About me

I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist for over nine years. I enjoy helping individuals, couples and families improve communication and find unique solutions to achieve their goals. I have previously worked in school-based therapy and have experience working with teenagers and young adults. I am originally from southern California and graduated with my Masters of Science in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University. Before that I graduated from Butler University with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology where I also played varsity football. I currently live in Indianapolis with my wife and two children. In my free time, I enjoy sports, comedies, and spending time with my family.

Mr. Sykes has been very thorough and open minded and dealing with our marriage issues and has supported us and has been nothing but affair and patient therapist. I highly recommend him.

Lamar has been very helpful as I try to work on bettering my relationship with my wife. He listens to what both of us have to say about our experiences and feelings then works with us to make progress in achieving our relationship goals. He is also great at understanding and integrating our individual thoughts and concerns into the overall relationship so we can learn more about ourselves, each other, and our relationship.
