He is experienced in helping children and their families address behavioral challenges with healthy boundaries and connection and loves working with clients of any age 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 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 trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to help children process difficult experiences and is a trained parenting coordinator equipped to assist high-conflict coparents cooperate effectively for their child(ren).
