He helps people talk through abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, commitment and communication problems, control issues, dissociation, and forgiveness. He also supports people dealing with caregiver stress and reactions after disasters.

His background includes long-term clinical practice across different settings, with particular experience in treating trauma-related problems and intense mood symptoms. John uses skills from CBT and DBT when clients need concrete tools for managing thoughts, emotions, or behaviors.

People who come to him can expect straightforward discussion about goals and next steps. The first sessions typically focus on urgent concerns and practical coping strategies, then move toward deeper patterns and relationship work as needed.
