Hello, I was born and raised in Stockton, California. I enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps at the age of 17 and in 1997, after 25 yeas of service, I retired from the Marine Corps as a Master Sergeant. After retiring from the Marine Corps, I worked as a Farrier (Horseshoer), as well as a structural welder (Ironworker), as those were the most marketable skill that I had. I came to a point where old injuries came back to haunt me and I could no longer walk (several years later, thanks to a surgery through the VA, I can walk again; thankful for that).

I work with clients from a variety of different problems, challenges and life circumstances. The majority of my professional experience has been in working with pre-teens/teens who struggle with suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, self-esteem/image, social emotional and other related behavioral concerns. As well as kids who have an individualized education plan and need extra social emotional skill support. I also have extensive knowledge and experience in working within the veteran/ military community and the unique needs of this special population that I have navigated myself as a veteran.

Hello I'm John David (JD) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with 7+ years of professional work experience. Prior I served in the military for 8+ years, yet once I left I felt lost and needed help. I became a therapist because the counseling I received helped guide my efforts into the positive changes I desired. My strong belief is that everyone deserves such an opportunity and despite where you may find yourself at this moment, by reaching out you've taken a heroic step forward. As J.R.R. Tolkein states, “Darkness must pass; a new day will come, and when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer.”

I am passionate about healing with a unique expertise in military and first responder trauma. I have professionally worked with complex trauma survivors since 2010 and have a profound knowledge and respect for the specific issues that arise in the course of this line of work. I can guide you in understanding your story in a safe and compassionate space, leading you on a path of personal healing and recovery.
