I’ve seen John for the past 4 years and participated in his Men’s Group for over 3 years now. My initial interaction with him was during a crisis in my life. John was great listener, insightful and very experienced in dealing with my tragedy. His calming influence was instrumental in helping me navigate that period in my life. He has walked me to a greater understanding of my Self, empowered me to identify my givens and choices and to know my heart. Today I own my feelings more than ever before. He continues to be a trusted sage in my life.”

Perhaos most importantly he has helped me develop the courage to take action despite my self doubt and sometimes fear.

John’s supervision and expert guidance provided the footing upon which I could construct a firm foundation for my future practice. His “therapist wisdom” assisted me in navigating the various twists and turns of the client-therapist relationship. I am grateful for his guidance during the critical phase of “infant therapist”.”
