About John
I am licensed in Alaska with 40 years of professional work experience, both working with individuals and families myself and training and supervising other clinicians. In addition to my Social Work license, I have clinical supervision credentials in the state of Alaska and the national Master Addiction Counselir credential. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, & intimacy related issues. I also have experience working with depression and chronic mental health concerns.. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
