Psychotherapy
Collaborative psychotherapy recognizes that meaningful therapy grows through trust and connection
Oma offers Psychotherapy services in Riverside because we believe that your mental health and physical health are deeply interconnected.
Collaborative therapy is a dialogue-based approach that provides a safe space for you to express yourself freely without fear of judgment. Together, you and your therapist will work to identify and modify negative thoughts and behaviour patterns that may be holding you back. Our therapists support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and emotional overwhelm.
In addition to individual therapy, we also offer couples counselling to support partners in strengthening communication, rebuilding trust, navigating conflict, and fostering deeper connection. Whether you are working through a specific challenge or looking to grow together, our therapists provide a supportive, non-judgmental space to help you move forward as a team.
The changes therapy brings are often gradual. Slowly, you may notice yourself feeling more supported, setting healthier boundaries, and relating to yourself with more compassion.

Gain a better understanding of yourself and your relationships

Jonathan works with adults and couples who feel stuck in painful relational patterns—whether that’s ongoing conflict with a partner, feeling misunderstood by family, or carrying the impact of past relational or trauma wounds.
Jonathan has a particular interest in working with couples navigating communication breakdowns, recurring conflict, and life transitions that strain connection. He supports individuals who want to better understand themselves and their relationships, and who are seeking deeper clarity and change rather than quick fixes.
Jonathan’s approach is holistic, action-oriented, working with thoughts, emotions, and somatic/body experience. Jonathan has supported a diverse range of adults and couples in finding repair, greater self-understanding, and renewed connection. Having lived in Canada and abroad, and worked in health care for over a decade, he brings a broad and integrative perspective to therapy.
If you’re feeling stuck and longing for more ease, flow, and connection—in yourself or in your relationships—you don’t have to navigate this alone.
