About

Hello and how are you? My name is John, I am a Licensed Clinical Mental health counselor from the great state of Tennessee. It is my personal mission to do my very best to help you feel at your best, even when situations and life have altered your positive vibe. I  will always make a safe, transparent and emphatic approach to address your concerns to make sure you feel understood and validated about how you feel.  I want you to know that you are not alone on your life journey no matter how far off the beaten path of life you think you maybe. We all have our own paths of life to walk and discover who we are as individuals in a world that is not always kind, fun or well understood. It is my passion to help you get to the other side of your situation that challenges your life and help you find your own individual star that is inside of you.

Education & Licensure
I have a DPM, Doctorate degree in Podiatric Medicine from Kent State University, MA Master of Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University, MHSA, Master In Health Service Administration from Strayer University, BS Biology from Morris College
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I wanted to work with the neurodivergent/autistic community because I want those with an autistic spectrum to explore their abilities with becoming confident, understood and validated for who they are. It is simply a wonderful gift to be able to communicate with anyone that allows you to be confident in who you are.  It is with this interest in communication and understanding that I became a licensed mental health counselor. My personal goal is to enable people who are neurodivergent/autistic to feel supported as they overcome challenges of communication skills and build on the abilities and strengthen their natural ability to develop new skills. As we progress together you will feel your growth and confidence thrive as you strive to be excellent in your life's journey.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

My approach to you will be with use of evidence based and strength based approach that will ensure credible  weekly sessions that will allow you to feel validated and empowered.as you learn new coping skills every week. These session and methods will help you with your communication skills and thoughts. This will help you feel validated about your ability to grow and have confidence in yourself. I will be there at every step to guide through any challenges as you achieve your own personal goals.
