I have a PhD in Social Work from Tulane and over 30 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker. I serve as a Full Professor at Southern University of New Orleans School of Social Work. I am a Mediator, a certified premarital counselor, a custody evaluator, and an ordained minister.
My approach is holistic utilizing a variety of techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, family systems, motivational interviewing, coaching, and bibliotherapy. My goal is to help clients experience positive change within 5 to 7 sessions.
After the first session, most clients feel motivated, respected and heard. I spend the first session listening to the clients' story and helping them to begin to think about solutions and ways to take care of themselves.
