About
John
Hi there, I'm John. I've spent a decade and a half working in the mental health crisis space. Please rest assured that nothing you bring up with me will shock me, and I'm here for it. My goal is to be the person in your corner to help you orient, find your footing, reconnect with your own knowing and sense of self, and start making choices that reflect your deepest values. Looking forward to connecting!
I'm a proud father who finds meaning and refreshment in the mountains as often as I can, whether camping, hiking, or snowboarding. I'm Bay Area born and raised, and Californian through and through. I also enjoy playing and sharing music, and find joy in connecting with and building community where I live.
