About John
I am licensed in Texas with 30 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. “For over 20 years, I've dedicated myself to helping adults and adolescents achieve their goals and although reaching out for help can be scary, it is also the first step to reclaiming yourself. I collaborate with my clients in helping them address the issues that interfere with their daily function. I believe in each individual's right to happiness and am often humbled that I can be a part of that journey. I have spent much of my career helping those suffering from the disease of addiction as well as those healing from trauma.” My focus is on YOU – the client. We will work together on the issues and topics that are important for your own personal change and growth. I provide mental health counseling for individuals, couples, marriage/couples, families, teenagers, and children (ages 7 to 10). In working with individuals, couples, and families I employ a holistic approach in utilizing coping strategies, relaxation techniques, mindfulness, guided imagery, coping skills development, parenting skills, self-esteem building, and home-work assignments. I work with a wide range of therapy methods: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution based/focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, ACT model, and DBT. I specialize in the following issues: anxiety and stress management, depression, child and adolescent issues, attachment-bonding issues, self-harming behaviors, trauma/PTSD, substance use issues, grief and loss, life transitions (career, life stages and changes), caregiver stress, and military issues (family, reintegration and deployment).
