Additionally, he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and Economics from S.U.N.Y Oswego. AJ is a certified Somatic Experience Professional (SEP), specializing in how the body processes traumatic emotional and physiological experiences.

AJ's theory most often stems from his firm believe that individuals and couples get stuck in their “daily grind” and that they are trying their best each day "just to survive.” He offers therapy and reflection to help those, who want assistance in making their lives more emotionally healthy and consistently sustained.

AJ has skillfully assisted individuals, couples, teens, children, and families dealing with communication issues; emotional, physical, and sexual abuse trauma; sexual and intimacy issues, financial concerns, self-esteem, parenting, conflict resolution, infidelity, anxiety, and anger management.

Skilled in a variety of styles and approaches, AJ most frequently uses Somatic Experience (SE), in addition to Structural therapy, Sensate Focus Sex Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Play Therapy, Solution Focused Positive psychology, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as his most common therapy approaches.

After working 5 years as an Information Technology server and telecom engineer in the private sector; 15 years in the education field as a Information Technology Microsoft Certified Server and Domain Controller Engineer and Administrator (MCSE, MCSA) STEM public school teacher; and living, working, and teaching in Australia, Japan, and Washington, D.C., AJ transitioned to private practice and has been with Couple & Relationship Therapy Practice for over 10 years.
