Testimonials:

"Prior to seeing John, my life was a mess, always heading towards self-destruction. When I started seeing John, I felt like I hit the big jackpot amongst survivors looking for the ideal therapist…He is the only therapist I have managed to maintain a relationship that I trust. And trust is hard to obtain from a PTSD child trauma survivor…I feel like he has sincere and genuine interest in my well being… Since I have been seeing John, I have taken on challenges like having a baby, getting married and moving out of state without relapsing to my old ways of dealing with stress by being self destructive."

"Therapy is difficult. It is difficult to talk with someone you don't know about your most personal thoughts, memories, regrets, fears, losses and trauma. But John makes it easier. John's personal history adds dimension to his extensive training and education in the field of trauma and PTSD. John's egalitarian style and enduring compassion ease the barrier of silence. Together we have traversed the gulf of memory and pain and he remains my stalwart champion and consummate listener. But therapy is more than talk; it is change. With John's gentle guidance, the invitation for change can be embraced and the road to recovery found. John has been my bridge over troubled waters; he has helped me find strength in all my broken places."
