A note from John
I was born and raised in Southern California by my parents and two older sisters. We were an athletic family, swimming and water polo were our primary sports. I earned my BA in Psychology from UCLA in 2004 and my MS in Counseling Psychology from Cal Lutheran in 2007. I interned under and worked alongside Adult and Child Psychiatrist, Dr. Charles Hollingsworth, MD, in Oxnard, CA from 2007 to 2013. The last ten years I have been employed by a school district to provide mental health services on site at a public high school. My family and I now reside in Chapin, South Carolina where I have my private practice.
