“Kathy has been exceptionally warm, caring and supportive. She provides a safe place to be authentic and real. It’s been so helpful to have her put a name to my issues and the emotions surrounding them. I am grateful to have her as a trusted resource and always look forward to our time together!”
When we face challenges in life, we go to what has worked in the past. We distract ourselves, distance ourselves, or self-medicate with food, relationships, substances and more. At some point, these methods do more harm than good. Let's work together to identify ways of coping and find better options. I will create a comfortable and safe environment free from judgment that encourages self-discovery. I have experience helping people with trauma, relationships, self-esteem, body image, substance use, anxiety, depression, OCD, binge eating disorder, suicidal thoughts and more.
I work to understand your unique experience and together we will build a plan that works for you. You already have what it takes to heal yourself, and I will focus on building up your innate strengths.

I'm an advocate for self-care and believe that healthy self-care is vital. My self-care involves spending time with my family, playing games with my wife, and taking care of our rescue dog Tilly. I also find that cooking for my family is very therapeutic and helps me unwind after a stressful day.
“John provided an empathetic and thoughtful first visit. In addition to clearly outlining his treatment philosophy (which I agreed with) he allowed me time to clearly state and elaborate on the purpose of my visit.”
