I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in individual and couples therapy, and maintain a private practice in Shreveport, Louisiana. With over 17 years experience as a therapist, and as a graduate of LSU Shreveport specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I am currently serving as a private practitioner working with a broad spectrum of clients. Among my areas of expertise are addictions, relapse prevention, couples issues (including premarital and divorce counseling), trauma, and spirituality issues.
In addition, I have presented at conferences and to general audiences speaking on the topics of compulsive gambling, spirituality, life management skills, and alternative therapies. I am an interactive, solution-focused therapist. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.
