  1. English

Jonah is a provisionally licensed mental health counselor in New York. He has worked primarily with people experiencing substance misuse and at the intersection of substance use and mental health. He is passionate about helping people move closer to living the life they want — by aligning their values with their lived experience, deepening the relationships that make them feel most supported, and building habits that make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

He especially values supporting young adults, neurodivergent individuals, and people navigating recovery, identity development, and major life transitions — working with those who feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about who they are and how they want to live.

Therapeutic Approach and Modalities

Jonah's clinical approach emphasizes self-understanding, emotional awareness, and helping patients build lives that feel more aligned with their values and authentic sense of self. He aims to be both compassionate and direct — not the authority figure in the room, but someone who can hold patients accountable more honestly than their friends might. To him, so much of life, and so much of therapy, is about the quality of connections — and he puts everything he has into making sure patients feel as understood, supported, and fully seen as possible.

Unique to his work: Jonah takes an integrative approach that combines shorter-term, solution-focused, evidence-based interventions with deeper exploratory work aimed at fostering lasting insight and long-term change. Depending on each patient's needs and goals, he balances practical strategies for immediate concerns with collaborative work focused on underlying patterns, identity, relationships, and personal meaning.

Personal Note

I identify as neurodivergent and this late-in-life diagnosis has changed my life and helped shape the trajectory of my clinical practice. 

I am interested in a person’s diagnosis only to the degree that it affects a person’s ability to show up in the world, have relationships or experience life the way they want to. 

As a “recovering over-analyzer,” I am someone who has grown an appreciation for both top-down and bottom-up methods of processing, something that I try to implement in my understanding of how to best work with patients.
