Hope calls to those ready to embark on the journey.

I’m Jonathan and I am a Gestalt Psychotherapist. Personally I’ve always found it important to approach problems with curiousity and an open mind, cultivate different points of view, and do my utmost to empathize with those around me. It's with these philosophies that I practice therapy while making a safe space for clients to explore and better understand themselves.

I studied Psychology and Sociology at Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan University) with the intention of becoming a therapist although I chose not to pursue it at the time. Feeling I was too young to be a reliable support for what I considered such an important role, I instead pursued various other opportunities like sales and management roles, trying to find myself but never truly satisfied. I was brought back to the field of therapy after being diagnosed with cancer and finding myself in the battle for my life. After successfully recovering and gaining significant life experience and a new perspective on life in the process, I attended the Gestalt Institute of Toronto’s immersive five year training program and now absolutely love the work I do.

Outside of my work I have a passion for fitness and try to keep a healthy body as well as a healthy mind. I’ve also been a lifelong car enthusiast and have been working at becoming a hobbyist mechanic in my spare time. And while I think you should definitely consider me as your therapist, I would definitely advise against having me work on your car.
