About

A former Music Therapist and a Certified Hypnotherapist, John brings creativity and a breadth experience to the therapeutic session. John specializes in working with personal development, relationship issues, family held businesses, adolescents, and chronic pain.

John says “So many people are stuck in the prison of the mind by negative feelings, past life events, and fear. Proper treatment can free them to have the life they want, the life they were meant to have.”

Due to my level of licensure, it is rare that any letter provided by me other than verification of treatment carries any weight. If as part of treatment you will need some documentation, please check that my licensure (California, USA-Licensed Marriage, Family Therapist) is acceptable to whomever is requesting the documentation. I want to make sure I can meet all your needs.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

For many common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes – online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. This makes it a practical option for people seeking support for everyday mental health and relationship issues.

One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with therapists in the format that best fits their schedule and comfort level – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which helps make therapy easier to integrate into daily life.

All therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and clients retain the option to switch therapists if they seek a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible, effective path to address a range of personal and emotional concerns.
