Hi there, I'm Joanna!

I love walking alongside my clients in some of the most difficult times of their lives and helping them to make positive change. I help clients navigate anxiety, trauma, and big life changes like adulthood and parenting. My goal is to help you live a more balanced life that aligns with your values, while accepting what we can't change.

My focus

My areas of focus include anxiety disorders, especially OCD, as well as infertility and perinatal mental health. I'm open to all ages, but I mostly work with teens and young adults (13-30s). I also enjoy working with queer clients and immigrants. I'm a native level Spanish speaker and can provide therapy in Spanish.

My approach

I mainly use Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to help desensitize clients to OCD and anxiety, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps us accept and manage intrusive thoughts rather than fight them. I have tons of training in trauma, including EMDR and TF-CBT. I'm also a perinatal mental health specialist (PMH-C) as well.
