About Bill
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of experience helping clients navigate life’s challenges. My background includes supporting individuals within the LGBTQ community, as well as those coping with trauma, grief, and a variety of mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. I strive to provide compassionate and affirming care, ensuring clients feel understood and supported in their journey toward healing and personal growth.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling and Student Personnel Services from Northwestern State University of Louisiana. I use an integrative approach tailored to the unique needs of each client, blending evidence-based practices with a person-centered focus to create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment.
I believe in meeting clients where they are and providing a safe, affirming space for healing. My goal is to help clients feel fully accepted, build resilience, and find meaningful strategies for growth. Together, we work to overcome challenges and move toward a healthier, more balanced life.
"As an experienced clinician, I have worked with a variety of clients and client needs."
