Hi there, I’m glad you’re here. I’m John - a therapist-in-training and Licensed Associate Counselor with a master’s degree in counseling from Seton Hall University. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, and trauma through an integrated, evidence-based lens.

I combine trauma-informed psychodynamic therapy with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address both the roots and surface of emotional challenges. We’ll work together to create a safe space where you feel supported in exploring painful patterns, while also building mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation skills. Over time, we’ll move into deeper work that brings unconscious material into awareness, helping you understand the "why" behind recurring struggles.

Clients have described our sessions as engaging, insightful, and thoughtfully paced. I’m passionate about helping you become an empowered participant in your healing. Therapy with me is never one-size-fits-all - it’s a partnership that adapts to meet your goals with intention and care.
