I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families treating addiction, self-esteem issues, anger, anxiety, depression, work-related stress, marital/premarital issues. I use an experiential model of therapy that encourages clients to examine their past experiences that have shaped their beliefs about the world. I believe the deepest changes in our life happen when we utilize social support and self-compassion. My ultimate goal is to give each client an opportunity to experience this in session.

I help women with young children who are filled with self-doubt about their abilities as a mom to achieve knowledge and understanding of emotional development in children so that they can feel confidence in themselves as a mother and absolute trust in their ability to nurture a solid, loving bond with their children. Unlike self-help books and podcasts that provide generalized content for every kind of mama, I focus on helping you, as an individual, to identify your specific desires for your parent-child relationship and cultivate unshakeable trust in yourself as a strong and rooted mama.

At times, we may not have been taught how to navigate our emotions, process our thoughts, or ask for help. I've encountered individuals who, despite their strength, felt uneasy about seeking assistance. This is a natural response; you've had to be resilient. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't have the opportunity to process these experiences; you have every right to acknowledge your emotions and should be able to thrive and lead a healthier life. If you allow me, I can offer you a secure and non-judgmental environment to explore these emotions and thoughts, and together, we can strive for more positive perspectives.

We believe in a therapeutic process that revolves around life's changes and the journeys it takes us on. Choosing to change your focus is a powerful way of transforming any situation. Focusing on the positive doesn't mean that we are denying reality or avoiding what isn't working. It simply allows us to work from a grounded place in order to make the most informed decision from a less emotional place of clarity. Within our sessions, the goal is to cultivate a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship where an individual can bring their full self into session without any fear.

You can heal in your goals by developing new skills to become the better person you want to be. By overcoming behavioral issues in whatever lifestyle and situation you find yourself in. In counseling, we can see our vulnerability as human beings where we find ourselves facing irrational ways of thinking that take us to negative feelings and then we act them out. Thus, the process of learning other ventures to life is to face ourselves at times with our own issues and learn to re-think things out. To heal ourselves is to also not only learn to change ourselves but to forgive ourselves along the journey of our lives.

Hello, my name is Jonathan and I thank you for visiting my page. Joining counseling tends to be a little bit scary and anxious-provoking. In addition, your friends or family members might think that you are wasting your time and money. So, I can understand how cultural and even your mind will try to convince you that you don't need counseling. So, when is necessary to participate in counseling? I would say whenever you want to get to know more about yourself, when you are noticing doubts, sadness, anxiety, anger, loneliness, and other factors interfering with your sleep, mood, relationships, and daily performance.
