About My Clients
Jonathan operates from the belief that there is hope to be found in any situation, and focuses on identifying and fostering this hope. Jonathan is skilled in working alongside individuals, couples and families in navigating the complex nature of interpersonal relationships, as well as the relationships that his clients have with themselves. He gently supports clients in identifying the wounded parts of themselves that lie to them about what they are capable of.
My Background and Approach
Trained primarily in Gottman, PACT, and Solution Focused modalities, Jonathan approaches his work with couples and families from the belief that we all seek safety in our relationships, and when safety is not felt, our central nervous systems respond unconsciously to protect us from this threat to our well-being, which can lead to a cascade of negative interactions, hurt feelings, and decreased communication over time. In order to shift this course of events, Jonathan assists clients in mastering their central nervous systems through self and co-regulation, while also providing his clients with the tools they need to begin intentionally creating safety, stability, and consistency within their relationships. In his work with individuals, Jonathan seeks to build his clients beliefs in themselves, empowering them to address and overcome the many unforeseen hurdles that life throws our way.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Aside from Jonathan’s work with couples, he is also passionate about working with youth and children involved in the justice system, and the foster care system. Jonathan also experiences a depth of joy in working with children with autism spectrum disorder and their families, focused on increasing the quality of connection, and the belief of this connection with parents. Jonathan strives to create a safe environment for all clients, and therefore deeply values the individual process of becoming an ally, and understands that this process will be lifelong. Jonathan is an ally for the LGBTQ community, and values equality in all of his interactions with clients, regardless of their backgrounds, beliefs, or lifestyles. Jonathan has found a depth of meaning in deconstructing his learned concept of masculinity, and is passionate about working with men in the process of becoming a safe male in a cultural dominated by historically and current imbalanced power dynamics.
