Hi there, I'm Jo-Ellen!

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what to do? When life doesn’t unfold as expected, the emotional pain of loss due to illness, anxiety, or other major life transitions can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and the life you want. You are not alone. Together, we will make sense of your experience and create a plan to move forward.

My focus

I support adults who are navigating the emotional pain of life transitions, chronic conditions, caregiving stress, or relationship loss. These experiences can leave many feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and disconnected. I offer a supportive path toward healing, resilience, and a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with who you want to become.

My approach

My approach to care is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in deep listening. Therapy with me is a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are—without pressure or pretense. I take time to understand your experiences, your story, and what matters most to you. I integrate evidence-based practices with practical tools.
