Feeling like a ship caught in a storm, with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, or work stress coming at you from all directions? I provide confidential, nonjudgmental counselling to help you cope and do things differently. Life is better with help. Real Tools for Change: When your life is in crisis you need solutions that work right away.
I help couples find each other again: Get the skills you need to make your relationship glow again. Stop having the same argument over and over, resolve conflict peacefully, solve gridlock (stuck problems), rebuild trust, and get your connection back. In relationship counselling I help couples deal with conflict and distance, teaching positive skills to communicate & connect.

Services
I have been helping people for more than 20 years-as a crisis counsellor, as a therapist in a counselling agency, as a counsellor in private practice, and as a clinical supervisor. For several years I ran the Solicitor General's Relationship Violence Program, addressing the roots of anger, addiction, anxiety, and abuse.
Relationships: I specialize in marital therapy (couples counseling), helping couples create the relationship they truly want. I can help you improve communication, understanding, trust, and intimacy; deal with conflict, relationship gridlock (unsolvable issues), escalating arguments, sexual issues, infidelity, & long distance relationships.
What would it be like if you were able to talk about differences without escalating into negativity or silence; if you could respond to stress proactively together; if you could find solutions to issues, big and small; and if your relationship was a source of passion, comfort, and joy? These ideals can become a reality through couples therapy.
Looking to make improvements in your relationship in a big way, sooner rather than later? I can help you and your partner transform your relationship with a specialized weekend of intensive couples counselling. Using a flexible structure of proven skills and tools, I can help you get your relationship onto solid footing again over a 3 day program of intensive therapy: A private retreat just for you and your partner, in a world-class setting.
Counseling is very personal and is usually sought during trying times. Your counselling journey should not be another source of frustration; your experience as a client is essential. This is why treating you with respect and dignity at all times, and creating a welcoming and change-oriented atmosphere is a fundamental part of how I work.

John is an amazing therapist and listener and has helped me face many obstacles I had in my personal and professional life. Not only was he easy to talk to, he had constructive advice to keep me motivated in making hard life decisions. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to do some inner work :)

John is a truly amazing therapist and has helped me in so many ways. I had trouble finding a good therapist on the Island. (Really, how many therapists are just too messed up themselves to help? it's pretty sad if I end up doing the counselling.) Very different experience here; I found a guide for the hard work I need to do.
