I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 9 years of experience working as a Christian counselor.

Jon is empathetic and understanding. He does a very good job of listening to what I am saying and offering different ways to think through the issues. I would recommend Jon to anyone looking for a Christian Counselor.

So far Jon has been great at listening to me, asking thought provoking questions that help me learn about myself and find solutions to problems. He’s been great at encouraging and empowering me, I leave our sessions with clarity, a sense of being uplifted in spirits, and ready for whats ahead rather than anxious.
