About me

I am a Geriatric Counselor and I have pioneered a talk therapy approach to Dementia Treatment I call the DreamRem Method. It is a method that focuses on conducting a structured life review in order to chronical and celebrate the life of the Dementia patient. Self-esteem often suffers in those that develop Dementia and the Dream Rem Method helps to bolster the self -esteem to the persons suffering with Dementia. The DreamRem Methiod is most effective for those in the beginning to middle stages of Dementia. I work as well with seniors who are dealing with adjustment issues related to the changes around retirement. I deal with the grief from a loss of a spouse or family member. I have worked with a senior population since 1990.

He is easy to talk to, and it feels like he really listens and is empathetic towards me. He provides me with what I need in a therapist at this time in my life.

Jonathan is very compassionate and down to earth. He does a great balance of listening, asking good questions, and giving wise, kind input. He makes you feel very comfortable talking about private matters in a way that’s not invasive or condemning. Highly recommend.

Jonathan is great at what he does. Though I haven't had any recent sessions (from being distracted with other things) I often reflect on what he's said whenever I feel like I need guidance. I am currently doing better than I have in the past 6 years or so thanks to that.

Jon does a great job at being thorough and understanding of issues.
