I have many years of experience helping people work through their relationship struggles, I have a PhD in marriage and family therapy, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. To earn the degrees and the state license required nearly a decade of intensive training, education, and experience. Hence, if you work with me, you can know you are getting a true expert in helping with couple relationship issues. For more information on the exclusive marriage and family therapy license, or about what a marriage and family therapist is, click here.
I am a husband and father, and am an advocate for trying to save relationships. I am often featured as a relationship expert on many local television news and radio stations, and in magazines and online columns. I also love art and create artistic photographs as a hobby (www.jonathanswinton.com).
