Meet Jonathan

My therapy style is mainly using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Culturally sensitive approaches to provide space for change in the client. I have also trained in trauma-informed care and more interpersonal approaches such as Gestalt and Psychodynamic. I love seeing the change in the client. Once change happens, it is like a whirlwind. That drives me to continue to do this work. I am honest and direct, I like for my clients to feel confident enough to challenge me if necessary. Goal setting is a collaborative approach between me and the client. We determine the goal and how to approach said goal.

I am honest and direct, I like for my clients to feel confident enough to challenge me if necessary.
