I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with the state of Louisiana. I have over 8 years of counseling experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of issues including addiction, depression, anxiety, grief, parenting issues, relationship and marriage issues. I approach counseling from a cognitive-behavioral perspective, in that patterns of thoughts and actions are explored in order to better understand the client’s problems and develop solutions. I see the counseling relationship as a process in which my client and I build a relationship based on trust and respect, work together as a team to determine and explore presenting problems, develop goals and skills that will improve the client’s life, and work toward achieving those goals and experiencing solutions that benefit the client overall. I want to work with my clients to help them better understand themselves and the challenges they are facing, develop healthy coping skills, and to find hope in whatever challenges they may be facing. I look forward to working with you!

I am an LPC-S in the state of Louisiana in which I have practiced Chemical Dependency and Community Mental Health Counseling for 23 years. My passion is working with women who have experienced domestic violence; trauma; post-tramatic disorder; emotional, verbal, and physical abuse; self esteem issues; and substance dependence issues. I prefer this population because I was Clinical Director of Counseling at the YWCA and counseled a myriad of problems. I had a private practice for a few years entitled POWER Counseling Services. The title was an acronym for Power Of Women's Empowerment & Recovery. I, also, have a passion for working with clients of addiction because that is the area in which I received my Masters of Arts degree. I have worked with addiction clients inpatient, as well as, outpatient. I am an empathetic person and I try to uplift, encourage, and engage with my clients in this manner.
