Introduction

Note: I am only licensed to work with folx located in California. Joanna is a Native American, queer womxn of color closely attuned to the intersectionality of her existence which allows her firsthand experience to the unique intricacies of a person.

Joanna has been in the field since 2011, she interacts with a Person-Centered approach and modality to support, guide and assist clients in a culturally sensitive way and believes people are the experts on themselves. Joanna's therapeutic style is primarily rooted in EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a Systems Approach and Mindfulness, with a focus on better understanding the origins of one's thoughts and behaviors and how those impact one's past, present, and future.
