Hi, I'm Jonathan
I grew up outside of Aspen, Colorado. As soon as we were walking, we were skiing and exploring the wilderness. The outdoors remains the place where I find joy and peace, whether that's racing my gravel bike, back-country skiing in the Elk Mountains, or just sitting by Boulder Creek and taking a deep breath.
I came to being a therapist after long career in journalism, where I worked for NPR stations all across the country. I was able to interview some amazing people along the way who changed my life — Esther Perel, Michael Pollan, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and many others.
As much as I loved those years behind the microphone, I knew something was missing: being of service and connecting deeply with individuals in moments of transitions. I went back to school to study counseling psychology and instantly fell in love with being a therapist.
My work is very psychodynamic — which means we're going to work slowly as a team. I'm not here to write you a script of solutions, but to help facilitate your insights. I'm also drawn to a number of different practices like Internal Family System, in which we'll explore the many different "parts" of your psyche and identity.
I welcome clients of all backgrounds. I'm especially drawn to working with people in moments of loss and grief (broadly defined) — whether that be grieving a person who died, a relationship that ended, or part of your identity you are struggling to let go of.
I hope you'll reach out to see how it to feels connect. Let's explore how you can grow in our work together!

Therapy for Men
Many men come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to talk about what they're experiencing. Some are dealing with anxiety, work stress, relationship difficulties, burnout, anger, or major life transitions. Others simply recognize that something isn't working and want support making a change.
Jonathan provides a collaborative, straightforward approach that helps men better understand themselves, strengthen relationships, improve emotional resilience, and move toward the life they want to create.
