About
Hi, I’m Jonathan.
I’m a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist based in Hamilton. I work with people who want to strengthen connection, repair patterns, or navigate change more thoughtfully. Reaching out isn’t easy. It takes strength to face what’s been creating tension, and I try to offer a space where that begins to feel possible.
Together we’ll look at what’s been holding you back and build practical ways to rebuild trust, improve communication, manage stress, and move forward with more confidence and intention. I believe change happens when we’re honest about what’s hard and open to what’s possible.
Master of Social Work · Registered Social Worker (RSW) · Member, Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers
What I offer
How we can work together
Sessions are available in person in Hamilton and online anywhere in Ontario, whichever fits your life better.
Individual counselling
One-on-one support for anxiety, burnout, grief, life transitions, ADHD, and the patterns that keep getting in the way. We work at your pace toward changes that actually hold.

Couples counselling
A place for partners to slow down, understand what keeps happening between you, and rebuild trust and communication. Grounded in proven approaches like the Gottman Method.

Sex therapy
A calm, non-judgmental place to talk about the sexual side of your life or your relationship: desire differences, intimacy that has faded, or worries you have never said out loud. It is often the hardest thing to raise, and one of the most relieving to finally talk through.

Premarital and relationship check-ins
A short, structured set of three to six sessions to open up the conversations couples tend to avoid, like sex, money, family, and expectations. You do not need a problem to come. Sometimes the best time to talk is when things are already good.

How I work
Honest conversation, a little structure, steady work over time.
I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including the Gottman Method, ACT, and emotionally focused and solution-focused work, and I choose what best supports your goals rather than forcing a single method. Mostly it comes down to being clear about what’s hard, and building something better from there.
