I'm Joanna
Hi there!
Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming. As you search for the right therapist, you’re granting someone access to the inner workings of your heart and mind. I do not take that lightly. In establishing trust, I seek to provide a space that is safe, validating and open-minded with every part of my client’s experiences. Therapy should feel like a relief–a comfort of talking with someone who actually gets it.
Life can be so painful. It’s understandable why we often spend a significant portion of our lives numbing, avoiding, or disregarding.
I’m a therapist who believes that therapy works. Just like you, I’ve navigated challenging, heart-breaking, and traumatic events that led to my own therapy. For me, the counseling experiences that were most powerful were full of patience, reassurance, and understanding.
What if you could begin unlearning the story that you are broken, that something inside of you needed to be fixed? Healing is not about fixing, its about processing your unprocessed wounds from your past.

How therapy can make a difference
The context and weight of our past experiences and current stressors can have a immense effect on our day to day functioning and relationships. My role is to help individuals dig deep into the barriers and experiences that are holding them back from a life filled with a sense of purpose, peace, motivation, or fulfillment.
​
As someone who has spent time as a client, I know how crucial it is to have a safe space and a trusting therapeutic relationship to process and share vulnerability.
This rapport blended with trauma-informed, strengths-based, and evidence-based interventions is the next step in improving quality of life, regaining a sense of self, building healthy habits, and embracing joy.
​
I believe that no one knows you better than you. I also believe that you do not have to carry your burdens alone. Let’s work together to push through barriers and move towards the healing and peace that you deserve.
I meet with clients exclusively online!
