LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Holly Springs, NC
In addition, I am committed to woman-centered therapy and LGBTQ affirming care.
Hi, I’m Joanna, a veteran teacher turned therapist, and I’m here to help! I love therapy, normalizing the human experience, and helping children, teens, and adults develop strong coping skills for anxiety, executive dysfunction, and outbursts/overwhelm.
My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded. I will always be real with you and hold space for your path and pace. Growth is non-linear and will look different for everyone; you can’t do it wrong when you’re trying. I believe therapy should be a safe, non-judgmental, affirming space in whatever way feels most supportive to you, because it is for you.

At the heart of my work is a deep belief in the inherent worth, dignity, and potential of every person. I approach therapy with the understanding that healing begins in spaces where you are truly seen, heard, witnessed, and valued. My practice is rooted in a person-centered philosophy that honors each individual's unique story, inner wisdom, and capacity for growth. Guided by principles of trauma-informed care, cultural humility, and social justice, I acknowledge the complex intersections of identity, culture, and systemic factors in mental health.

Stress, depression, anxiety and trauma, are a part of everyday life, yet most of us avoid our feelings and negate the vast emotions that surface. We deny our emotions and lean into everyday routines and then wonder why we feel sad, angry, overwhelmed and exhausted. These reactions can negatively affect our interpersonal relationships on every level – intimate sexual relationships, friendships, parent child dynamics and work relationships. Life does not have to exist this way.

Since each client has unique strengths and challenges, I customize my therapeutic approaches to ensure a successful experience. By employing an eclectic theoretical orientation, I strive to help clients discover meaning in their lives and set goals that align with their unique journeys.
