Relationship-Focused

Jonathan is a relationship expert. He received training in Attachment Theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy, both highly respected and effective therapy forms.

With this specialization, Jonathan compassionately and effectively provides counseling for people in their most meaningful relationships (marriage and family) to resolve conflict, improve communication, and connect more meaningfully.

From couples where the relationship seems dead to those experiencing high conflict, Jonathan helps you understand how you have gotten stuck in unhealthy/unproductive patterns. He works with you step-by-step to help you break free of these patterns and learn how to forgive, repair, connect, and move forward.

Jonathan views counseling as a sacred trust and sincerely desires success for all those with whom he works.

Trauma Specialist

Experienced working with complex traumas, Jonathan is adept and motivated to help his clients understand and find healing to live life more fully.

Whether it be the more apparent traumas associated with war/other forms of violence or the less noticeable kinds of trauma stemming from your childhood, Jonathan can help you through them. He has training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), one of the most effective modalities used to treat trauma.

Military Service /Expertise

Along with his wife, he has taught dozens of Strong Bonds marriage retreats to help better those who so valiantly serve our country to strengthen their marriages.

He is ready and able to counsel individuals, couples, and families who experience this military/first-responder lifestyle and those with similar challenges, including extended separation, reintegration struggles, resilience, etc.

Personal Life

Jonathan is an instant friend to everyone and wears his classic “permagrin” on his face. Some people ask if he ever frowns!

As the proud daddy of five cute little blondes, he has been married to his college sweetheart since 2006. He loves to run with their boxer/lab mix pup Penny, lift weights, and go target shooting. One of his greatest joys is playing the piano, as well as his cello, guitar, and any other instruments he gets his hands on.

Jonathan loves to laugh and be outdoors hiking and camping with his family. He also enjoys traveling, and an item on his bucket list is to go to Disney World, finally!
