Even though our culture has developed the attitude that "happiness" should be our default state, life is often hard. We all face difficult transitions, experience scary situations, and often feel at the mercy of forces beyond our control. We easily can have trouble dealing with change as well as emotions like shame, guilt, anxiety, fear, anger, and grief. Faith crises and transitions are especially difficult because religion give us our identity and sense of what it means to be human, our community, our relationship to power and authority, how we can and cannot use our bodies—the very nature of reality.

Joanna believes in the words of Eckhart Tolle, "If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place." We all have stories and backgrounds that shape us and our perspectives on the world.

What an honor it is for Joanna to walk alongside her clients as they nurture and empower this inner strength by identifying and addressing the roots, by gaining acceptance and awareness, and by changing core beliefs and behavior, ultimately leading to a life filled with sustainable serenity, purpose and meaning.

Healing is messy, and it’s also beautiful! You may feel stuck in a cycle that’s painful and no longer serves you, or you have a desire to look further inward.

When challenges go unresolved or unaddressed, they may get in the way of how you feel about yourself. The good news is there are many things you can learn and unlearn about yourself and the world you live in. I will support you through that learning and healing process.
