My partner was really hesitant to go into couples therapy they thought that it would be one sided. They felt they would be blamed for everything and suspicions were at an all-time high. It was hard enough to get them to come in and I sat on pins and needles the first time we were on the couch wondering if it would go well but all of those fears and anxiousness went away quite quickly when I watched as Dr. Jon was able to create an atmosphere of peace, tranquility and clarity. In the next several sessions we had we were able to punch through issue after issue after issue in our relationship like there was a baseball bat in our hands smashing problem after problem. I've heard horror stories from other people about therapists or couples counselors they've worked with and I can't say that I've tried anyone else, but Dr. Jon is a master at his craft. He is someone who knows exactly what to say at just about every turn and I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone who is struggling in their relationship

We were a little suspicious of doing telehealth over Zoom for couples therapy but Dr Jon was kind enough to have an initial consultation over Zoom so we could see how comfortable it was for us and that was incredibly helpful. We were able to do it later in the evenings after work and our sessions were always enlightening and allowed us to get through a lot of our issues and then we were able to go straight to bed without having to have that awkward drive home we both secretly dreaded. Dr. Jon is really incredible at what he does and even if you aren't local I would suggest giving a zoom session a try as there are actually a lot of benefits to it that you might not realize in terms of convenience.

A few years ago we had lost a child to a tragic accident and there was a lot of issues that came up in our marriage as a result. Both of us had been to our own individual therapists but the grief kind of stuck with us because of the nature of how shocking it all was and there was a lot of blame and guilt and shame that we had to process through. I was told that finding the right therapist was going to be challenging because marriage therapists who also know how to handle grief in the appropriate way are incredibly hard to find. I feel very fortunate that we stumbled upon Dr. Jon and were able to develop a relationship with him before his caseload was full. The compassion that he has for people while also pushing people to grow just slightly out of their comfort zone so that it's not too scary was the key ingredient of what was missing in other therapists we had tried. Although you never get over losing a child Dr. Jon was able to help us forgive each other and to look at this new chapter of our life as something we can embark on with confidence while still holding on to the cherished memories we have from the past.

What can I honestly say about someone who saved our marriage? Working with Dr. Jon was a best experience. I was able to dig deep down into some of the trauma I was feeling that I couldn't verbalize. It allowed my partner and I to really understand where the blocks and the hurdles were in our relationship and then he went above and beyond in giving us told and exercises to make sure that we had everything we needed to be self-sufficient. It is not easy to find someone who clearly cares about his work as much as Dr. Jon does and I'm honored to call myself a patient and dare I say friend of someone who has such integrity.

My parents' marriage provided an absolutely horrible example for me and created an unnatural fear of commitment that I could not get over. Even though we had two children together I did not see myself getting married because somehow the label of marriage was a paralyzing word and concept I could not wrap my head around. Within just a few months of working with Jon I was able to do a hard rest to my brain and understand that i could define marriage in a way that was meaningful and significant to me and cut ties with any concept of what it was from the trauma I had in my childhood. I am honored to say that i'm now married very happily and love being part of a family in away that was always missing for me growing up and I owe a large debt of gratitude to our therapist, Dr. Jon for being able to say that.
