I combine person-centered, reality therapy, and emotion-focused theories in my individual practice. In marriage/couples therapy, I employ the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy. I highly value the therapeutic relationship, emphasizing rapport-building and supporting clients in developing their potential. I believe in the resilience of the human spirit and promote my clients' power of choice when facing challenges. I aim to enhance introspection, reflection, and self-awareness, empowering clients to navigate their past, present, and future with hope and empowerment despite life's trials.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biology (2009) and a Master's degree in Educational Leadership (2016). I have worked as an Assistant Principal in the Beauregard Parish School System and currently serve at a local elementary school. After 13 years in education, I pursued counseling, earning a second Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (2023).
I promote and embrace the practice of mindfulness and gratitude, the value of human connection, and the importance of finding meaning in one’s life. In my free time, I enjoy reading, meditating, learning, trying new foods, watching movies, and spending time with my wife and blended family of three children.

I provide diverse services with an integrative approach, valuing the uniqueness of each client. My preferred approach is existential-humanistic, focusing on person-centered therapy. This involves reflecting and summarizing clients' feelings and thoughts to ensure they feel understood. Rather than interpreting their actions, I use skilled questioning to grasp their intended communication.
