Jennifer’s Story

Erin’s Story

I have always had a heart to help. I initially went to college to pursue a career in music, but after taking my first marriage and family therapy class,  I was inspired to become a Christian counselor. After graduate school, I began working with youth at a state facility. I enjoyed the work but felt as though something was missing. Once licensed, I was mentored at a private practice in Dallas, Texas with a Heart-Focused therapy model that is rooted in Biblical truths. It was during this season of growing and learning that I believe I recognized my calling and felt my purpose as a counselor was firmly rooted. In 2010, I established Wood Christian Counseling, and since then, I have enjoyed working in a thriving full-time private practice. Over the last several years, I have also developed a heart to mentor and train other counselors. I desire to help them cultivate sound and mature skills that provide real, lasting change, and hope for our clients.

I was raised traveling the world and volunteering. When I was 15 years old I knew I wanted to be a counselor and help others. While I was in college I fell in love with the social work field and it’s helping prospectives. Longing to understand life’s purpose I came to know the Lord. I completed a master’s degree in social work and gained experience in my field by working with children and families in foster care/ adoption, schools, and children’s health care. After taking a break from work to have my children, I met Jennifer, and began counseling at her office. I have found that what has helped my clients through the years is a group of very eclectic tools that are practical and hands on. I strongly believe in individualized whole health treatment that emphasizes connection. I have a sincere appreciation and proactive focus on research and education which has driven me to seek out specialized trainings to create doctor and community connections within our office.
