Often times we seek therapy because of struggles in relationships, adjusting to a new phase in life, uncertainty about the future, family stress, anxiety, & depression. You don't need to wait until you are in crisis to get help. Learning the balance between self-care & community care is a practice. Together we can explore different tools that can support you to work through emotions & patterns that may have happened in the past, but are playing a part in your desire to grow now. We don't choose what happens to us, but it is part of our journey to work through them. Our work together is to increase your choices and awareness.
Joana is a first-generation Portuguese American who works with diverse adults and couples. She is warm and nonjudgmental. Her therapeutic work incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (mindfulness, distress tolerance), Expressive Art Techniques, Gottman Couples Therapy, & Narrative Therapy. Also offering walk-and-talk therapy!
It is a privilege for me to be able to work alongside you toward your goals. There are many seasons throughout our lives and each one calls for different tasks and tools that we can explore together.
