I am currently accepting new telehealth clients in Colorado and North Carolina. As your therapist, my primary goal is to create a safe and supportive space to discuss whatever is happening in your life; great, hard, and everything in between. I believe that we all have untapped measures of strength. I will encourage you to discover that strength while helping you feel less alone in your struggles. I strive to ensure that regardless of what you are bringing in to therapy, you always feel cared for, respected, and understood.
You are the expert on you. My job is to listen and support. I focus on relationship building and allow my clients to take the lead in determining our goals. Once we establish what you hope to get out of our experience together, I will use my clinical skills in trauma-informed and wellness-focused practice to help you improve your life.
Progress is a team effort. I will meet you where you are with empathy, compassion and multicultural openness. I want you to feel empowered and supported, with full permission to be your authentic self every step of the way. I want to help you get to a place where you accept all the parts of your story and yourself—trust that I already do. Let's connect!

I like to focus on endorphins (what makes you feel good) and empathy (connecting, and honoring your whole story). Our bodies and minds are connected and in our work together we will create space to address the needs of both.

Joni is no doubt a skilled clinician. On top of clinical skills, Joni knows how to hold space, create a nurturing environment, and also challenge you when you need it. I consider it a privilege to work with someone who embodies the work and cares so deeply
