Does Your Life Feel Off Track? Let’s Get You Back On The Right Path.
You are doing big things in your life. But personally or professionally you are feeling stifled, conflicted, or stuck.
Life can feel like it is running too fast to take the time to slow down, even a little bit, to make corrections. But is the direction your life is aiming where you actually want to be going?
You may have tried therapy before and you didn’t really get much out of it. But working with me is different.
I believe that therapy isn’t about just listening or offering generic advice. It’s about collaboration. It’s about slowing down long enough to examine your life, working out what it is that is making you feel stuck, and being your partner to help you get to where you actually want to go.
What is therapy with me like?
Examine and reflect
Life can be full of conflicting values, aims, and goals. We slow down to examine and reflect where you are currently.
Laugh sometimes
Humor is a really good way to get to the truth. Often what makes something funny is something that’s incongruent.
Enjoy life
You cant just wake up and choose to be happy. But you can learn to infuse happiness into the process of getting there.
Hi, I’m John
People think therapy is about achieving some specific thing and then your done. But I think therapy is about developing a process of thinking that helps you feel happy along the way.
I became a therapist because it seemed like a way to actually help people live a better life.
Therapy with me feels reflective, fun, and meaningful. We will ask questions, we’ll challenge assumptions, and we will probably find a way to laugh about it all.
Most importantly, we’ll take time to focus on you. Together we’ll get you on the path to living a life that you actually enjoy.

Therapy isn’t just about feeling better right now.
There is a term in philosophy called eudaimoia — which people often translate as happiness. But really it means something more like flourishing. Its not just joy, but a life condition that encompasses good feelings.
What you do in the present moment indicates what you do in the future. You have to aspire to love your self right now. If you want to enjoy life later, you have to enjoy life right now. There is no separation.
The process of getting on the right path is part of life and it is part of feeling happier.
