About Johanna

Seeking help is a courageous step. Life can be challenging, and in a safe, warm, and non-judgmental environment, I invite you to relax and allow your journey to unfold. Let me provide the space for you to find your way. It's okay to feel pain. As Einstein said, "You cannot solve a problem in the same condition it was created." We often need an outside perspective to gain insight and create change. My approach is gently truthful and straightforward. I believe in you and am committed to working with you to create the life you deserve.

I am here for those seeking healing and growth. Blending spiritual practice, gratitude, and depth work, I help you leverage your strengths to maximize your healing. I work with individuals, adolescents, and their families for healing and potential. My work is deep and soulful, and I sometimes extend sessions slightly to complete the work at hand. Flexibility, patience, and kindness are essential to the environment I cultivate.
