After three years of working in community mental health in Cabot, Lonoke and Hazen and two years at the Arkansas School for the Deaf, John attended medical school at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences where he received his MD in 1996. He then completed a residency in Psychiatry with additional training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. His psychiatry career has included working in a wide variety of treatment settings including outpatient clinics, inpatient hospitals, emergency departments, and long-term residential care
John’s training and experience as both a therapist and a psychiatrist allow for the unique combination of being able to provide both psychotherapy and, when indicated, medication treatment. He enjoys working with people of all ages who are facing life’s challenges including depression, anxiety, early trauma, and relationship issues. His approach to treatment is to provide a nonjudgmental and therapeutic space which promotes healing.
He enjoys spending time with family and friends, finding out-of-the-way restaurants that are not well known, reading, and traveling, especially within the state to Eureka Springs or Bentonville. He serves in a volunteer ministry at his church and also enjoys attending Sunday school and Bible study.
