Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—from yourself, your goals, or your relationships? Whether it’s anxiety, stress, addiction, or relationship conflict, I help clients find clarity, direction, and emotional strength.
I specialize in working with men and teen males navigating life’s challenges—from burnout and performance pressure to identity struggles, emotional shutdown, or relationship strain. My focus is helping you regain traction, reconnect with your values, and move forward with purpose.
With five years of clinical experience, I integrate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, EMDR, and Narrative Therapy into sessions that are practical, focused, and results-driven. Whether you're a high-achieving professional, a college student facing pressure, or a teen figuring out your place in the world—I meet you where you are with clarity, strategy, and genuine support.
Sessions are available in-person or online, depending on your preference.
Here’s what some clients have shared about their experience in therapy with John:
In their hardest moments, many clients have come to John feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward. Through a calm, supportive approach, John helps people work through emotional pain one step at a time. Clients often say they begin to feel more grounded and hopeful, finding direction, making progress toward their goals, and feeling less weighed down by the past.
Those who’ve done EMDR with John frequently share that painful memories start to lose their hold, and they begin to see themselves and their stories in a new, more healed light.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed and don’t know where to begin, you don’t have to go through it alone. Reach out today to take the first step toward feeling better.
"Hope Harbor is truly amazing. The EMDR therapy I received combined with expert counseling had a dramatic impact on me - I am more decisive and courageous in business, I am more present at home, all of my relationships have improved, with my wife, my sons, and my parents… I cannot recommend them to you highly enough. 100% worth every penny."
"My therapist Annie is amazing! Im so happy I found her. I really feel like she gets me, and she’s as eager for me to start the healing process as I am. I’ve learned so much from her in such a short time and it’s made all the difference. Hope harbor is Well worth the time and investment. 10/10 recommend."
