As a counselor, it is my desire to provide a caring and safe environment where individuals and couples can discuss, explore, and resolve issues of concern in their lives. Areas of concern can be as simple as a feeling of being "stuck", dealing with specific difficulties in life, a desire for more fulfilling relationships, or assistance in navigating a time of change or transition. As a compassionate listener, my practice is based on a Person Centered approach to counseling. I consider each client to have their own unique life story and experiences and tailor my approach to their specific counseling needs, interests, and desires.

Are you stressed, unsure what to do or how to even describe your feelings? Clients who work with me often report reduced anxiety, improved self-esteem, and increased satisfaction in their relationships with themselves and others. I have extensive experience working with those who have experienced sexual and/or relationship harm, those recovering from unhealthy relationships, trauma, grief, and life adjustments. You deserve more than symptom relief. You want to stop bracing and start living: with self-trust, calmer relationships, and peace that actually lasts. This is all possible, through authentic rebuilding.

It may look like you have it together on the outside — but internally feel exhausted, anxious, stuck, or disconnected. Many of the clients I work with are high-functioning and self-aware. They can articulate their values and goals. But when it comes to actually changing patterns, they feel blocked. Some have experienced obvious trauma, where others grew up learning to minimize their needs, stay strong, or take on more than was theirs to carry. Over time, those patterns can turn into anxiety, self-criticism, shame, or difficulty knowing who you are. In therapy, we focus on closing the gap between insight and action…

Hi, I’m John. I’m here to help you feel more like yourself again—less weighed down, more grounded, and more at peace with where you are in life. A lot of us learn ways to cope that made sense at the time but end up getting in the way later. We find ourselves stuck in patterns that don’t reflect who we really are or what we want anymore. Therapy with me is about slowing down, sorting through the mess, and figuring out what actually works for you. I’m direct, honest, and not afraid to ask tough questions—but I also believe therapy should feel like a conversation, not a lecture.

lI have been in private practice for 46 years in Littleton, Colorado. My work is a combination of the Western understanding of personality development including the powerful family influences as we grow up. Also important is the Nature we are born with. My view includes the Eastern understanding that we are imbued with pure aspects of Essence that emerge developmentally and are often buried due to our early experiences of life. The problem solving that we do in the session naturally leads to our deeper issues that when mirrored and supported become permanent changes in relationship to ourselves and others.

Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists
What type of therapy is best for narcissistic personality disorder?
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is best treated with talk therapy, which could involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, schema therapy, gestalt therapy, or similar approaches. A therapist will help a patient uncover the feelings that may drive their behavior and discover how to engage with themselves and those around them with greater empathy and understanding, fewer demands, and less defensiveness, with the goal of developing a more authentic sense of self that enables healthier relationships.

How do therapists treat NPD?
By developing a strong therapeutic relationship, and continually focusing patients on relationships, community, and connection, a therapist, through talk therapy, may be able to help someone with NPD change. In sessions, a therapist will help an individual achieve relief from their current stressors, including the treatment of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression. A therapist may also help an individual to recognize unhealthy coping mechanisms, learn new ways of interacting with others, and eventually become able to feel and display empathy.

Can a narcissist be cured with therapy?
Therapy can be effective. After a serious setback or great loss, someone with NPD may be forced to recognize that they are not immune to life’s challenges. That can spur feelings of melancholy and depression that lead them to seek professional help. Once an individual decides to seek help, they have already taken a step that the majority of those with NPD never will. Still, people with NPD often quit therapy as they naturally resist feeling vulnerable, being challenged, or admitting to flaws.

How can you get narcissistic personality disorder treatment for someone?
It is notoriously difficult to convince someone with NPD to seek help. With their feelings of superiority, they may be unlikely to recognize or acknowledge that they have a problem, or that their problem is narcissism. Sometimes, they are aware that they are arrogant and that others resent them but they don’t see it as a problem because they are convinced of their superiority. People with NPD have trouble maintaining relationships, but family members and others who do feel close to them, and whose presence they value, may be able to encourage them to seek therapy.
