I don't believe you made it here by mistake. By starting the search for a therapist, you're already one step closer to that path of growth and well-being that you've been searching for. As a person-centered therapist, my goal is to listen to you, to teach skills, and to walk with you in this stage of your journey. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the challenges in your life today.
By applying therapy techniques from CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy), and a variety of other proven methodologies, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

In therapy, the vehicle for change is found in the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client. It's important for you to feel comfortable and to develop trust in me. Establishing that rapport will be my goal from our first session.
I use an eclectic approach to therapy; more specifically, I combine insights from cognitive-behavioral theory, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy), strengths-based and person-centered approaches, and elements of motivational interviewing.I continue to explore the latest research and techniques in the field of mental health.

I specialize in working with tweens/teens and young adults facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and bullying. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my clients' individual needs to help attain the personal growth they're striving for.
It's safe to say that if you're reading this, you've experienced some form of anxiety (worry, fear, dread) in your lifetime. Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is one of the most common anxiety disorders and occurs when excessive worry persists daily for at least 6 months. This overwhelming worry is out of proportion with the stressors that the person is facing.
Everyone encounters stress during their lives at one point-never-ending bills, demanding schedules, work, and family responsibilities-and that can make stress seem inescapable and uncontrollable. Stress management skills are designed to help a person take control of their lifestyle, thoughts, and emotions and teach them healthy ways to cope with their problems.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from different treatment approaches. EMDR uses a technique called "bilateral stimulation" to repeatedly activate opposite sides of the brain.

As Johnzelle’s previous supervisor, I highly recommend him as a therapist! He is very professional and clinical. He has the ability to establish a great rapport with his clients and he practices in an ethical manner. He has an extensive knowledge base and has a variety of clinical experiences under his belt. I am proud to say that I was his supervisor and I wish him well in his new practice!
