About

Hello, I'm Joann, a licensed clinical social worker and I'm here to support you, whether you’re hoping to better manage anxiety, deepen relationships, or reclaim your voice, our work together will be collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in respect for your unique lived experiences. At the heart of my work is gentleness, cultural humility, and trauma-informed care. Some of the areas I specialize in include: anxiety, maternal health, parenting, ADHD management, gender identity, racial identity, childhood trauma, Lifestage transitions, pre-marital counseling, grief, burnout, relationship counseling. I use a trauma-informed, person-centered approach to therapy and draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities, including: CBT, ACT, and EFT. I work with individuals and couples, from preteens discovering who they are, to adults navigating life’s transitions, to oIder adults reflecting on meaning and legacy.
