Counseling is my passion! Working with kids/teens for quite a few years now, I have learned many things and love to help them deal with life's issues. They face many challenges in today's crazy world and sometimes need a safe place to be able to talk about what is going on; such as parents' divorce, death, suicide, sexual/physical/verbal abuse, behavior problems, self-esteem issues, ADHD, problems in the classroom, self mutilation, or depression. This is just a start of the host of things that our kids deal with daily. Today's world is so fast paced and sometimes they get lost in the shuffle. I have been a teacher of 5th, 6th and 8th graders and I have also worked with the children and youth at my church for. Currently, I work as the counselor at Freshwater Elementary in Denham Springs. I love my little ones and get to plant seeds daily. Nothing better than the unconditional love given so freely by these kids! I take this calling to heart and strive to be a positive force for each child daily. I received my LPC in April of 2017, and also have my NCC and NCSC certifications. I am married to my best friend, Kevin, and we have three incredible daughters we adore and that make life very interesting! Raising daughters...kids in general...is a tough job, but we have enjoyed the journey so far and look forward to what is to come.I am currently seeing clients in Denham Springs.
