Hi — I’m John, and my mission is to help you get out of your own way. I earned my Master’s from SUNY Albany’s School of Social Welfare and have spent over a decade working with adults, teens, and families from every background — from New York to Oregon and back again. Together, we’ll challenge the worries, thoughts, and beliefs that hold you back — so you can clear a path toward the life you actually want.

The opportunity to serve clients seeking mental and behavioral health treatment is one of my life's greatest gifts. I believe in the strengths of each client, and I believe their pain, challenges, and story. Through relationship-building and a mutual exchange of information as we define and refine goals of treatment, and the use of our agreed-upon tool kit (evidence-based intervention modalities), we will engage with curiosity in a mutual exchange of information, exploring, discovering, learning, and skill building to meet treatment goals. If you know why you are here, I am here for you. If you don’t know exactly why you are here- perhaps a thought, a feeling, or experience lead you here- I am here for you. People are unique, complex, multifaceted, and deserving of care.

I have been practicing therapy for the past ten plus years, but let's be honest, I was born a therapist. I have had the opportunity to learn that we all grow together and are blessed to take this mysterious journey in our own unique way. I have lived and learned experience, as well as extensive education and training. I began my adult career as a police officer and then returned to college as an adult learner. I graduated from Keuka College with my BSW and Syracuse University with my MSW and an advanced certification in trauma. I have worked with all ages and population but primarily with addiction, trauma processing, and self-esteem issues.

At the end of the day, I am here to listen, guide, and help you learn the value of your own experiences. I specialize in trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety and mood disorders but I am also familiar with self-harm, self-image, and self-esteem issues. My goal is to help you recognize your worth, set goals, learn coping skills and strategize positive daily living. If you are ready to make moves for a better tomorrow, I am ready to help. I am trained in CBT, mindfulness, DBT, motivational interviewing, with advanced specialties in trauma informed care. Let's change the narrative on tomorrow. I look forward to connecting and working with you!

I offer a safe, respectful, nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly about what’s on your mind. I see therapy as a partnership, with your goals, values, and voice guiding our work. I tailor sessions to your needs using evidence-based tools, and I may suggest simple between-session practices to help you build insight, resilience, and lasting change.

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, heard and accepted. My goal is to create a space where you be yourself without fear of judgement. A place where you can explore both the challenges you're facing and the strengths you already possess.
