Jon earned both his Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from the University of Central Arkansas. Upon being licensed in 2007, he worked with children and their families in the school-based and inpatient hospital settings until, in 2011, Jon followed God’s leading and joined his father in part-time practice at CPC. After only a year’s time, he transitioned to full-time private practice.

Jon has a laid back relational style that allows his clients to explore and plan for the growth they want to experience while valuing the process far and above over the product. He is experienced in helping parents address behavioral and emotional challenges with healthy boundaries and connection, and he loves working with clients to explore their uniqueness to play to their strengths. Jon is a great fit for clients (especially males who hate the idea of counseling) wanting to deeply explore questions of identity, family of origin concerns, the meaning of his/her suffering, his/her core values, and questions of faith and who God is. Couples who want to learn how conflict can be another opportunity for intimacy will appreciate his approach as well, and he especially enjoys helping leaders (e.g., entrepreneurs, executives, pastors, etc.) deal with the unique pressures and loneliness that can come along with such roles.

Jon is married with three children, who he adores and travels the country with whenever possible. He serves in his church through playing drums in the praise band and leading small groups. He also loves outdoor adventures of all sorts (backpacking and canoeing, especially), dark chocolate, and lame dad jokes.
