Rewrite your past and your coping strategies will flourish. No matter how strange or painful our life or relationships are, we can understand them to minimize their power to damage us today and tomorrow. We should not deny tragedy when it visits us. And yet, we can re-conceive of most situations to make them more manageable. This is the most gratifying work we can do as people.

Therapy is a space to talk about your deepest hurts and fears. To do that, you need to feel like you can trust the person you’re talking to. I have years of experience sitting with people grieving losses and going through big transitions. I am not afraid of grief, or anger. I also work with people who struggle with intimacy and vulnerability. Sometimes our troubles come from inside and sometimes they are a result of the things that happen to us. Together, we will spend time with both, giving voice and care to parts of the self that have been overlooked or overwhelmed.

Hi, I'm Joanne! I work with folks who are experiencing uncertainty about their relationships or feel unmotivated at work or unsatisfied in their lifestyle. People that are navigating change, exploring their identity or purpose, and building sincere relationships. Those that are interested in breaking familial patterns and doing something different and meaningful with their lives. The world can be so soul-crushing sometimes, causing us to feel shame over their identities, desires, or behaviors. Understanding our identities or behaviors releases shame, builds self-confidence, and allows for true sustained change.

Relationships are hard. My goal is to help couples identify the patterns in which they get stuck, the emotional needs underneath their arguments, and what is preventing them from understanding their partners. I utilize strategies that help build mutual trust and emotional safety in order to regulate intense feelings of anxiety, fear, and pain. Couples will learn how to argue fairly, communicate effectively without escalating into blame or criticism, and improve their listening skills. Couples therapy helps create new and sustainable ways of connecting to one another and nourishing the love and respect in their relationships.

I also use my knowledge as a sex therapist to aid individuals in navigating a range of sexuality-related challenges, including sexual dysfunction, gender, identity, desire, sexual trauma, and shame.
