Untreated mental illness can unravel one’s life causing stress, loss of hope, loss of relationships, loss of employment, and sadly the loss of one's life. With over 15 years of practice, I bring into psychiatry the concept of “presence” with each patient encounter. I also believe in the concepts of partnership, empowerment by providing personalized and comprehensive services in an atmosphere of respect and compassion. Each patient encounter is unique, and the journey is different for each person.
I work with patients in managing symptoms related but not limited to Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Bipolar Disease, Depression, OCD, PTSD, sleep and eating disorders, dissociation, emotional dysregulation as well as substance abuse and addiction.

“Admittedly, I am unfamiliar with the platform. As it relates to Dr. Johnny, he is kind and genuine. He tells you things you may not want to hear, but he does so in a way which allows you to hear them, which is extremely unique. In my experience with Dr. Johnny, I have felt extremely safe, I have felt seen, and heard, I have felt understood, and I have felt guided. In my journey, what has given me the most hope for life giving purpose, is my time with Dr. Johnny.”
My clinical focus is to support you in exploring current concerns, developing insight and strategies to manage/problem-solve and to navigate whatever life throws at you. My training and experience encourage seeing ourselves in the context of our social environments: family, school, jobs, culture. Therapy is a collaborative process, building on the strengths you already have and moving to finding joy in the present moment. I utilize a client centered approach and develop an individualized plan, drawing on family systems, DBT/cognitive approaches, and insight orientated therapy. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and families.
