About me

I believe that counseling is a collaborative relationship between myself and a client(s). I am passionate about helping others gain insight and restore their sense of self through processing life obstacles and meaning making. My Adlerian approach encourages positive change while helping individuals become familiar with their life organization (e.g. family constellation, birth order, social networks, and environmental factors) through value clarification.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another vehicle that drives my clinical approach to working with clients. My therapeutic experiences using a CBT approach facilitates an environment conducive for persons to take on new ways of thinking and behaving about people, situations, and/or events.

Understanding that not many people are comfortable with seeking help, my therapeutic approach is engaging, interactive, and more like having a conversation. It is embedded in rendering respect, trustworthiness, and genuineness, and most importantly, establishing a healthy working alliance. Regardless of your issues, questions, and/or concerns, I am able to tailor my approach to assist you.

I eagerly anticipate working with you!

I have worked with Dr. Johnson for two years. Words can't explain how amazing she is! I have worked with lots of therapist with not much help. I didn't have much expectations when I joined betterhelp.com. Dr. Johnson gave me different perspectives to help me grieve through my divorce which was horrific! Not only did we discuss my divorce but also various topics such as family, friendships,, jobs and set. Never did I feel judged and we shared even some laughs through the computer. She not only made it an enjoyable experience but definitely worthwhile. I feel I recovered very quickly from a traumatic experience because of her! Thank you Dr. Johnson!

Dr. Johnson is nothing short of amazing! She is teaching me to communicate effectively which is life changing in itself! She has shown me different perspectives which has broadened my horizons and has helped me become a better person! Definitely a great investment working with Dr. Johnson! She is by far, hands down, the best therapist I have had the opportunity to work with throughout the years!

Dr Johnson is really thoughtful and caring. She takes the time to process what you say and offers new perspective on how to reframe the way you think about things. I enjoy having the ability to talk to her whenever I need.
