Hello, I'm John!

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. I also 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.
