I begin from a place of unconditional positive regard and I want my office to be a place where you can share anything without judgment. This goes for anything and everything, whether it is taboo, dark or otherwise unmentionable in so called ‘pleasant company.’ Mr. Rogers was wise as ever when he said, “Anything that is human is mentionable and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable.” It's my job to make anything feel ‘mentionable’ in my office.
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".
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience providing counseling to individuals, couples, and families in New York State. I have a unique background in the medical field, home education, nutrition, and addictions through my work in hospitals, nursing homes, hospice, home-based care, education, addiction treatment programs, medical offices, and private practice. I am a dedicated professional and proud alumna of the University at Albany.
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.
With a decade of experience working in various settings, including community mental health, schools, home-based programs, and private practice, I have a diverse skill set and am confident in effectively treating multiple conditions. I've obtained my MSW at the University at Albany and BSW at Roberts Wesleyan College. I've completed extensive training in cognitive behavioral therapy, sensorimotor therapy to treat trauma, and restoration therapy as it relates to blended family dynamics.
I help clients with anxiety, depression, ADHD, women's issues, stress, relationship and perinatal mental health.
A big reason why I became a therapist is reflected in the quote: "Your vocation is where your deep gladness meets the world's deep need" (Frederick Buechner). I find tremendous joy in helping clients move toward healthier and more meaningful lives.
