Now accepting new clients. I seek to provide a haven where clients can feel safe to explore whatever surfaces in their present challenges, transitions and internal experience. Many times thoughts, emotions, behaviors and experiences are understood, and personal truths can surface, particularly because of the safety and trust found in the therapeutic relationship. Ultimately this place of trust and non judgement is the core of healing and where personal growth occurs. While there are many models of treatment this is the essence of what I seek to offer and value most.

Hello, My name is Jonathan. I was introduced to the positive impact a therapeutic relationship can have while serving in the United States Marine Corps. A safe environment to share the ongoing challenges we faced, provided us the ability to overcome the barriers we encountered. Since then, I have dedicated my education and career towards embracing life challenges and providing clinical support to our community for over 10 years.

Anyone suffering from chronic mental health conditions appreciates how difficult even the simplest of life’s activities can be when their symptoms relapse. For some patients, unfortunately, symptoms persist despite conventional medication or therapy. Ketamine, a medication used for anesthesia for the past 50 years, has recently been found to be effective in treating conditions such as major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and bipolar disorder in patients who have not responded to conventional treatments.

We live in a stressful, complex, and contradictory world. And though you do your best to cope with the chaos around you, sometimes it gets overwhelming. The chaos can make you question your decisions - sometimes it can even make you question who and how you are. Why are there so many obstacles to the life and relationships you want? Shouldn’t there be a clearer path? It can be so hard to navigate through the noise. Craving to connect more fully but end up feeling needy and more alone. Wanting to feel safe, but unease grows and bleeds through. Striving to be authentic, but there is so much noise it is hard to hear your true self.

Whether you are dealing with stressful life changes, relationship conflict, cycles of anxiety and depression, or just need someone to help process all of life's complicated emotions, I am here to help. I truly believe everyone can benefit from therapy. When life gets tough, it forces us to look for ways to change and grow and it does not hurt to have some help as we do so. I believe a person grows best when given authenticity and encouraged to be as their authentic selves. Emotional disconnection from oneself can cause difficulty coping which often lead them to unhealthy coping skills in an attempt to relieve pain.
