I am a licensed professional counselor in Louisiana as well as a published author. I have 12 years of professional work experience with helping clients with Stress and Anxiety, Self-esteem and mood related issues, LGBT+ counseling, Couples counseling, General relationship issues, and Depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. The counseling relationship is both professional and personal. Counselor and client work collaboratively to explore situations and identify problem areas, key stressors, individual needs, personal strengths, support systems, unused resources and possibilities for change. Counseling is not just fixing what is broken; it is discovering and nurturing your strengths.
