About Dr.
I am licensed in Louisiana with 15 years of professional clinical experience. I have helped many cope with and overcome a variety of challenges, crises, conflicts, and griefs. Yet, I feel therapy is a type of partnership whereby two experts work together to realize a healing end, one providing the guidance, and the other execution. So, it's not all my training, ability, or even wisdom that has gifted me so many opportunities to see people become so much more than they ever thought they could be. It's also the person that decides to live their life better today than it was yesterday. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy is not easy, but everything we know about recovery is clear to how powerfully therapeutic taking these first steps can be. Welcome to your journey of self-care! I'm grateful to be of some assistance along the way. Read more Show less
