Jo Love

I am a therapist, educator, and advocate dedicated to helping individuals heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves through compassionate, trauma-informed care. With master’s degrees in Curriculum & Instruction and Counseling & Development, along with backgrounds in education, school counseling, and mental health, I bring an integrative perspective to my work with women, adolescents, teens, families, and individuals navigating life transitions.

I specialize in maternal mental health, trauma, emotional wellness, identity rebuilding, and relationship dynamics. I also work extensively with adolescents and teens facing anxiety, self-esteem challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, school-related stress, family conflict, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a space where clients feel seen, supported, safe, and empowered throughout their healing journey.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and trauma-informed. I believe healing happens when people are given the space to process their experiences without judgment while also building practical tools for growth and emotional wellness.

I draw from my experience in education, counseling, and behavioral health to help clients develop coping skills, emotional resilience, clarity, healthier relationships, and sustainable self-worth. I strive to balance clinical insight with warmth, relatability, and authenticity so therapy feels meaningful, supportive, and personalized to each client’s needs.

If life feels heavy, confusing, or unsustainable—especially during seasons of caregiving or transition—you deserve support. Therapy can be a place to rest, heal, and reclaim yourself without judgment. During the first session, clients can expect a and supportive environment where we begin building connection, understanding, and trust. We will discuss what brings you to therapy, explore current challenges, and talk about your goals for the counseling process.

My goal is not to pressure you to share everything immediately, but to help you feel comfortable, heard, and supported at your own pace. Together, we will begin identifying areas of concern, strengths, and possible next steps while creating a foundation for therapy that feels collaborative, empowering, and aligned with your needs.

There is no pressure to share everything at once—we move at a pace that feels safe and respectful of where you are. When you’re ready to take that step, I’m here. Reach out to begin.
