When life feels overwhelming, relationships become strained, or you’re struggling to find a way forward, having a supportive space to talk things through can make a meaningful difference. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience in marriage and family therapy, individual mental health counseling, and substance use therapy. Before entering the therapeutic field, I spent more than 20 years in church ministry, which continues to inform my faith-based approach to working with clients. I’m also a certified marriage arbitrator. I believe each person’s experiences, relationships, values, and beliefs play an important role in their overall well-being. My goal is to offer a welcoming, down-to-earth environment where you can feel heard, gain perspective, and work toward meaningful change.

Hi, I'm Joanie! If you're feeling weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or painful life experiences, you don't have to navigate them alone. Trauma can leave you feeling stuck in the past, constantly on edge, or wondering why certain emotions and reactions seem so difficult to control. My approach is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. I work with adults to better understand how past experiences continue to shape their lives today while helping them build the insight, confidence, and tools needed to move forward in a way that feels authentic and empowering.

I began my career in community mental health in 2010. I completed my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Evangel University. Prior to becoming a therapist I worked as a nurse for 13 years. This background leads me to take a holistic, whole-person approach to my practice.

Therapist

I specialize in supporting women navigating complex experiences that often go misunderstood. This includes women who have experienced harm within spiritual or religious communities—whether that's spiritual abuse, religious trauma, or the complicated grief of leaving a faith tradition. I also work with women managing anxiety, depression, and interpersonal trauma.

If you've felt silenced, questioned your own reality, or struggled to trust yourself after difficult experiences, you're not alone. My practice is a place where your story matters, your feelings are valid, and healing is possible.
