Let's Connect (782) 201-0983

Welcome, my name is Josiane. I approach therapy as a co-creative, trauma-informed process that centres holistic wellness - mind, body, and spirit. My clients include teens and adults who often fall outside conventional norms, including those who are neurodivergent, queer, gender-diverse, polyamorous, and/or living with disabilities. At heart, I support anyone seeking therapy that truly fits their unique way of being.

I draw on many modalities in my practice, such as storytelling, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, guided visualization, breathwork, expressive arts, and somatics. I wish to help my clients explore deep Self, their connections with others, and their relationship with the Earth.

I believe healing is an innate capacity we all carry—one that grows through intentional exploration and practice. If this resonates with you, I invite you to book a free video call to explore whether we’re a good fit. I look forward to connecting with you.
