Hello, I'm John!

​

Do you struggle with chronic stress? Would you like help healing your self image and relationships? Do you feel lost, anxious, and overwhelmed? Have you or a loved one struggled with addiction to a substance or even too much gaming? I specialize in working with young adults and often their families to find new ways of overcoming their struggles. I will help you get unstuck using a variety of evidence-based models of therapy. 

​

I also enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. I help distant couples feel reconnected as well as help others whose lives have been impacted by pornography. Are you experiencing relationship problems? Has your life been impacted in some way by pornography? Do you just feel stuck, worn down, frustrated, or even hopeless with the constant struggle with your relationships or yourself?

 

No matter what you are going through you do not have to navigate it alone. I will compassionately and proactively focus on resolving your issues and equipping you with the tools to live your best life. Your story is unique and so will be your journey of healing. 

 

Now is the perfect time to reach out and find help! Call me for your free 15 minute consultation.
