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.
I have had extensive experience with trauma in individuals from adolescence to late adulthood. I believe that trauma looks and feels different to every person. Two people experiencing the same event will have different outlooks and understandings of it. A traumatic event can take many forms. I want to help you pick up on where your thoughts, feelings and behaviors come from, even if you have never experienced “trauma".
Are you feeling alone and stuck in a transitional period in your life and that your mind is filled with negative thoughts directed towards yourself creating conflict or distance in your relationships with others? You are feeling hopeless and are having low energy, like you are about to give up? While you may not know the tools to help you, you do know what has not been working for you. Together we can build your own toolbox for you to help embrace control in your life!
Since graduating from the University at Albany in 2002, I’ve worked in human services and social work. Returning to graduate school, I discovered my passion for clinical social work. For me, the most fulfilling part is building meaningful connections and supporting others on their journey of healing and self-discovery.
Hello, and welcome. I’m truly glad you’re here and taking this meaningful step toward healing and growth. Life is a journey—while there are moments we can walk alone, there are also times when we benefit from having someone beside us to provide support, perspective, and encouragement. As your culturally competent therapist, I’m here to walk alongside you and help you move toward a more joyful, fulfilling, and empowered life.
