Therapist

I offer a relaxed non judgemental environment. I earned my Masters in Social Work at The University of Missouri- Kansas City campus. My clinical education and experience began in foster care, adoption and working with families. Then it branched out to Veteran care and a Dementia specialty. I have always enjoyed offering end of life care as it is sacred work. I have a lot of experience working with couples navigating various relationship problems. I believe it all comes down to having a caring, competent provider to walk along side you when you need one, regardless of the situation. If together we find that I can be that therapist for you...we will get busy helping you feel relief and gain confidence in whatever you are dealing with.

Figuring out who you are while anxiety, depression, or an ADHD brain that won't slow down is fighting you the whole way is exhausting. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (with almost 20 years of experience working with young people) who works primarily with older adolescents and young adults navigating exactly that, along with trauma, relationships, identity, and life transitions. I want this to be a space where you can slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and start feeling more grounded and confident.

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.

Life’s journey can be full of ups and downs that sometimes leave us feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, confused, or deeply hurt. There are seasons when the pieces of our story can feel difficult to understand or even know how to put back together. You don’t have to navigate those moments alone! As your therapist, I seek to be a compassionate and understanding presence alongside you as you work through the challenges you’re facing. My hope is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and accepted. A place where you can make sense of the painful pieces of your story, begin to heal, and discover new possibilities for growth.
