About
Bio
Besides being in private practice in Baton Rouge for 32 years, I teach at LSU (Honors College) and play guitar in a band. My wife of 35 years is Professor of Psychology and Director of Clinical Training at LSU. We have three wonderful adult daughters. My philosophy is holistic and I help adult clients with a wide range of individual and relationship issues. I have extensive experience treating PTSD including many very severe and complex cases. Feel free to ask me anything.
