Services to Empower Lives Together

Individual Psychotherapy

I provide individual psychotherapy for adults seeking support with a wide range of emotional and life‑related challenges. Over the years, I have counseled individuals experiencing grief, depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, adolescent issues, health‑related stressors, work difficulties, family conflict, parenting concerns, and the complex transitions that come with marriage, divorce, and other major life changes. Some clients begin therapy during times of significant distress, while others come in proactively to strengthen coping skills and prevent future difficulties.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s unique needs. I draw from a variety of therapeutic foundations and evidence‑based treatment modalities, allowing me to meet clients where they are and help them work toward their personal goals. Together, we identify patterns that contribute to distress, build emotional insight, and develop practical tools for managing challenges more effectively.

Therapy offers a supportive and grounded space to gain clarity, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help clients move toward greater stability, self‑understanding, and overall well‑being.

Couples Therapy

I work with couples at all stages of their relationship, from those experiencing ongoing conflict to those seeking support as a preventative measure. Some partners come in to address communication difficulties, recurring disagreements, or trust concerns, while others choose counseling proactively to strengthen their relationship and build healthier patterns before problems escalate.

My approach focuses on helping couples identify interaction cycles that contribute to tension and guiding them toward more effective, respectful, and emotionally grounded ways of relating. Sessions often include improving communication skills, clarifying expectations, developing conflict‑resolution strategies, and increasing understanding of each partner’s emotional needs.

Whether couples are seeking repair, growth, or prevention, my goal is to support long‑term stability and healthier, more connected relationships.

Family Therapy

I provide family counseling to help families navigate conflict, improve communication, and strengthen overall functioning. Families seek support for many reasons—parent‑child conflict, sibling conflict, transitions, behavioral concerns, co‑parenting challenges, or simply a desire to create a more stable and supportive home environment.

In sessions, I work to create a structured and safe space where each family member can be heard and understood. I help families identify patterns that contribute to tension and guide them toward more cooperative, respectful, and developmentally appropriate ways of interacting. Some families come in during times of crisis, while others seek counseling as a preventative step to maintain healthy dynamics and reduce the likelihood of future conflict.

My goal is to help families build resilience, reduce stress, and develop stronger, more connected relationships that support the well‑being of every member.

Parent Coordination

As a Parent Coordinator, I provide a child‑focused process designed to help separated or divorced parents reduce conflict and implement their court‑ordered parenting plan more effectively. Parent Coordination in Louisiana is a specialized role that blends conflict resolution, education, and case management within the boundaries of state law and the ethical standards of the Louisiana Board of Social Work Examiners.

Parent Coordinators serve as neutral third parties appointed by the court or agreed upon by both parents. My role is not to provide therapy, advocate for either parent, or make legal decisions. Instead, I work to improve communication, clarify expectations, reduce misunderstandings, and assist parents in resolving day‑to‑day disputes and when appropriate, make recommendations. The focus remains on the best interests of the child and the consistent implementation of the parenting plan.

Parent Coordination provides families with a more efficient, less adversarial alternative to repeated court involvement. My goal is to help parents reduce conflict, communicate more effectively, and create a more stable and predictable environment for their children.

Professional Presentations, Lectures and Trainings

I offer speaking engagements for organizations, schools, professional groups, and community programs seeking education on various topics. With experience as an adjunct instructor at Louisiana State University and as a guest lecturer on topics such as suicide prevention, domestic violence, trauma, and co‑parenting, I provide presentations that are informative, practical, and grounded in real‑world clinical experience.

My speaking engagements are tailored to the needs of the audience and may include topics such as:

Mental health awareness and early intervention
Grief, trauma, and resilience
High‑conflict co‑parenting and communication
Stress management and emotional regulation

Whether presenting to mental health professionals, educators, parents, or community groups, my goal is to provide clear, accessible information that promotes understanding, reduces stigma, and supports healthier relationships and emotional well‑being.
