    I help clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and feeling stuck. I believe therapy is most effective when you feel safe, supported, and accepted exactly as you are. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you can openly share your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of criticism. Reaching out for therapy is a courageous first step, and I strive to make the process feel comfortable, collaborative, and centered on your unique needs.

    Treatment will utilize a client-centered, integrative approach informed by evidence-based practices. Interventions will primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address maladaptive thought patterns, enhance emotional regulation, and strengthen coping skills. Supportive therapy and psychoeducation will be incorporated to promote insight, emotional validation, and understanding of the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Care will be culturally responsive and collaborative, with ongoing assessment and adjustment of interventions based on the client’s progress and clinical needs.

    I am particularly interested in working with young adults, such as Millennials and Gen Z that face challenges with life transitions, adulting, self-esteem issues, financial issues, anxiety, depression and relational stressors. Change can be difficult and often we may feel stuck in a cycle, our comfort zone, but recognizing the need for change is the first step towards fulfilling your goals. Whether the change is to improve your relationships, career, financial circumstance, self-defeating behaviors or how you cope with life stressors and challenges; having someone to assist you with reaching your goals, coping with barriers along the way, better understanding yourself and how you relate to others and living life to your fullest potential is what therapy can offer. I have over 13 years of experience working in outpatient mental health clinics with a variety of individuals of diverse backgrounds and life experiences. As a Certified Financial Social Worker, I use an interactive behavior model to assist my clients in better understanding their financial behavior, where it stems from and how to improve their self-awareness. My approach is warm, supportive, holistic and catered to the needs of my clients. I look forward to working with you!

    I am passionate about helping clients who experience depression, anxiety and trauma. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed with feelings of sadness, loneliness, disconnection from loved ones, frustration, or a lack of motivation. I help these clients by providing them with a warm, nonjudgmental space to talk about their feelings. My approach to therapy is psychodynamic, meaning that I help clients make connections between what happens in their lives and their innermost beliefs, desires, and wants. I place strong emphasis on having a quality therapeutic relationship based on trust and mutual regard. My main goal is to help clients learn how to accept themselves and to practice self-care. My style is collaborative, patient, and kind. I love to help clients break out of negative emotional cycles and move forward with their lives.

    I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with severe mental illnesses such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, PTSD, anger, identity issues, codependency, mood disorders, and substance use. I believe I have a unique approach to therapy as I utilize compassionate confrontation to streamline recovery. I am hands-on and direct, meaning I may not tell you what you want to hear but what you need to hear. I utilize multiple therapy modalities, but my favorites are Solution-focused and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as I feel these approaches help create an improved quality of life and get you to where you want to be faster. I am trained in two different eye movement trauma therapies; Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and have seen tremendous results with my clients healing and finally moving on from their traumas. When working with me, you can expect to learn great coping skills to be able to manage life's stressors independently. You will discover the strength in vulnerability and the relief you feel from sharing and connecting with others. Together I know we can see great results.

    Hey there, I'm Jon. As a therapist, I pride myself on building warm, supportive relationships with my clients. Trust and acceptance are an essential part of therapy. I listen non-judgmentally, respond thoughtfully, and behave like a real, genuine human being in our sessions. Some therapists try to be blank slates, but I've found the most helpful approach is the most authentic one. I speak with empathy and understanding, and even crack a few jokes here and there. I earned my master's degree in social work in 2014. I've been a therapist for 10 years, working with adults and teens in individual therapy and group therapy settings.
