Areas of focus

Where Jonathan helps most

Pornography Addiction Recovery

Compassionate, shame-reducing support for breaking compulsive patterns.

Trauma Hypnotherapy

Trauma-informed work that gently addresses core wounds and inner conflict.

Faith-Based Emotional Healing

Healing aligned with your own faith and values — honoring your spiritual path.

His approach

Precision and compassion, together

For nearly 30 years, Jonathan has studied and applied the Enneagram of Personality to help clients understand the deeper emotional patterns driving their behavior. He now integrates it with Internal Family Systems (IFS) — a powerful, evidence-based approach that works with the emotional "parts" within.

Together, these systems have been transformative for clients dealing with trauma, addiction, and inner conflict — allowing him to uncover core wounds, dismantle false beliefs, and guide individuals toward lasting healing with both precision and compassion.

His 2020 CHTS training included proprietary systems such as the Emotional Skills & Tools of Positive Mind Management and the Protocols of Adversarial Resistance, both now core elements of his clinical work.

A spiritually grounded practice

Today Jonathan runs his private practice, Leading Edge Hypnotherapy, specializing in trauma hypnotherapy, pornography addiction recovery, and emotional healing. His spiritually grounded approach helps clients align their healing journey with their personal faith and values — honoring whatever spiritual path brings peace and purpose.

He is currently developing several book projects that combine clinical insight with spiritual and emotional transformation. Lifelong learning isn't just a value — it's a practice that ensures each client receives the most effective, up-to-date care possible.

"From survival to healing — and from hurt to wholeness."

What a first conversation looks like

We listen

You share as much or as little as you like. No judgment, just understanding.

We clarify

Together we name what you'd like support with and whether this approach fits.

We suggest a step

If it makes sense, we outline a gentle next step. If not, we point you toward better-fitting help.

At launch, we offer a free 30-minute intake conversation first. Longer hypnotherapy sessions are arranged only after this step, when appropriate. Hypnotherapy is a supportive tool that may help and complements — but does not replace — appropriate medical or clinical care.
