Hello there! Has your life become strange, dark, or mysterious? Are you struggling to make sense of the path you are on? Well the good news is you are not alone, and you don't have to make the journey by yourself.
I have over 9 years of experience in the field of counseling and mental health therapy. If you are seeing this, then I am glad you have taken the first steps towards seeking to improve your life and personal experience. I would be glad to help see you along the way for as long as it may be needed.
I have a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor through the Louisiana LPC Board.
My counseling style is an interactive blend of education and reframing to help you explore and understand your own values, assumptions, and ideals in a non-judgmental and open conversation. I use an odd mix between storytelling and metaphor to help my clients better understand and frame the world around them.
Share your story with me, and let's see what sense we can make!

Shane is great. Even outside of my one on one appointments I feel supported. I found it easy to let my guard down and be vulnerable talking to him. It feels more like a conversation with a good friend.

From the first time I spoke with Shane I felt like I had a real opportunity to trust him and be open about my problems with him. He is always so kind, so good at truly listening, and so wise about how to respond. I truly believe that I can trust him to direct me to a healthier perspective on everything in my life. I feel better after every conversation I get to have with him!

Out of the 4 other therapists I’ve tried in my life, Shane is by far the best. He truly listens, understands, and is willing to think deeply and provide thoughtful guidance for me. He has made a genuine difference in my life and I’ve experienced some very impactful changes since I’ve started working with him.

Shane is so easy to talk to. Our sessions are more like talking with a friend that I've known for years instead of a stranger. He listens and communicates to understand completely.

Listens, guides me to the answers and perspectives I have within myself. Helps guide me through self-introspection and to honestly critique my thinking, thought process and responses.

Shane is great. He brings insightful knowledge that inspires new ways of thinking. He bridges your current experience with theory and, to me, is extremely helpful in a time of need.

I can not more powerfully and with great confidence, recommend Shane.

Shane has helped me through a very difficult time and I value his support and guidance greatly.
Written on Oct 25, 2022 after therapy with Shane for 6 months on issues concerning relationship issues
He is genuinely one of the best therapists I've had and I've been in and out of therapy since I was a young child. What I really need from a therapist is someone who drives the conversation towards difficult topics (because with past therapists I have fallen into a pattern of only discussing superficial topics and therefore not really making any progress) while maintaining a balance of light banter and empathy that keeps it from getting too overwhelming. I feel like I am making more progress working on my severe and debilitating anxiety than I have with a therapist in many years. 10/10

Shane has been wonderful. I've only been talking to him for a few weeks now, but already feel very comfortable with him, and feel that he listens really well and responds in a kind, helpful manner.
I'm new to doing online therapy, but would highly recommend it!

Shane is very perceptive and very easy to talk to. I feel like I have a lot to work on after every session with him, and a lot to think about. I really look forward to every session, since I know we're going to make progress.

Shane has been very enlightening and I’ve appreciated every session so far. It’s my first time attending therapy, yet he makes me feel calm and understood. He has great analogies, examples and explanations that give more insight in our meetings. I’ve been implementing much of what we have discussed so far throughout my day and it makes me feel more at ease. I would highly recommend Shane and thank him for his time to help!!

Shane takes the time to really understand what is being conveyed. He is easy to talk to and somehow can always help to shift my perspective when I need help seeing the bigger picture. Happy to have connected with him. :)

Shane is amazing. I’ve had a hard time finding a therapist because I do so much self-help work that I feel like I know what they’re going to say already. I’ve only had 3 sessions and Shane has already helped me begging to resolve some things I didn’t even realize I was holding onto and have clearly been affecting me still. Shane is easy to talk to, professional but warm and caring. I’m thankful to have finally found someone I would like to see regularly.
