Hi, I'm Joanne! Are you tired? Feeling stuck? Looking for a space to process the frustrations of life? I work with people that are navigating change, exploring their identity or purpose, and trying to build sincere relationships. Folks that are interested in breaking familial patterns and doing something different and meaningful with their lives. The world can be soul-crushing sometimes, making us feel shame over certain identities, desires, or behaviors. Understanding who you are and who you want to be releases shame, builds self-confidence, and allows for sustained change.
My goal is to access your natural strengths and develop strategies to better cope in times of high stress. I offer a warm and non-pathologizing space for you to openly address your concerns regarding intimacy, connection, or sexual wellbeing. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and sex-positive and am equipped to support those with sexual difficulties or concerns.
I support all genders, orientations, and relationship styles. Everyone deserves to lead a life filled with pride and joy. Starting therapy takes courage, so when you're ready, we can work towards learning, building, and sharing your authentic self within your community. Therapy works best if its a good fit, so please reach out if you think this could be it!
Take the first step to help. Joanne Gonzales now

I work with folks who may be struggling with their identity due to family, relationship, and/or societal expectations. In the first few sessions, we'll work on building trust while delving deeply into your history, your concerns, and your goals. Most of my clients work on building confidence, challenging unhelpful narratives, and identifying and nurturing positive relationships in their lives.

I use a systemic focus in my clinical work. For the first few sessions, we'll explore what brings you to therapy and how you define progress. With a systemic lens, we'll look at all significant relationships and their impact on how you perceive and react to the world. During our time together, I'll help you challenge those unhelpful reactions and learn how to manage emotions during high stress.
