Trauma can skew our self-perception and trap us in emotional extremes—either drowning in feelings or detached to the point of numbness.
Together, we’ll navigate the waters of your emotions, teaching you to embrace and process them healthily. I’m here to guide you in exploring the diverse facets of your identity, fostering inner harmony and a renewed sense of self.
I'M JOHN.
As a therapist deeply focused on trauma, shame, and self-esteem, I offer specialized psychotherapy for individuals grappling with the echoes of their past—whether it's anxiety, burnout, challenges in forming healthy relationships, or emotional overwhelm.
My expertise lies in assisting adults who have been living with trauma and shame—be it physical, emotional, or sexual—or those who have experienced childhood emotional neglect.
I'm committed to educating my clients about the neurobiology of trauma while guiding them through mindfulness and somatic techniques to stabilize their nervous systems. Utilizing therapeutic approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), I support each client on their unique path to recovery and self-discovery.
Shame can silently erode your self-worth, leaving you feeling fundamentally flawed or unworthy of acceptance.
This can lead to an internal battle with your emotions—swinging between self-criticism and the desire for perfection. Together, we’ll journey through these challenging emotions, helping you to cultivate a healthier relationship with yourself. I’m here to support you in unraveling the complex layers of your identity, building resilience, and restoring your sense of value and confidence.
