I'm John, a licensed psychologist practicing in Utah and California. I started out in information technology because I loved computers and making sense of data, but over time I found I enjoyed working with people more than working with machines, so I went back to school and earned my doctorate in clinical psychology (PsyD). Since then I have worked in counseling centers, outpatient clinics, hospitals, and schools, and I have really enjoyed applying the science of psychology to help people understand themselves and navigate the challenges of everyday life. I see teens, young adults, adults, and older adults for concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, relationships, men's mental health, and questions of religion and spirituality.
I'm a licensed psychotherapist and I've been working clinically since 2015. I use David Burns' TEAM-CBT approach (he has several great books you might be familiar with). However, sometimes CBT feels too focused on thoughts. In those cases, I tend to use DBT interventions which include more emotional awareness and regulation.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience providing psychotherapy to adolescents and adults across a range of emotional and behavioral concerns. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is supportive, respectful, and non-judgmental, where clients feel safe to explore their experiences openly. I believe that emotional distress is a natural response to life’s challenges and that, with appropriate support, individuals can develop insight, resilience, and effective coping strategies. I am committed to working collaboratively with clients from diverse backgrounds and identities, including LGBTQIA+ and gender-diverse individuals, and I prioritize creating an affirming and inclusive therapeutic space.
Welcome—I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching 20 years in practice is a milestone I hold with deep gratitude, as it reflects two decades of walking alongside individuals and couples as they navigate life’s transitions, challenges, and growth.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in San Bernardino
Searching for therapists in San Bernardino starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists often list focus areas like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, trauma, life transitions, or work stress. Their profiles may also describe training in approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy. Reading those details can help you compare therapists by specialty, style, and the type of care they offer.
In San Bernardino, your search may include therapists with offices near Downtown, surrounding Inland Empire communities, or nearby areas like Rialto and Fontana. Virtual appointments can also widen your options if commuting, parking, or scheduling makes in-person care harder to fit into your week. As you narrow your list, look at appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. A therapist’s bio can also give you a clearer sense of how they communicate and what a first session may look like.
Therapy in San Bernardino can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket cost. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated session cost before you book. You can browse therapists in San Bernardino, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
