Frank has an extensive background working with people seeking a sense of stability. He has provided care in a wide variety of settings including inpatient, community mental health, and private practice. His work centers on improving awareness of one’s genuine self while understanding the context that the self occupies. He works well with individuals seeking the insight and confidence to break out of maladaptive cycles present in their lives.
This work tends to be collaborative and insight driven, with emphasis on understanding the self and the way in which we respond to the world. Initial sessions will generally involve joining and sharing ideas and perspectives. A primary goal of the initial session is to establish a sense of trust and safety. Once this is accomplished, exploration of social and emotional context becomes the priority.
Frank is able to work with individuals from many different backgrounds and age groups. He has experience providing individual, couples, and family therapy. He works effectively with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationships, identity, life transitions, substance use, and neurodivergence. He currently provides therapy via telehealth.
Frank holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Northwestern State University and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from McNeese State University, and has been serving his community as an LPC since 2011. He has extensive training in cognitive-behavioral therapy, depth psychology, and hypnotherapy, much of it through the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, and also draws on Structural Family Therapy and motivational interviewing. He looks forward to aiding others in better understanding their true selves.
