I believe that the journey towards happiness and fulfillment can be achieved by raising our awareness/consciousness. So how do we do this? First, understanding that our view of the world is the predominant factor in diagnoses such as depression and anxiety. Most of us do not know that we made decisions about who we are and what we subconsicously believe we deserve. This is often at the basis of what is limiting and blocking us from the life we dream of (or sometimes even blocks the ability to dream).
I provide an integrative approach to help you "remember who you are". It is your Authentic Self that begins to call the shots in your life. You (and your parts, inner children and ego construct) are no longer running old programs that have led you to limit what you can achieve and who you are. This authentic self is the core of your unique talents, personality and wisdom.
You and I will begin the process of understanding your unique dynamics that have set up the story of who you are. Throughout each session, we begin to unravel what the specific pattern is that developed your sense of self and any masks you created to fit in or survive. What I have found is It is often the inner conflict between the authentic self and our “fictional” self that creates the distress.
You might be navigating difficult life transitions and feeling overwhelmed by it. As a therapist deeply committed to your well-being, I understand that seeking help can be daunting. In my practice, you’ll find a heartfelt space where we can explore life's challenges together, from coping with depression and anxiety to healing from trauma or working towards self-acceptance. My passion for therapy stems from my personal and professional experiences and the belief that everyone deserves a chance to heal and grow. By cultivating a compassionate mindset, we can embark on a journey towards not just recovery, but profound self-discovery.

Hi - I'm John, and I'm glad you're here. Maybe you know the heaviness of a loss. The inner critic that won't let up. Or that anxious tightness in your chest that greets you in the morning.
