I’m a Clinical Professional Counselor Intern, with a Master’s in Marriage and Family Counseling.
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand who you are and the story you want to tell. Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. My desire is that no one will ever feel that way in any session. We’ll have a collaborative experience where I get to help you achieve your goals, provide another perspective and set a vision for the life you want now and for the future. Calling a therapist can be intimidating. I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

I work collaboratively with each individual, couple or family who become my clients with an emphasis on your needs, wants and desires for change.
Connection can be one of the most transforming experiences in your life. Counseling is a process that can offer a therapeutic connection to enable you make transformations in your relationships, find healing from trauma, and find relief from depression and anxiety; just to name a few. I have made that kind of connection with many clients who have begun that transforming experience one step at a time. Once you take that first step, you can begin a ripple of change towards success in many areas of your life.

The techniques used are often simple, ranging from somatic work, kundalini yoga to psychodrama, internal family systems, and bioenergetics.
Do you want results? Are you finding that you keep getting in your own way? That your emotions, trauma, pain, past experiences and anxiety are preventing you from living the life you are meant to live? Or perhaps things are just not clicking no matter how hard you try? The good news is that there is always a way, a technique or perspective that can and will shift you and your life. The catch? You need to be willing to step into the unknown and get uncomfortable.

Seeking therapy can intimidating, but tackling the stress that our home lives brings us alone is a difficult task. I understand that therapy is a unique and occasionally awkward experience so I want to tackle this process with my clients with honesty and humor. If you are struggling with anxiety, negative self image, or a difficult family or relationship and need a space to build confidence and strength then I would be happy to work with you. I love working with clients to help them build a deeper understanding and love for themselves and invite everyone in my office to be their most genuine self.

For many, one of the hardest things to do is ask for help. Now, more than ever, people may need assistance due to the everyday stresses of life. It can be overwhelming balancing family, career and relationships. Or maybe you have had a recent life experience which is causing you to seek help. Sometimes people are simply looking to gain more self-awareness and to grow emotionally. Whatever your reason, you are taking the first step by considering therapy. My goal is to help you in the process of going from where you are to where you want to be, at your pace.

Hello! My name is Joanna and thank you for reading my profile. I provide individual and family therapy to clients of most ages (5 and older). Prior to working as a therapist, I was a special education teacher. Working as a teacher taught me the importance of a trusting relationship. I love working as a therapist and my favorite part is the unique relationship I build with each client. It is through this trusting, judgement-free relationship that clients can feel safe to self-examine. I work side by side with clients to explore the root causes of unhelpful behaviors and identify a better way of relating to oneself and others.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist, which means I have had specialized training to work with family systems and couples, in addition to treating individuals.
My approach to therapy is direct and solution-oriented, with a balancing measure of warm support and compassion. It is a priority that you feel safe and understood here. I will also appropriately and respectfully challenge you at times; you did not come to therapy to keep things the same. I act as a mirror, helping to identify and reflect back to you things that you may be unaware of that are contributing to the problem. With this new insight, we then decide what kind of action may be needed, wanted, and/or possible. Sometimes insight and understanding alone are enough; other cases require more.

Trauma & eating disorders both have a way of making us feel alone, and unable to see a future free from the aftermath of these experiences. We often start to identify ourselves as these problems, but those things are separate. Whoever you are, whatever your journey of life may have been thus far, you can recover. It is important to remember that recovery is not linear, and that no matter where you are starting, you are here, and taking this step to embark on this journey towards healing, and recovery. My hope is to provide an empathetic safe space for you to work towards your goals, and to finding your true authentic self.

Is your relationship in crisis? Are you feeling angry, frustrated and resentful towards your partner? Would you like to feel loved, heard, respected and valued? If the love and connection has gone, let me help you bring it back. We'll replace the negative, ineffective patterns of communication that have caused you to be "stuck", and focus on creating healthy and positive new ways of interacting. If your sexual needs are not being met, are dealing with the trauma of extra marital affairs or escalating problematic sexual behavior, I can help you heal, reconnect and move on.

I want to work with individuals, couples, and families that are experiencing issues surrounding anxiety, depression, family conflict, life changes, trauma, or alcohol use issues.
I believe our everyday lives involve psychology and show us that our minds have extraordinary abilities. I want to know what fills the pages of someone's story and how they got to where they are today. Everybody needs support and comfort, especially at a time where they feel they are at their lowest.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
