Hey! I’m Joanna, or Jo, for short; pronouns she/they. I value authenticity, mutual respect, and self-agency, working collaboratively with clients. I draw from my lived experiences as a co-parent, Filipino immigrant to Canada, neurodivergent, and in trauma recovery. I am passionate about helping my clients find meaning, live according to their values, and thrive in relationships.
I specialize in working with people with BPD and their loved ones, navigate their relationships. I do this in individual, couples, or family settings. I believe those with BPD (or any diagnosis like OCD) can heal and thrive by applying interpersonal and emotion regulation skills. I also speak Tagalog and offer unique insights into Filipino families.
I offer support by utilizing various modalities such as person-centred therapy, narrative therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, grief counselling, individual and couples therapy, and more. It would be my honour to provide a safe space for your most authentic self. (Please note that your emails will be sent to my assistant Nicole)
