tightly wound ball of nerves. Work-life balance is starting to sound like a fairy tale.

With all of my clients, my goal is to work with them mutually on developing solutions and providing them with the tools they need to live confident, independent, and successful lives (#liveyourbestlife). I’m most passionate about working with clients in the LGBTQ+ community and related issues, but I also enjoy working with clients that have other struggles such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, anger, coping skills, life transitions, self-esteem, stress, emotional control, etc.

I work best with clients who are interested in deep reflective work, exploring how their early attachments, past relationships, and traumas impact their lives. I enjoy work that is creative and fluid and will often step outside the bounds of traditional talk therapy to help clients move through difficult barriers to healing such as emotional dysregulation, dissociation, and parts of self.

I cannot promise you that I will make your problems go away, but I can provide you with tools to use to cope with your stressors and alleviate your negative emotions.
