I’m So Glad You’re Here
At some point, life can start to feel more about getting through than actually living.
We adapt, keep moving, and do what’s expected — but inside, something feels distant or out of sync.
Therapy offers a space to slow down and begin to reconnect with what’s real, with yourself, so you can reclaim your capacity to live, relate, and love from the inside out.
Meet Jon
Hi, I’m Jon. Hi, I’m Jon. I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) and an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC). I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy, from Pepperdine University’s Graduate School of Education and Psychology. I completed over 1,000 hours of clinical training at the Free Clinic of Simi Valley, where I worked with a diverse range of clients, including individuals, couples, and children. I now work in private practice in Westlake Village, where I continue to support clients in navigating relationships, personal growth, and emotional well-being.
I was born and raised in Europe. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years in the profit-driven world of technology companies in Silicon Valley and Europe. I saw how the corporate world shapes the human experience by rewarding compliance, control, and performance, at the expense of our inner lives. As we adapt to the this world and become externally successful, we become commodities, increasingly alienated from who we are and deprive ourselves from our biological need to express ourselves in a real way. This leads to our suffering that shows up as anxiety, depression, or physiological symptoms.
These experiences along with my own healing journey led me to become a therapist. My mission is to help people discover parts of themself they lost along the way, and reclaim theri capacity to live, relate, and love from the inside out. As a side effect of this process is the alleviation of pain, symptom reduction, and personal growth.

My Focus
My focus is on helping people who appear to have it together on the outside but feel depressed, anxious, or unfulfilled on the inside.
I specialize in relationship issues, men’s issues, and childhood trauma.
In our work together, we look beneath the surface — at the patterns, emotions, and unspoken stories that shape your relationships and sense of self.
My hope is that over time, therapy becomes a space where you can reconnect with what feels real and alive within you, so your inner life and outer world begin to feel more aligned.
