Hello, I'm Jonathan, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), experienced in working with individuals grappling with anxiety, self-esteem, and depression. Over the years, I've developed a deep passion for helping people navigate through challenges and build lives of contentment and meaning.

My orientation to therapy is solution-focused—utilizing a positive approach to empower you to find practical answers to the problems we all face in life. My work is guided by the motto: "Change is constant and it is achievable." I believe in the innate strength within each person and the opportunity for growth that comes with each challenge. I accept the following insurances: Aetna, Cigna, Optum, UnitedHealthcare, Oscar, Oxford, UMR; contact me at 281.617.9487

The mainstay of my practice involves cultivating a healing environment where empathy, trust, and mutual respect are paramount. I understand that each person’s experiences are unique, hence, I tailor therapy to suit your personal needs. I value an interactive, collaborative approach to therapy, where I can both listen and provide feedback. I am committed to helping you develop the tools, coping strategies, and self-understanding that will aid you in overcoming the hurdles you are facing and move forward.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, giving them the tools to manage symptoms, and find peace amidst the turmoil. In addition, I have extensive experience working with self-esteem issues, helping individuals to recognize their worth and build confidence. A significant part of my work is also devoted to helping those struggling with depression to find hope again and rediscover joy.

While it can be a daunting task to seek help and confront your struggles, remember that there is no brave without fear.

Together, we can illuminate your path of self-growth and healing. Taking the first step is the beginning of change. I look forward to providing you with a safe and supportive space where you can begin your journey to a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
