Where Do You Find Yourself?
In therapy, we start where you are, with what you’re living, and we create a connection that is close, vital, and steady enough to see you through an exploration that can be both painful and freeing.
My work is psychodynamic at its core, integrating cognitive and somatic approaches and EMDR.
Your Sense of Self
You may struggle with self-doubt or fragile self-esteem, or have a vague, even hollow sense of yourself. Perhaps you feel absent — hidden, unknown. We make room for who you are to emerge. Through imagination and creativity, you become more fully alive, and more present with others.
The Effects of Trauma
Traumatic experience can disrupt your life long after the events themselves — emotionally, in your body, and in your relationships. We work at your pace, so that what happened becomes part of your story — something in the past, no longer relived in the present.
Anxiety
Living with fear and anxiety can leave you feeling lost, exhausted, and completely overwhelmed. We work on two levels: steadying your body and mind in the moment, and understanding where the anxiety comes from.
Depression
Depression can make you feel like you’re stuck in a fog, unable to see a way forward.
Later Life Transitions
Big life changes like retirement, loss, or illness can trigger anxiety and doubt, and shake your sense of self at the core.
Relationship Challenges
Struggle is a normal part of relationships, but when it spirals, it comes at the cost of vitality and intimacy.

Daniel Jonathan
Welcome!
It takes courage to move in the direction of your pain in order to make a change. And it’s a wise decision to embrace therapy as the way to do this.
Over a century of psychotherapy, and decades of my own practice, tell me that skilled therapeutic work can make a tremendous difference.
And I believe that healing and aliveness occur not only through self-understanding and emotional honesty, but also through imagination, creativity, and self-discovery.
