Hi! I am Jonathan. I am a husband, father, and therapist who specializes in supporting people navigating various life challenges including life transitions, parenting, spousal challenges, fatherhood, sexuality, intimacy, and challenging toxic masculinity. I work with individuals and couples. I believe that a safe space is a brave space. I do my best in crafting safety, which allows for self-exploration and healing at your pace.

Hello! Welcome to my Psychology Today profile. I hope you find the answers you need in your search for a counselor. Here is some information on my experience in counseling: I have experience in individual, couples, and family counseling and have enjoyed each of these types of counseling for different reasons. I have seen a wide array of mental health and relational issues as I have practiced over the years and have experience working with parental-child conflict, martial conflict, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, and stress. I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients to help them achieve the change they want and need.

Are you a dedicated professional or executive hoping to learn how to manage anxiety, rebuild relationships, or heal from trauma? Figuring out how to manage life right now is overwhelming. You might feel like you're struggling more than others to out how to balance your day-to-day life. As far as others know, you appear to be doing just fine, but inside you may have constant feelings of regret, fear, or shame. I've been there, and can help you find your path forward. I work with corporate professionals who want to build an awesome life for themselves, but find that they're a little stuck! We can figure this out together.

Hello, the work that I do with individuals, couples and families is based in a mindfulness and cognitive behavior therapy approach. I work with clients to integrate mindfulness skills and cognitive behavior strategies into their daily lives. These strategies help to access a more centered and deliberate way of being. The skills and strategies used are tailored for each individual based on concerns, goals and interests. This approach is great for those who experience anxiety, high levels of stress, trauma, depression, or have anger related concerns.

Does something need to shift to make way for the next opportunity or thought? Maybe you've found yourself questioning dynamics in your current relationship, or wondering about the next work opportunity. Or maybe you've been thinking about past traumas that are now affecting daily life. If you're on the verge of something, and thinking about taking that leap, let's leap together. If you're dreaming of the next thing, let's process that. If you're self aware, and wanting to dive deeper, let's see if we can find the way. Together.

My ideal client wants something better, has no idea what "better" is or looks like, and has no idea where to start. They are still determining if they are ready to start or commit to that change. What they need is a person and a space to figure it out. Deep down, they know where they are right now can be better, whether in relationships, emotions, daily habits, major life goals, or anything in-between. But, most importantly, they want a space where they can process and grow from that place and build a sustainable life.

At times, people just want to have a conversation and we put off going to counseling, because honestly we tell ourselves that this other thing is just a little bit more important, a bit more pressing. We forget to invest in ourselves. Life is tough, there is no doubt about that; but why go through it alone. Let me be that person for you to aid you through those tough times or I can simply be that someone that you talk with.

I am passionate about working with individuals and families to overcome the challenges that lead them to seek therapy. Additionally, I hope to help individuals that are navigating the transition into parenthood.

I believe that warmth, understanding and compassion are the key to any successful and supportive therapeutic relationship and these qualities are the foundation of my practice. I have been providing counseling services to individuals, couples and families for a number of years in a variety of settings and one thing has always been the same; I learn something new from each and every client and the relationship that is built through the course of treatment is where the healing is created. I tailor my approach based on the needs of my clients and collaborate with them to identify their goals.

Adolescence and young adulthood are both exciting times, but also incredibly vulnerable. Marked by increased independence, young people and families may struggle to establish new boundaries, as new precedents are set. As a therapist working with this population, I aim to create a safe and affirming environment for my clients to explore their growth and healing. I value incorporating family as much as possible, when that is feasible and appropriate to do so. My areas of focus are LGBTQ+ issues, identity formation, post-traumatic growth, anxiety, depression, and conflict management.

With 20 years experience of empowering individuals, couples and families, I aim to inspire those I counsel. I am passionate about people and the restoration, maintenance and progression of their relationships. I help people adjust to life changes including: academic, family or work related stress; education, employment or military relocation; and loss. I specialize in “before the ring” counseling, financial matters, interracial coupling, pregnancy care, and racial identity of Biracials. For those seeking Christian counseling, I am a Jesus follower and I am willing to incorporate faith into therapy upon request.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

I believe that relationships deeply shape our experiences and how we cope with difficult times. Even when working with individuals, therapy sessions are often focused around gaining a better understanding of how one's relationships are working positively to support them or to define areas where changes are needed. As a therapist, I am honored to collaborate with clients in creating their own goals and to witness the healing process. I specialize in working with teens, young adults and families to address issues such as depression, anxiety, family stress, self-esteem, parent-child conflict and coping with major life transitions.

I believe in making therapy feel safe, warm, and judgement free. My goal is to support, guide, and empower my clients to trust themselves and their decision making while challenging negative self-talk, self-worth, anxieties, and barriers to change.

I am accepting clients ranging from fourteen years of age and older. I work with individuals, families, and couples. Although I have experience treating an eclectic range of concerns, ideally, my clients may be facing symptoms of anxiety, depression, substance misuse, and PTSD. I have great expertise in treating dually-diagnosed clients, substance misuse, and mental health. The stress and hardships that come with these issues are often too much to handle on your own; please let me help.
