  • My Training

    I have trained extensively with Drs. John and Julie Gottman, known worldwide for their groundbreaking research into what works in couples therapy. Based in Louisville, KY, I am one of only 25 Gottman Institute Advanced Clinical Trainers worldwide.

  • Using the World-Famous Gottman Method

    The Gottman Method focuses on what makes relationships last happily and creates a safe place for partners to learn to interact more lovingly during sessions. Jonathan serves as your facilitator, equipping you with research-based ways of not only expressing your feelings and needs, but responding to your partner’s feelings and needs.

  • “We Are Together vs. Our Challenges”

    From the Gottman Institute’s deep observational research, you can learn and/or reclaim your sense of friendship with each other. Rekindle feeling liked, admired, and cherished, even when navigating conflict. Jonathan will help you understand and maximize your relationship’s strengths and lovingly navigate its vulnerabilities and challenges with a sense of togetherness.

“Jonathan is a great presenter and a fine therapist…Julie and I use his services regularly for our retreats and he’s great. A really nice man. Very sensitive and a great presenter.“
