ABOUT ME
Starting working in the service industry at 14 years old (had the permit) and continued until age 31. I will always love my time in restaurants as it taught me so many lessons. “If I can wait on a 25 top by myself I can surely run a psychotherapy group”.
I have a Bachelors of Science from LSU in Psychology 2009 and a Masters of Health Sciences from LSUHSC-NO in Clinical Rehabilitation and Counseling 2013
As a Louisiana native, I have a deep love for this city, its culture and its people. Let me help you on your path to discovering a better you each day.
I use an integrated perspective of therapy to align with your personal goals and individual needs.
BUT LET’S GET REAL…
There is always choices even when they are invisible
Therapy can be difficult. The process to heal and progress takes effort which is pretty hard for someone to start when they feel inadequate. I am here to listen and to walk through those feelings with you . The first big step is to call. Do you have communication issues with your family/friends that just doesn’t seem to ever be resolved? Do you feel like the crazy stuff happening in the world is personally affecting your mind? Let’s talk it out. You are so much stronger than you think you are.
My practice will always be a Queer Affirming practice and as a mixed race gay male I hope to ensure judgment free space to explore any aspect of your life with you.
I have experience working with many different populations over the past decade -LGBTQIA+
-BIPOC
-PWD
-Addiction

Humor is big with me also

I also present locally in conference settings as part of professional continuing education programs.
Licensed Professional Counselor 6170
I’m pretty direct as a therapist and do not shy away from confronting issues that present themselves. Building rapport within our treatment is paramount.
