Frequently Asked Questions:

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 20 years, I know how vital it is for my clients to feel they are in a safe and trusted environment. Be assured I do not share information or discuss your therapy with anyone. I hold a high standard of ethics and your trust is paramount to me.

I have compiled a list of FAQ’s for the benefit of those who are uneasy speaking with a stranger about personal or legal issues, or those who have no idea what to expect.

Please do not hesitate to contact me via email or phone to discuss any questions you may have.

Therapy, in simple terms, is when you speak privately with a professional who has been trained in specific areas to guide you to resolving problematic behaviors or to dive into your feelings to get to the root of the problem.
Should you have self destructive behaviors such as substance abuse, repetitive DUI's, anger management issues, I can help you recognize these behaviors and together we devise a plan to eliminate those issues.
I have a Master's Degree in Social Work (MSW) for over 20 years. I am licensed in the state of Louisiana and have worked with diverse populations across the country.
Absolutely not! Your "issues" remain with me and I will never breach that trust with you.
Absolutely not! In fact, I find it a level of strength for one to be seeking assistance in the first place. Individuals who can look at themselves and say, "I think I need some help here," are more self aware than others and usually more receptive to trying to find a solution to their issues rather than bury them. That depicts strength and courage, not weakness.
I look at therapy and therapist like medicine. What works for one person may not work for another. It may have been you and your therapist did not mesh, or perhaps you were not willing to open up to change. There could have been a number of things involved. What matters is that you are seeking assistance now. ALWAYS LIVE IN THE PRESENCE.
We would like to think we could for any of our issues, right? Packed on 30 pounds? Take a pill. Want bigger muscles? Take a pill. Want to expand your knowledge? Take a pill. But the fact is, if you want results in the mind, spirit, or body, we must put forth effort.
