Background and Experience

Currently I am licensed in Louisiana and Texas as a Professional Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist.  I am a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors–aacc.net and a Clinical Fellow Member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy–aamft.org

I attended Baylor University and received a Bachelor of Arts with a major in psychology.  I also graduated with a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

My experience has included working at an adolescent psychiatric hospital for three years, then working at a community mental health center for approximately seven years providing individual, marriage, and family counseling in Plainview, Texas.  While there I provided therapy for a variety of issues including marriage and family problems, mental health issues, and substance abuse.  I also provided supervision for counselors obtaining their license and coordinated crisis services and the local outpatient counseling center.

Through my private practice, I have continued to provide counseling to individuals, marriages, and families since I moved back to Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1997.  For more information about my counseling services and perspective see Counseling Perspective.
