Marla is a Registered Addiction Counselor and Certified Grief Specialist, licensed by the Louisiana Addictive Disorder Regulatory Authority.
She has had the privilege of working in a variety of treatment settings, including both inpatient and outpatient substance abuse programs. Her professional background also includes working with the incarcerated population through a Rehabilitation Diversion Program at the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office, providing individual and family interventions, and facilitating grief therapy.
Marla utilizes a cognitive behavioral approach, focusing on the here and now. She helps clients recognize whether their current actions are moving them closer to—or farther from—the lasting changes needed for successful recovery. Drawing on her personal recovery experience and training in grief therapy, she works to guide individuals out of the darkness of addiction and into freedom from the bondage of self.
She believes that every person struggling with addiction or alcoholism deserves the opportunity to recover and live a different life.
