Joanna is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois. She works primarily with adults who have a history of trauma, attachment issues and complex PTSD. She is trained in EMDR and uses it, along with a blend of cognitive behavior and dialectical behavior therapy techniques. She views client experiences with both a trauma-informed and attachment theory lens and incorporates Christian beliefs if clients desire. Her clients have said that she is warm, non-judgmental, nurturing, easy to talk to.

She considers therapy a success when the client leaves feeling they have reached the goals they set at the beginning of therapy. She believes that ending therapy doesn’t mean a person is “fixed” but when therapy is a success, clients feel capable of managing life’s challenges using the tools and skills gained in their therapeutic work.

Education: Joanna completed her master’s degree in clinical professional psychology at Roosevelt University in Chicago and also has a master’s degree in gerontology from Kansas State University.
