Feeling disconnected or stuck in conflict? I’m an LPC at Lake Area Counseling, specializing in couples/marriage. With an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (2023) and 15 years in education, I help couples and individuals turn challenges into growth. Using the Gottman Method and Reality Therapy, I offer practical tools and empowerment to strengthen relationships and resilience. Whether it’s rejection, trust issues, or personal struggles, I’m here with empathy and evening/weekend availability (M-Th 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM or Fri-Sun 9 AM–9 PM). Call (337) 242-3860 to start building a better today—on the world’s softest sofa or online!
I blend the Gottman Method’s research-backed tools—like conflict repair and connection-building—with Reality Therapy’s focus on choice and need fulfillment. For couples, this means stronger bonds; for individuals, it’s empowerment through person-centered and emotion-focused care. Expect practical steps to meet your goals now.
Couples: We’ll use Gottman’s framework to fix rejection or trust issues with bids and repair tools, plus Reality Therapy for present choices.
Individuals: Explore goals in a safe space and gain empowerment via practical steps. Both leave with skills for lasting change.
