He began his psychotherapy training as a Post-Graduate Fellow in Infant Mental Health and later as a faculty member at the University of Michigan Child Development Project with Selma Fraiberg.

He taught seminars on Play Therapy, Infancy Attachment, and Early Childhood Development. Currently John sees lifespan clients from infancy to aging adults. John works with varying presenting issues such as behavioral and attachment issues in infancy and early childhood; children, teens, and adults on the Autism Spectrum; children and teens with chronic mood disorders; clients of all ages seeking support managing life transitions; counseling for longevity; and academic and clinical supervision.

Additionally, either in conjunction with ongoing psychotherapy or independently, John provides health coaching for mental health, focusing on diet and lifestyle changes that improve mental and emotional functioning and reduce mental and physiological stress.
