Joanna’s Bio

Joanna’s path to psychotherapy wasn’t a straight line. Before becoming a therapist, she built a career in a very different field and lived the experience of studying abroad, learning firsthand what it means to start over, adapt, and grow. That life experience adds real depth to the care she offers today.

Much of Joanna’s work involves children and the families around them. She believes that when a child is struggling, the whole family can be part of the way forward, so she works to strengthen communication and help family members truly understand one another.

Joanna believes every person is unique and has the potential to grow and change. In a safe, non-judgmental space, she meets clients with warmth, empathy, and honesty, helping them feel heard and building on the strengths they already have.
