Therapists in Sabine Parish, LA

My practice specializes in marriage counseling and couple therapy. I also work with individuals on a wide-range of mental health, career transition, substance use, and life transition issues. I have worked with more than 2,800 couples in my career, addressing relationship concerns and finding solutions to chronic dissatisfaction, infidelity, poor communication, intimacy problems, and family conflict. For persons who are uncertain about remaining in their marriage, "discernment counseling" is available to help an ambivalent spouse gain clarity about their relationship commitment and options for bringing about needed change.

Life provides experiences that can be challenging and difficult to overcome. Sometimes these difficulties present in feelings of sadness, grief, worry, or relationship problems. Despite the problem there is hope to be able understand how these experiences can shape us to be stronger and better ready to handle life, so that we can live it to our fullest potential.

Sometimes in life we run into times that are hard to navigate alone; entering a new phase in life, getting through a break-up or trouble in a relationship, communicating with one another, anger, life transitions, parenting issues and/or blended families. Possibly you, your child or you both have ADHD? I can help with tools for focus and tips for making your day start and go more smoothly, to include that troublesome homework time. Experiencing parenting issues, anxiety and/or depression, I can help you and/or your family work things out and get to a better place.

When life happens, sometimes it can leave us feeling powerless, voiceless and alone, like there’s nowhere to turn and nothing we can do. However, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, the answers to many of life’s struggles are already within each of us. We just need help uncovering the solutions.

I work with a wide range of individual, couple, and family concerns, life adjustment, substance abuse, and mental health issues.

Life can be really hard and present many challenges. Whether those challenges be in the form of relationships, jobs, abuse, trauma, anxiety or depression, it is difficult to walk through them alone. It would be my privilege to walk alongside you on your journey of healing, and to provide support each step of the way. You can have the life you want, meet the goals you set for yourself, and live each day with peace and joy, and I would be grateful for the opportunity to join you on that journey.
