What John-Michael Loves Most
about Being a Therapist…

I love being able to hear people's stories and support them in their pursuit of personal growth. People have so much strength and wisdom to share on so many different levels and at so many different stages of their life. A lot of times people just need reminders of how strong and resilient they are.

A Bit of the Personal

Outside of work, John-Michael enjoys spending time snorkeling at Barton Springs (so many fish and turtles down there!), listening to live music, and sitting on his front porch with his wife and dog.
