Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Oconomowoc, WI


Hi, I'm Jonathan. I"m glad you're here. Since 2011, I've helped children, teens, and adults work through anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, and the lasting impact of childhood trauma.

I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely understood, not judged. Whether you're carrying wounds from the past, feeling stuck in the present, or simply wanting healthier relationships, therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself and create meaningful change.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and tailor therapy to your unique needs, goals, and experiences. For those who desire it, I can also incorporate Christian principles into our work together.

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


I take a collaborative, client-centered approach grounded in curiosity, compassion, and practical support. My goal is to create a space where you can speak openly, feel understood without judgment, and explore what matters most to you at a pace that feels manageable.

I believe meaningful change comes from combining insight with action. Together, we’ll look at the patterns, experiences, and pressures shaping your life while also building concrete tools you can use between sessions. I tailor my work to each person rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all process, drawing on your strengths, values, culture, and goals.
