About Me

At Woods Counseling Services, my mission is to help people heal and thrive. As a licensed professional counselor and certified sex addiction therapist, I’ve been dedicated to supporting individuals and couples through their most challenging moments since becoming fully licensed in 2018. My professional journey began at McNeese State University, where I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I hold credentials from the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP) and am licensed in Louisiana and Texas.

Family is at the core of my life. My spouse and I have shared over a decade together, navigating the ups and downs and growing closer through it all. Our three wonderful kids bring joy, chaos, and countless lessons about love and life into our home.

Music is another big part of my life. As a member of my church's worship team for over ten years, I’ve seen firsthand how music can bridge gaps and bring people together. It’s about creating shared emotional experiences and building a sense of community.

When I need a break from the daily grind, I turn to the great outdoors. Fishing at the Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge is my go-to escape, where I can relax and enjoy nature.

I'm also a part-time professional photographer and videographer. I collaborate with businesses to create compelling content for their branding and marketing. This side work allows me to tell stories and capture moments that truly resonate with people. During the pandemic, photography became my way of coping, and it quickly turned into a passion. I found so much joy in capturing beautiful images and sharing them with others.

Living these varied roles helps me understand and relate to the challenges my clients face. Whether it's managing family dynamics, finding balance through hobbies, or pursuing creative passions, these experiences allow me to offer a more comprehensive and empathetic approach to therapy.

At Woods Counseling Services, I’m here to support your journey to healing and growth, drawing from both my professional expertise and personal experiences. Let’s work together to find your path to wellness, one step at a time.
