I  love this community and I truly believe that every family that I serve has the capacity to make Acadiana better. I graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 2006, with my bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Studies. I completed my master’s degree in human services with Specialization in Marriage and Family, in 2017. Upon obtaining my master’s degree, I became a certified Marriage Enrichment Facilitator using the Prepare and Enrich curriculum. I also completed my SYMBIS certification in 2019. With these certifications, I am able to provide affordable couples counseling, premarital counseling and so much more.My husband and I founded The Family Connection Inc. in April 2018.
