Thank you very much for checking here: I hope to be of service to you. My 13+ years of experience includes many years of counseling and listening, across various cultures, ages and personal client needs, with a few years as adjunct professor at Louisiana State University, Shreveport, LA: 3 years of work as a patient counselor in a hospital psychiatric unit, and 3 years of practice in a pediatric clinic. My current solo practice is empathetic, accepting and non-judgmental, having also practiced as an EAP (employee counselor) in a very large hospital and city system, in which I was required to see anyone for any situation or issue they may bring to counseling. This unique opportunity provided me with insights and understanding of people beyond my own personal scope of experience. I believe this has made me more sensitive to the needs, hurts and stress of the various clients I serve. I am generally available 7 days a week for appointments, because I really do enjoy my practice and my clients.
I am old enough to enjoy my 6 children, 14 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild, together with my wife in a delightful sharing relationship. This creates a relaxed, accepting and strong relationship and family foundation for your co unseling needs. My personal strengths hopefully convey to you a caring and positive mindset as we work together.
Hope to hear from you soon!

Curtis listens and gives wise feedback. He has a multidisciplinary professional background that really enriches the quality of his counseling. His end of the conversation guides me to self-empowerment (it's not "about him"). Grateful to work with him.

From the first session until this last session, Curtis has been very easy to open up to. In the last few months I have taken all the tools he’s given and it’s helped me so much in my daily life even for the smallest things. He has helped me find inner peace. With this peace I can allow myself to heal, move forward and reach my life goals.

Curtis has been a light house in the middle of a very difficult storm. He has the capacity to listen compassionately and at the same time keep enough objectiveness to bring clarity, wisdom and guidance. His presence has been supportive and uplifting. It is wonderful when you find a professional that is not only full of wisdom and experience but also does his work with love and can also bring into it his most human dimension. Very grateful.
