Jonathan utilizes DBT, ACT, trauma-focused, person-centered, strength-based, existential, and narrative practices to create genuine connections. He provides clients a nonjudgmental space to explore themselves through mindfulness, media, interactive activities, creativity, and a caring ear to listen, illuminate, and foster empowerment over one’s life. Jonathan believes through collaboration, we learn to recognize problematic dynamics and limiting mindsets that prevent one from becoming more fulfilled.

I applaud you in your quest for personal understanding, growth, and self-preservation! Making a commitment to discovering and recovering our authentic selves is a brave choice, and it would be a privilege to serve as your ally in this journey of discovering what works for you! My therapeutic philosophy is inspired by holistic, humanistic, and existential traditions. I am passionate about healing justice and working within an anti-oppressive therapy framework. I believe that the real expertise resides in the experience and awareness of each individual seeking therapy.

I specialize in women’s mental health and wellness across the lifespan and work with clients on areas such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, work/career identity and balance, stress management, reproductive and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD), parenting issues, bereavement, academic challenges and existential issues.

Therapy is a valuable and enlightening tool that enables us to access, explore, and integrate our truest, most authentic version of ourselves and process big and small life events. My therapeutic space is a judgment-free, safe, and empowering environment where, together, we will work through whatever issues you face. I work with adults experiencing a range of issues from depression to anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, identity development, difficulty with life transitions, addiction, and self-esteem issues.

Therapy is the process of moving closer to yourself, of building and strengthening your role as your own healer. It is a collaborative process rooted in a trusting, supportive relationship that involves play and celebration as much as it involves discomfort and struggle. I work from a trauma informed, sex positive, and LGBTQ+ affirmative perspective to support the development of a sense of safety in sessions. I am in a frequent state of growth in confronting my own internalized racism and dismantling structures of oppression. My approach is informed by Spiritual Psychology, IFS, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.

My clients are typically individuals looking to change their beliefs about themselves and others and build a greater sense of safety, trust and esteem in order to find a deeper sense of purpose, meaning and fulfillment in life.

Sure I "know" about people's struggles, individually & as couples -- and how to overcome these-- as well as different approaches to therapy. I have listened to & helped many folks over 35 years as a NYState Licensed Clinical Psychologist & Certified Adult Psychoanalyst.

Therapy is, above all, a partnership. As your therapist, I create a space where you are heard, validated, and accepted as you are. Many of us have very few places in our lives where we can be our most authentic selves. It is through this level of trust and respect that true transformation and healing can occur. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and empowering. I will help you to see all your inherent strengths that depression, anxiety, or life stressors may be clouding your vision of. Through our therapeutic connection and evidence-based strategies, we can clear the lens and allow you to envision the path forward.

I try to listen and speak in ways that invite you to become curious about who you are and how you see the world. Over time, patterns of experience can reflected upon, talked about, and transformed in ways that lead to psychological growth. Other aspects of who you are may not need to be changed, but rather accepted, which is in itself a kind of change. Psychotherapy is an opportunity to bring all of this complexity into relationship with someone who can help you discover what is true for you.

Have you always dreamt about becoming a mother? Is it what you imagined it to be? You were told that all mothers are happy and perfect. In truth, motherhood is an emotional, complicated and compelling journey from conception, pregnancy, delivery, and into postpartum. No one tells you how hard it can be to actually get pregnant. Others seem to get it so easily, yet you struggle. When you are pregnant, instead of feeling endless joy, you feel sad, scared, angry or anxious. After the baby comes, instead of feeling confident as a new mother, you wonder all the time, what if you aren’t the perfect mother?

I am here to be your compassionate, nonjudgmental, no-nonsense therapist. We can work together to tackle what's bothering you, no matter how serious it feels. Maybe you are at the end of your rope and you don't know how to face the obstacles life has thrown at you. Maybe you want more out of your life and relationships. Maybe you are dealing with troubling experiences but aren't sure if therapy will actually work. For each client, I blend my extensive knowledge of therapy techniques and research, my warmth and compassion, and my occasionally quirky personality to create a safe and useful space for you to heal and grow.

For everyone there are patterns in our relationships with ourselves and with others that often go unnoticed and unexplored. Through a psychodynamic and trauma-informed approach, I work with clients to identify these patterns and to develop insight so they can experience more emotional growth and well-being. Change can be hard and we often use avoidance as an ineffective coping mechanism.

I create a warm and collaborative atmosphere where you can freely explore your lived experiences, anxieties, and hopes for yourself. My approach to therapy involves deep listening. I have trained in psychodynamic therapy, meaning that we will explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors at a profound level to illuminate not only the roots of current suffering, but also help you understand your strengths, passions, and desires more intimately. In our work together, we can better understand your patterns, empowering you to make conscious choices and break free from self-limiting cycles.
