LPC, 23 years of experience
New to Grow
Hi there! I want to end the stigma associated with seeking help, especially with black and brown people. I have spent years working with adults, couples, and families- helping people reconnect with themselves and each other using a holistic strength based approach. Healing is about learning more about yourself, your needs, and what support you need with no judgement so that you can build the relationships and life that you want as an individual or as a couple. I hold a Ph.D. in Counselor Education, as well as I hold licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of Louisiana.
In our first session together, we will go through the intake form to make sure everything is correct. The first session gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the counseling experience and it gives us a chance to get to know each other to determine whether it would be a good fit.
The greatest strengths I bring to each session is being a great listener and having a non-judgmental stance in the counseling session. I strive to make sure that each client feels seen and heard, as well as creating a safe space for clients to work on healing. The clients I am best positioned to serve I love working with adult clients of color and I am skilled at working with couples, clients that are going through life transitions, and clients are struggling with expressing themselves and communicating.
The clients that are drawn to me as a counselor are those that have gone other places and did not feel seen or heard throughout the experience. My clients come to me when they are looking to find better ways to engage at work, home, and in their relationships. Clients and couples that work with me are committed to making changes for the better so that they can show up and function in their life as the best version of themselves.
I have worked with multiple couples for over 20 years to help them strengthen their communication with each other as well how to strengthen their bond as a couple. It is important that couples make a commitment to the counseling process and each other to see the process through and do the homework.
For 20 plus years I have worked with cultural sensitivity with clients as it is important that clients know they are seen and that their experiences are valid. I work with clients to learn how to navigate spaces at work and beyond and how their culture can play a role in having better navigation of work, partner, and friendship.
