Therapists in Saint Tammany Parish, LA

With 30 years in clinical practice, I've worked with multiple challenging issues. These issues include sexual abuse; sexual compulsion & addiction; substance abuse; Military/Veteran psychological health post-deployment; and high suicide risk. Trauma has been a recurrent theme throughout all of these treatment issues, and a I have developed a special interest in working with trauma and the surrounding issues. I particularly enjoy treating trauma with a combination of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy).

I am fully licensed in both MS and LA. Life can be full of challenges and we navigate each day as best we can.

Much of what I have learned about people, I learned from my dad who was a pastor for 55 years. I too have been in ministry for 30+ years. I see people every day people starving for fulfillment that is lasting and not just "feel good" emotions. Many people have had no foundation in life. They have been kicked from one place to another all of their lives. This causes deep wounds that need to be healed. I seek to "help" bring that healing. I consider my calling as a counselor one of great privilege, honor, and second only to my own family.

Mental health conditions are some of the most commonly occurring health-related conditions in the US, as 1 in 4 people have (or meet criteria for) a diagnosable mental disorder.

Each client deserves a collaborative, accepting environment to discuss growth, empowerment, change, and healing.
