Hello there I am Debbie and I have been working in the counseling field for over 16 years and practicing as a licensed clinical therapist the last 10 years.

Hello! My name is JoAnna and my primary specialty is trauma. I am certified in EMDR and am an EMDR consultant for other EMDR Therapists. I also specialize in domestic violence, narcissistic abuse recovery, addiction, mental health (bipolar, depression, anxiety, ADHD), Dissociation and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), chronic illness, spiritual/religious abuse recovery. In addition to using EMDR, I am also attachment and somatic focused in my therapeutic approach. I provide Christian Counseling upon request.

When life looks “fine” from the outside but feels overwhelming on the inside, therapy can help you slow down and find your footing again. I’m an LCSW with nearly 30 years of experience in the mental health field and over 20 years providing therapy to adults navigating anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, work-life imbalance, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with high-functioning professionals who are used to carrying a lot for others while quietly struggling with pressure, perfectionism, or exhaustion themselves.

Clients often describe my style as calm, steady, practical, and deeply supportive. I help you make sense of what is driving your stress, understand the patterns underneath your anxiety or burnout, and build realistic steps that help you feel more grounded, clear, and in control. I draw from CBT, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies, but I tailor the work to your pace, needs, and goals. If you’re feeling stuck, drained, or ready for something to shift, I offer a space where you can breathe, regroup, and move forward with greater confidence.

I am a marriage and family therapist with experience treating individuals, couples, and families. I recognize that we are relational beings and our mental health is deeply impacted by our interpersonal relationships. Our attachment patterns are formed in childhood and continue to influence how we interact with others throughout our lives.
