John brings with him over seven years of experience working directly in the field of recovery. John has dedicated his career to helping individuals navigate the challenges of addiction and mental health while creating a safe space for self-discovery and growth. John earned his master’s degree in counseling psychology here in Marin County, at Dominican University of California in San Rafael.
