About
To make sure I give you prompt attention, please TEXT me at (985) 778-6049 your name, email address and mobile number. It takes courage to ask for help, especially from someone you don't know. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and clinical pastoral counselor, I work with individuals and couples to resolve common human problems. You will benefit from the clinical competence, experience and maturity gained from more than forty years in practice. TEXT to me your name, email address and mobile number. Again, save time by texting me at (985) 778-6049 your name, email address and mobile number. Depression, anxiety and exhaustion can be consequences of unresolved conflict, painful loss, overthinking, worrying, procrastinating, people-pleasing, approval-seeking, and care-taking. Our focus will be on healthier self-care. Contacting a seasoned therapist can be an important step toward enjoying more consistent happiness and fulfillment. My private practice hours are Monday-Thursday, 6:00AM, 7:00AM, Noon, 5:00PM, 6:00PM, 7:00PM and 8:00PM, either in-person in my in-home office in a gated community in Covington or by telehealth live video. Text to me at (985) 778-6049 your name, email address and mobile number. Specialties: I particularly enjoy working with couples who love each other but have not been communicating well. My bias is to help them stay together and keep working toward positive outcomes. My wife and I have been married for over 40 years. It hasn't always been easy but definitely worth the commitment of time, energy and devotion. If given a fair chance, love wins. Credentials & Experience: I've maintained a general counseling practice for over 45 years and now find myself specializing in couple counseling.
