With 5 years of professional experience, she holds the credential LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and is also an ATR, a Registered Art Therapist - a credential that reflects formal training in using art-making as a therapeutic tool.

Joanna also supports concerns such as body image, codependency, family-of-origin issues, workplace challenges, and struggles common to young adults. She aims to cultivate an open, nonjudgmental, and brave space where feelings and experiences can be explored honestly. Seeking greater fulfillment and well-being can feel daunting - Joanna offers steady, creative support to help clients clarify goals, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that fits their life.

Creative and Skills-Focused Therapy Delivered Online

Joanna integrates art-based therapy with practical, evidence-informed skills work to address emotional and life challenges. Art-based therapy uses guided creative activities to help people express feelings that can be hard to put into words and can be especially useful when processing grief, stress, or identity concerns. Skills-focused, evidence-informed strategies teach concrete tools for managing anxiety, improving coping with life changes, and reducing symptoms of overwhelm or compassion fatigue.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Joanna works with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and strengths, adjusting the mix of creative exploration and skills practice over time so the work feels meaningful and doable.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from wherever the client is located in Washington. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and allow therapists and clients to continue momentum between sessions through messaging and varied communication formats.
