John has worked for and trained at several known institutions and companies, including the University of Pennsylvania Health Systems, United Health Group, Bristol Myers Squibb, and Catholic Health Care Charity Services. 

Currently, John works in private practice in the outpatient setting, and helps treat a variety of conditions that range from depression, anxiety, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and Schizophrenia, to personality disorders, adjustment disorders, and many other mental health conditions. This includes patients with mental health challenges in the setting of chronic or acute medical challenges. John is also comfortable working with people of all ages including children, teens, adults, and geriatric patients. 

John believes that attaining good mental health means adjusting to life’s changes and challenges in an emotionally healthy way, while problem solving things we can work on to change. John believes that attaining optimal mental health means overcoming barriers to activate our highest self and being emotionally connected with ourselves, which leads to stability. John sees optimal mental health as requiring a balance in our quality of life: work, love, spiritual, and recreation, while also working to accomplish our goals. 

John believes that attaining good mental health is a daily requirement that necessitates establishing a positive routine and a lifestyle that optimizes lasting joy. His treatment approach is to begin with empathy and then to address our most basic questions followed by working up to more complex ones. In partnership with the patient, he discovers solutions to build a superior quality of life, which includes lasting clarity in terms of our emotional and psychological well-being.

John’s educational background includes a Post Masters board certification in Psychiatry from Wilkes University, MSN from LaSalle University, BSN from Drexel University, a BA in Psychology from Rowan University and an MBA in management from Rutgers University. He is currently double board certified in Psychiatry and in Adult-Gerontology Primary Care, which allows him to help support integrated approaches to care.
