Services

What I treat

Anxiety Disorders

Generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, and the relentless mental noise that makes it hard to be present. We'll work to interrupt the patterns keeping you stuck.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

The cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsions is exhausting — and you already know that temporary relief only makes it worse. Jonathan uses ERP, the gold-standard treatment for OCD, to help clients break that cycle and regain control.

Depression

Depression is more than persistent sadness — it's the withdrawal, the fog, the loss of motivation and meaning that makes everyday functioning feel like a significant effort. Treatment is structured and evidence-based, with a clear path forward.

Life Transitions

Major life changes — career shifts, relocation, relationship changes, loss, or the disorientation of not knowing what comes next — can challenge your sense of identity and direction. These sessions provide structure and clarity during periods of significant change.

Relationship Challenges

Conflict cycles, communication breakdowns, and interpersonal patterns affect everyone — from personal relationships to team dynamics. Drawing on direct experience with professional athletes and high-performers, these sessions address the relational pressures that follow you off the field and out of the office.

Couples Therapy

Building stronger communication and deeper connection — or navigating a meaningful transition together. Sessions are structured, equitable, and focused on your shared goals.

Work-Related Stress & Burnout

Chronic stress, professional exhaustion, and the erosion that comes from giving without replenishing. Practical, sustainable work toward a better baseline.

Career & Professional Identity

For professionals navigating career transitions, identity tied to work performance, leadership pressure, or workplace conflict — treated as the serious clinical concern it is, within the structure of individual therapy.

Approach

How I work

"Clarity and precision — not endless introspection for its own sake."

The work is purposeful and structured. I tailor evidence-based interventions to your specific presenting concerns — drawing on the methods best suited to what is driving distress, not a blanket protocol. Every session has a clear direction, and you will always know what we are working toward and why.

CBT
Cognitive Behavioral TherapyFor anxiety, depression, worry, and distorted thought patterns
ERP
Exposure & Response PreventionFor OCD and intrusive thoughts
PDT
Psychodynamic TherapyFor relational patterns and interpersonal challenges
MBI
Mindfulness-Based InterventionsFor stress regulation and emotional resilience

Professional Development

Clinical Supervision

Jonathan holds the Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) designation in both Louisiana and Texas, qualifying him to provide individual clinical supervision to LPC Associates and provisionally licensed counselors working toward full licensure.

Supervision is conducted via Zoom and structured around the supervisee's clinical caseload, professional development goals, and state licensure requirements. Each engagement is tailored to where the supervisee is in their development — not a one-size-fits-all framework.
