Hello. My name is Joanna, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Yoga Teacher. I have been practicing psychotherapy for almost six years, and recently studied in India to become a yoga instructor.
I specialize in working with children, teens, and families challenged from a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, ptsd, mild to moderate depression, post natal depression, survivors of all kinds of acute and complex trauma (including generational and historical), and women and/or couples seeking infant mental health therapy.
Most of my clinical training has been in trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, integrative family systems, infant mental health/attachment-based, Play-therapy, mindfulness based-substance abuse treatment, and humanistic psychology.
One of my core beliefs in helping others help themselves is that change is only effective is there is a level of autonomy and self-empowerment. The first step in a journey of change is often the most difficult. I recognize that the authentic therapeutic alliance is the foundation for healing. As a therapist my goal is to offer you an unconditional positive regard and assist you in achieving your goals. I look forward to our work together.

Joanna is thoughtful and considerate, and has been of enormous help on my mental health journey. She is by far the most effective counselor I have ever seen, and I am so grateful for all of her help and expertise.
