I have been found to be very effective in conducting mental health/substance abuse interventions and therapy. I treat individuals that present with persistent mental illness to impaired professionals including lawyers, pilots, entrepreneurs and other high-achieving individuals who are experiencing difficulty managing their careers and relationships due to dual diagnosis, psychiatric disorder, demands of stress and all types of addictions. With several years of inpatient, outpatient, and clinic experience, I become known for being able to identify and treat the real problem. Let's work together, you truly can feel better!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of Louisiana, with several years’ experience in mental health counseling. I received a Master's of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern University A&M College. Throughout my clinical career I have worked with adult and adolescent clients from various backgrounds with acute and chronic mental illness, as well as dual diagnosis. I approach therapy with an eclectic, flexible mix of strength based, mindful and CBT based approach.

I have learned that every individual has unique therapeutic needs and because of this, I strive to create an environment where you can discover your own inner strength and resilience in a setting that is filled with safety and compassion. I believe in a collaborative approach focusing on your own strengths and values. We will focus on internal struggles and challenges and also learn skills that can be implemented in daily life by changing behaviors that may be roadblocks to finding the life that you are striving for.

Your mental health is very important. Whether you are struggling with a new problem or one that has been on-going, an emotional problem or a bio-chemical one, or even relationship challenges, getting support can make a world of difference. Establishing a safe environment to talk and building a trusting relationship is essential in building a therapeutic relationship. I provide a warm and caring environment for you to trust and share intimate thoughts and feelings, including at times, conflicting thoughts, anxious feelings, depressed mood, traumatic events, etc.

The first step toward change is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are. I applaud you for taking that step! I would be honored to create a collaborative space to explore the barriers that may be keeping you from where and who you want to be.

I believe in beginning therapy with a client by starting where they are at and partnering with them to set goals that are right for them. I am passionate about helping couples reconnect using Imago Relationship Therapy. I also have a passion for persons struggling with addiction or abusive relationships.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working with clients who live in Tennessee, North Carolina, and Texas. I graduated with Master's of Science in Counseling Psychology in 2014, and have 10 years of experience working with people from all walks of life. Most commonly, I have worked with clients struggling with: Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Suicidal Ideation, and adjustments to life changes.

My treatment philosophy is to provide a safe and supportive environment for my clients to share their unique experiences, gain additional insights, and learn positive coping skills to maximize psychosocial functioning. Psychotherapy is a collaborative effort between therapist and client, where the client is an active participant. Together, we work on developing individualized treatment goals and interventions using a variety of psychotherapeutic modalities. As a clinical social worker, I believe my client's relationship with the environment is essential in fostering healthy mental, emotional, and behavioral functioning.

The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. -Nelson Mandela Sometimes we really want growth, change and/or to just feel better, but we can be scared to take those first steps to making change. Men, in particular men of color, find seeking help as a sign of weakness. I am here to tell you that this is one of the bravest things you could ever do and the rewards are limitless when you face this challenge. Therapy can be scary new waters, but you reading these words now is proof that you have been brave enough to dip your toe in the waters of change- so jump on in- the water is just fine!

I specialize in helping stressed out professionals, angry men, and marriages who need to learn the rules of healthy communication. I am also uniquely equipped to help those who have experienced severe trauma in their lives or who are struggling with addiction.

Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Are you feeling overwhelmed or just plain stuck in life? I help people restructure their damaged relationships. Relationships are more than romantic interactions between two people. Relationships as I define it can be with anyone or anything that you exchange energy with. The biggest relationship that we struggle to understand and grow with is the person staring at us in the mirror each morning. No matter what relationship your struggling with ( work, home, family, yourself.) I'm here to help.

My experience in working with Veteran, military, and general adult population clients in English and Spanish, allows me to be empathetic to your unique needs. I tailor your treatment goals through a collaborative approach that allows us to work as a team to empower you to getting back to better. I work with couples presenting with problems in communication and a lack of mutual understanding. Military and Veteran couples also struggle with adjustment to deployments and transitions. With individuals, I specialize in helping you manage trauma, PTSD, anger, depression, insomnia, anxiety, and to help you rediscover who you are.

Therapy is a relationship that works in part because of clearly defined roles and responsibilities held by each person. This frame helps to create the safety to take risks and the support, empower and create sustained change. I provide individual/partner/ marital/couples counseling.

Are you in need of a more satisfying life? Perhaps you feel like there is no way out of your situation. Do you need freedom from symptoms like anxiety, panic, depression and up-and-down moods? These can impact your relationships, work, school, sobriety, self-worth and your overall life experience. You may be dealing with issues with your identity as LGBTQIA+. You would like a strong sense of self and pride in who you are yet you are met with challenges. Perhaps your difficult experience is anger and rage and this has affected your relationships and communication. Perhaps you find it difficult to remain sober.

I use a solution-focused and person-centered approach, and work best with people who enjoy finding creative solutions to what's bothering them. Most of my clients are interested in being goal-focused, constructing meaningful solutions, identifying appropriate community resources, and engaging in respectful and collaborative dialogue.

A portion of Jeremiah 8:22 says, "Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is there no healing for the wound of my people...". I am not a physician but I considers myself a scientist of the soul. Most often on our journey home, we have experience moral, soul, financial, spiritual, physical, biological, psychological, emotional and mental injuries to name a few. But, how do we navigate to find Shalom, aka "peace" to live the life we were created for? We often feels trap in life's puzzle. Take a moment and let's talk!

My goal is to provide hope, understanding, and a non-judgmental space for my clients to process through their life transitions, trauma, mood disorders, and anxiety. I am a supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community, body positive, and believe in normalizing mental health. I have over 10 years experience in providing mental health services to adult and adolescents in various settings. If you are experiencing distress, need a judgment-free zone to talk about your concerns, or just need an empathic listener, please contact me.
