About me

I am a mental wellness counselor licensed in Ohio, Colorado, and Montana, currently residing in Ohio, with 20 years of experience working as a counselor in community-based settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, impulse-control disorders including substance use, and Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. I also have worked with many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Motivational Enhancement and Rational-Emotive Counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

John took time to get to know me, understand my personal well, and then presented me with a treatment model and told me everything I could expect. Would recommend!

Great first experience. Went well over time to hear everything I wanted to say to introduce myself.

Let me cut to the chase! John is a thoughtful listener who has insight and knowledge of real-world tools to manage stress, anxiety, and anger. These are my challenges but he clearly knows more than I’ve requested. As a skeptical man myself, please understand when I say: “Worth every penny!” If you need a change in your life, then talk with John for his kind help. Again, worth every penny.
