Therapists in Baton Rouge, LA

Life can be challenging at any age! Youth, teens, young adults and seniors can often overcome struggles and learn to cope in a safe, confidential, judge-free environment. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have had the pleasure of helping individuals reach their greatest potential as we worked together addressing many different issues and concerns.

You actually want a harmonious relationship, full of warmth, love, and connection, but somehow your significant other finds a way to accuse you of being inconsiderate, selfish, and lacking in understanding. You want the two of you to be able to get along and enjoy each other’s company, but often feel overwhelmed by your partner’s demands, constant complaints, and need for control. Maybe there’s a theme of not feeling appreciated, protected, wanted, seen, or heard. Do you want the good news or bad news first? Nearly all loving relationships experience exactly what you and your significant other are experiencing AND it can get better.

I work with individuals seeking supportive mental health care & guidance to address problems with anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness and life transitions.

It takes courage to reflect on yourself and examine your innermost thoughts, feelings, and motives for why you act the way you do. It’s not an easy task, but it's necessary to become healthy. I want to help you achieve this goal. I don’t want to label, stigmatize, or “cure” anyone. I want to help people understand the behaviors that are negatively affecting their lives so that they can create ones that are more satisfying, fulfilling, and meaningful. And I use my knowledge and experience to support anyone interested in doing so.

Counseling is not just an educational endeavor for me, it is my true life’s passion. As my primary spiritual/natural gift, my purpose on earth is to utilize my counseling skills to serve others in any capacity that I can. We have all felt sad, angry, lonely, misunderstood, unforgiven, misused, abused, fed up, and so on and so forth. Our goal in therapy would be to examine your emotional well being and how it impacts your life. While you process through everything from past trauma to current conflicts, it is significant to know that your growth and healing is what is most important to me.
