Jonathan practices under clinical supervision as required for his current level of licensure.

Beginning therapy does not have to feel formal or intimidating. Jonathan works to create an environment where clients can speak openly about what is happening in their lives without feeling judged.

Early sessions focus on understanding your concerns, experiences, and goals for therapy. From there, Jonathan works collaboratively with you to identify strategies, develop skills, and make progress toward the changes that matter to you.
