You may be struggling with a lot right now, and I want to welcome you to reach out to me anytime. In our lives, we have to deal with so many difficulties. Even when things seem like they are going well, there can exist inner conflict and a lingering sense that something might be wrong. Things are moving fast, and you may feel like your attention span has shrunk. You may be zoning out or just feeling like something terrible could happen. You may be having trouble sleeping, managing impulses, making decisions, or maintaining motivation. You may be struggling with people or challenging situations in your life.

John's ideal client is likely from the LGB and Trans/Non-binary communities, struggling with mood disorders, anxiety, and trauma amidst navigating a heteronormative society. They seek emotional regulation and coping mechanisms, needing a safe space to explore and challenge ingrained beliefs. Their goal is stability, improved mental health, and empowerment within their identity.

Every human has a unique and sacred story, and to tell that story with your whole heart is one of the most critical and beautiful components of growth and wellness. To have the bravery to tell it requires, at the very least, a feeling of psychological safety. My primary goal – in alliance with you – is to create an environment of safety in which trust can grow. And through that trust to experience the freedom to nurture your authentic self. I want to communicate hope, value, and change to my clients who are in the midst of an experience of suffering, and will walk alongside of you in your journey towards your goals.

As we navigate our lives, we develop beliefs about ourself through our experiences. These beliefs have powerful effects on our sense of belonging, our attempts to receive love and affection, and our desires for intimacy. Feeling accepted and valued can result in a sense of self that approaches life with trust, confidence and flexibility. When difficult events arise, or we feel rejected and mistreated, the way we view ourself and our efficacy can be impacted. While we cannot change the experiences of our life, we can rewrite the meaning we assign to those experiences and free ourself from the associated distress.
