About John

 

As a psychotherapist in Ann Arbor, MI or online throughout Michigan and Missouri, I have supported people to make lasting changes using my advanced training and experience including Religious Trauma, Ecotherapy, EMDR and Trauma-Based Modalities, Transactional Analysis, Redecision Therapy, Personality-Focused Treatment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy,  Moral Injury, Gottman Level One Couple Therapy, and PREP Couple Therapy. 

Whatever support you're looking for, I am willing to walk with you to come to a better place.  

 

I love to walk outdoors, walking outside connects me with something bigger, something beyond me.  ​One time I was walking with some friends through the desert in Palestine - a once in a lifetime experience - and we came across this amazing waterfall that looked liked it was literally coming out of the rocks!  (Pictured above.) Together, we needed that En Gedi watering area! I have found that counseling is like that life-giving water. With the work I have been able to do over the past 40+ years with countless individuals, couples, and groups, I'm confident you can experience refreshing times ahead, like water coming out of desert rocks, even if you have had some desert-like experiences. 

 

In my life I too have needed someone walking beside me to get to life-giving places. Whether it has been moving to various states for work, divorce, family trauma, substance misuse, anxiety, depression, religious trauma and spiritual searching, earning degrees as an older adult with a family, changing careers, or my other journeys, my own mental health therapy has been life-giving.  My journeys have convinced me that love is the foundation of a sense of safety, belonging, and reconnection with ourselves and the world around us, and is at the core of restoring a whole, healthy person.

​

​So, let's walk together to support you mentally, emotionally, relationally, environmentally, and spiritually.

You don't have to walk alone.​
