What should a new client know about working with you?
You should know that working with me is about action, progress, and real change. I take a direct, no-nonsense approach, helping clients move past obstacles efficiently rather than dwelling on them. If you’re looking for a therapist or coach who will simply listen without offering solutions, I may not be the right fit. But if you’re ready to challenge yourself, break unhelpful patterns, and implement practical strategies, you’ll benefit from our work together.
Sessions are structured, goal-oriented, and tailored to your unique needs. I’ll push you to think differently, hold you accountable, and equip you with tools that you can apply immediately to see results. Whether we’re working on relationships, career issues, anxiety, or personal development, my focus is always on helping you make measurable progress.
I work with high achievers, professionals, business leaders, and individuals who want to improve their lives in meaningful ways. If you're ready to take action, I’m here to guide you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
A typical session with me is direct, solution-focused, and tailored to your specific needs. I take an active, results-oriented approach, meaning we won’t just talk about your challenges or your past—we’ll work on practical strategies to help you move forward.
During our first session, we’ll discuss what brings you to therapy or coaching, explore your goals, and identify any patterns or obstacles that may be holding you back. I’ll ask targeted questions to get to the core of the issue and help you gain insight. From there, we’ll develop a concrete action plan, whether it’s improving relationships, managing stress, overcoming anxiety, or advancing your career.
In follow-up sessions, we’ll assess progress, refine strategies, and introduce new tools to help you stay on track. My approach is structured yet flexible, ensuring that each session is productive and meaningful. I challenge my clients to step outside their comfort zones while providing support and accountability.
If you’re looking for someone who will listen and give you actionable feedback to create real change, our work together will be a good fit.

My husband and I had our first session with Jonathan and thoroughly enjoyed it. He was kind, attentive and a great listener. He also gave us space to express ourselves openly and helped guide us through understanding each other’s perspectives on certain issues. He gave great advice that we have used everyday since. We are excited to continue this therapeutic process with him as our guide.

Jonathan was a poor listener and not very sympathetic when I was describing my symptoms and concerns. I did not feel heard nor did I feel like he was making an effort to make me feel comfortable or understood. Left the appointment feeling far worse.

Jonathan will change your life. Unlike most other psychotherapists, Jonathan will treat you personally and accommodate his schedule and approach specifically for you! You become more than patient-therapist. You become totally invested in the success and well-being of each other's lives. I've never met a therapist who goes out of his way to develop a deep relationship. He will answer you on weekends and holidays. Totally cutting edge and novel approach. If you want to cut through all the red tape and start taking ownership of your life, reach out to Jonathan! It's like signing up for a new best friend.
