Customer's reviews
I have worked with Jon for many years, and I can confidently say he strikes the perfect balance between giving you space and gently nudging you toward a solution.
He is incredibly flexible and meets you where you are, taking the time to get to know you and understand your needs. He doesn't take a one-size-fits-all approach.
He checks in regularly on your areas of concern, the solutions you've come up with together, and how well they're working. I still return to the techniques he taught me for prioritizing and focusing different areas of my life.
I would recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist who both respects and gently challenges you.

I can’t say enough good things about Jon. He has been incredibly supportive and insightful while helping me navigate long-standing extended family dysfunction. I feel extremely comfortable speaking to Jon. He creates a supportive, non-judgmental space to talk through complicated family dynamics, and helped me better understand patterns that have been impacting me for years.
What I appreciate most is his ability to listen deeply while also offering practical tools and strategies I can actually apply—especially around setting boundaries, managing guilt, and staying grounded during stressful family situations. I always leave sessions feeling clearer, calmer, and more confident in how to handle things moving forward.

I have been seeing Jon for counseling sessions for about 6 years now, and highly recommend him!
When we began our sessions I was completely burned out, swamped in anxiety attacks and drinking too much.
Working with Jon has been a great influence: providing accountability, insight and practical techniques that helped me better navigate day to day life and make some changes.
I'm happy to report that I am much healthier, have better life balance and haven't drank in 8 months.
There's no silver bullet, "curing" a person or "solving" mental health-- but working with Jon has definitely had a significant and positive effect on my life.
