Adults, older teens, and couples are welcome. I have nearly 15 years of experience as a Counselor and strive to provide a Positive and even Fun approach that I hope you will enjoy! Motivational Therapy and Positive Psychology work and they can be applied to work for you. Support, insight, awareness, and growth, are associated with therapy for a reason. There IS help for a wide variety of problems that may have you feeling anxious or hopeless today.
Session #1 is often used as a "get to know you" appointment since therapist and client must decide if the relationship is the "right fit" for success.
My style is enthusiastic & engaging in a comfortable relaxed manner. Therapy can be fun & entertaining, when appropriate. Counseling can provide laughter & compassion, while helping you achieve the change & success you want. People of all ages often talk about how enjoyable our sessions are.
I am experienced with adult males and females as well as couples.

I've cycled through at least a half dozen therapists over 20 years and John is by far my favorite and the best fit for me. He's a person that I can say is making a difference just by his presence and enthusiasm and insight but he brings even more than that to the table. I could have selected all the positive attributes listed.

He is a warm, and kind person. Talking with him is less like therapy, but more like a good conversation. He doesn’t just agree with you, and he poses questions. His questions are not intimidating, they don’t feel like they are intended to corner you, they are just questions for good self reflection. He is a good person, and a great therapist!
