Are you feeling stuck, frustrated, or overwhelmed in your relationships? Do you find yourself struggling with communication, trust, or recurring patterns that seem impossible to break? Perhaps you’re navigating the pain of a breakup, toxic dynamics, or unresolved issues from the past. As a therapist with 17 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals explore and overcome relationship challenges, whether they stem from romantic relationships, family dynamics, friendships, or workplace interactions. Together, we’ll uncover the root of these challenges, help you build self-confidence, and develop healthier patterns that lead to more fulfilling connections. In a safe, supportive space, I’ll provide personalized guidance and practical tools to empower you to grow and thrive—starting with yourself. Let’s work together to help you create the healthy, meaningful relationships you deserve.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, my goal is to create a warm, safe, and supportive space where we can begin to get to know each other. I’ll start by asking about what brought you to therapy, what challenges you’re facing, and what you hope to achieve. We’ll explore your current concerns, personal history, and any patterns or emotions you’ve noticed, but always at a pace that feels comfortable for you. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions, share your goals, and get a sense of how we can work together. Most importantly, my focus is on ensuring you feel heard, understood, and respected as we begin this journey toward growth and healing.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard and supported. I bring a deep sense of empathy, patience, and understanding to every session, meeting you exactly where you are in your journey. My expertise lies in identifying patterns and helping you uncover the root of your challenges, empowering you to make meaningful and lasting changes. I am skilled at tailoring evidence-based techniques to your unique needs, ensuring that therapy is both effective and personalized. Above all, I am committed to walking alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges, providing the tools, guidance, and encouragement you need to thrive.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are individuals who are ready to explore the deeper layers of their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. I work best with those who may feel stuck in recurring patterns, struggle with self-doubt, or are navigating challenges like relationship issues, life transitions, or unresolved past experiences. Whether you’re seeking clarity, emotional healing, or personal growth, I am here to support you. My clients are often motivated to create meaningful change, even if they feel unsure of where to start, and I help guide them toward greater self-awareness, healthier boundaries, and a renewed sense of confidence. If you’re open to self-reflection and looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space to work through life’s challenges, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

Joanne has been great for me to have someone who will listen carefully and respond with actionable advice. I never feel that she is judgemental and that allows me to be vulnerable and honest. She lets me work things out myself which is often all that I need.
