Meadowbrook CounselingPayson, Utah

Helping others in this capacity is one of my Dharmic callings in this life, and I will strive to see you, hear you, and support you to the best of my ability. I use strengths-based and humanistic modalities to help clients walk through the challenges of life to reemerge more awakened, more resilient, and more connected to themselves. Help me see you, and ultimately, truly SEE yourself! I specialize in trauma treatments like EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness practices to help clients understand their fears, their limiting internalized beliefs about themselves, and their avoidance patterns-we all have them! All mental health issues can be less painful with our own self-acceptance of our worth. Available both in-person (in office) or online. I am currently receiving new clients, and would love to know if I am a good fit for you. There is hope. There is relief in doing the inner work and in being seen. You can change and grow in the safety of a non-judgmental environment. You are more capable than you know, and you know more than you think!

I also understand that seeking therapy is a difficult and sometimes scary decision, and I am eager to meet clients wherever they are in their healing process. I believe that every person is the expert in their own life and the role of therapy is to support and build on someone’s personal strengths while providing a safe place to dive deeper into self-understanding and ultimately achieve healing. My clinical experience has been gained in a wide variety of settings including residential and inpatient treatment centers, in-home settings, as well as schools and outpatient care. These experiences have taught me that no two people are the same, and that mental health care should be specially tailored to support the specific personal challenges someone is facing in any phase of life. Because each therapeutic process is as unique as the person I’m serving, I help my clients through a variety of approaches. I’ve been trained in EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and developmental trauma. I also have a passion and commitment to my own continued learning and training in our ever-evolving field. I’d love to talk with you and answer any questions you might have about what you’re needing and how I can help support you in living a healthier and more fulfilled life.

I am not here to judge you or push my own agenda on you. You as the client are the expert. It is my job to support you in making the changes that are meaningful to you. I am not a fairy godmother that can bibbidi-bobbidi-boo your child into behaving perfectly, make your teen want to talk to you, or make your family understand and appreciate you. However, I can be an empathetic listener and support to help provide context and understanding for thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may feel or seem hard to process. I provide tools, resources, and a therapeutic environment where change for the better is possible. I know that taking the first step to seek counseling can be a scary and overwhelming process. It is my hope that I can help support you through whatever you are going through. If you think we might work well together please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you.

I’ll help you learn to approach your inner experiences with greater compassion and kindness. Life is hard enough without adding self-criticism! Therapy is more than symptom reduction—it’s an opportunity to better understand yourself, recognize patterns, and develop compassion for what you’ve been through. I’ll help you slow down, notice what’s happening, step out of reactionary mode, and learn to respond in ways that align with your values and the life you want to create. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centered Therapy, and EMDR to help clients navigate anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, relationship struggles, and difficult life transitions. I also enjoy working with couples and use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples reconnect and strengthen their relationships.

Jon integrates interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), narrative and strengths-based approaches, and trauma-informed care, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) principles/interventions when appropriate to treatment goals and client readiness.

Through my work in child welfare and medical settings, I’ve supported individuals and families through some of life’s most challenging moments. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and am devoted to personalizing my care to suit their needs. I am passionate about meeting people where they are and providing the tools they need to find happiness and healing. I have helped individuals experiencing trauma, assisted people navigating crises, and connected clients to much-needed resources. I am committed to helping my clients feel safe, empowered, and supported by collaborating with them to recognize and build upon their own strengths throughout the therapeutic process. In my free time I enjoy playing card games with my family, going to concerts, reading, and crafting. But I also love what I do - helping you! Investing in yourself and starting therapy is courageous and worthwhile. I look forward to working with you!

I have worked and interned for the Department of Workforce Services, a youth crisis center, and the public service industry for many years. Throughout those years, I have gained valuable experience and insight into supporting individuals, youth, and families as they navigate difficult circumstances. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where we can lay all the cards out on the table, organize them, and determine the best way forward. I integrate skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused Therapy to help us explore concerns, recognize strengths, and identify practical solutions. From there, we will work together to turn those steps into a more playable and, hopefully, winning hand. My approach is compassionate and grounded in evidence-based practices. I have experience supporting people who have been affected by trauma, anxiety, and depression, as well as working with children, adolescents, and family challenges. I have a strong hope and desire for this work and for building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, active listening, empathy, and respect. Wherever you are on your journey, I am happy to meet you there as you take your next steps forward.
