Hi, my name is Joni. I am a US Navy veteran and currently a military spouse. I
believe that meaningful change begins with truly being seen and understood. My goal is
to create a space where clients can show up as they are without judgment, pressure, or the need to have everything figured out.
I work from an existential perspective, helping clients explore questions of meaning, purpose, identity, relationships, and the challenges that naturally arise throughout life. I
also draw from CBT and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients identify
practical goals and move forward toward the life they want to live.
I am passionate about serving members of the Military community, active duty, reservists, veterans, and their families. I am excited to work with individuals, teens, and couples. I’m committed to meeting you where you are, walking alongside you through life's difficulties, and helping you pursue the values that matter most to you.
