- LPC
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.
I approach each client's journey with empathy, respect, and a collaborative spirit, believing that every individual has the innate capacity for healing and transformation.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

John is amazing! Very knowledgeable and extremely easy to talk to.
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.
A wonderful therapist. Very understanding and supportive.
A thoughtful, kind listener
He has helped me in so many ways within a short amount of time.
John is incredible! I highly recommend him
I’m a 19-year-old college student, and I started seeing John after I was in a serious car accident. It really shook me up, and I’ve been dealing with a lot of stress, anxiety, and depression because of it. John has been a huge help in guiding me through everything and helping me process what happened. He listens without judgment, offers real strategies that actually help, and creates a space where I feel safe and heard. I’m really grateful for his support—it’s made a big difference in how I’m coping and moving forward.
He is great. He reaches out during the week all the time and answers any questions I may have!
John is a WONDERFUL therapist. Kind, caring and very helpful!!
