Where Healing Finds Its Light

Through trauma therapy, grief counseling, and ALS support, I help people of all ages and backgrounds find clarity and strength during life’s most challenging moments. Using evidence-based care and compassionate guidance, we’ll illuminate your path toward understanding, healing, and emotional balance.

Hi! I'm Joanna

I’m a therapist who believes healing begins with being truly seen and never judged. Before entering private practice, I worked in addiction treatment and with the Department of the Army, where I saw firsthand how often people turn to substances to cope with unprocessed trauma. That realization shaped the foundation of my work and pushed me to build a practice centered on trauma recovery, resilience, and whole-person healing.

What Sets Me Apart

My practice is built on more than training—it’s built on years of real, immersive experience with trauma, military life, ALS, chronic illness, and end-of-life care. I’ve walked alongside hundreds of clients and families, offering a grounded, therapeutic presence through some of the hardest chapters of their lives. Clients trust me because I understand their world, and I meet them with both skill and compassion.
