As a licensed therapist in Louisiana, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life challenges with a compassionate and affirming approach. My practice centers on helping clients navigate diverse experiences, including LGBTQ+ journeys, relationship dynamics, family conflicts, and personal growth.
I bring a deep understanding of mental health challenges across various life stages, from young adulthood through aging. My therapeutic approach is rooted in creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, heal from past experiences, and develop stronger self-understanding.
My expertise spans a wide range of focus areas, including trauma recovery, communication challenges, social anxiety, life transitions, and personal identity exploration. I am committed to supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes, helping them build resilience, self-love, and meaningful connections.

Written on Aug 28, 2025 after therapy with John for 4 months on issues concerning addictions
John is excellent at turning complex language and ideas about mental health into digestible, everyday language that is relatable and easy to understand. He quick to trouble shoot the problem and to offer a variety of useful strategies to overcome the challenges faced. If you’re open to being honest and putting in the time to do “homework” assigned, you’ll see results.
