I’m a Certified EMDR therapist who’s here to help you feel more like you again. Whether you’re carrying around old stuff that’s hard to shake or just feeling stuck, I offer a calm, supportive space to work through it—at your pace, on your terms.

I bring a steady presence, evidence-based tools, and a deep belief in your capacity to heal. EMDR is powerful, and so are you. I’ll guide you through the process at your pace, with care, clarity, and My approach is grounded in science but delivered with warmth, humor, and a genuine respect for your journey.

I use EMDR because it works—and because it helps people move forward in meaningful ways. But more than that, I show up as a real person. You won’t get a blank stare or therapy speak here. Just real conversation, genuine curiosity, and a steady belief that healing is possible (and that it doesn’t have to be heavy all the time).

I offer weekend and flexible appointments. My specialties include depression/anxiety, people pleasers, weight issues, grief/loss, and trauma (PTSD). I am a compassionate counselor wanting to support your goals. Through our work together, you will learn how to improve your life, heal, and move forward.

Please message me to get started or self-schedule a session today.

Recommended Reading: Somatic Healing by J. Emberly – Johnna recommends this book to anyone seeking tools for emotional and physical self-awareness, whether or not they are her clients. The book and accompanying workbook is available to purchase on Amazon.
