Great to meet you!

I’m a Certified EMDR therapist who’s here to help you feel more like you again. Whether you’re carrying around old stuff that’s hard to shake or just feeling stuck, I offer a calm, supportive space to work through it—at your pace, on your terms.

I bring a steady presence, evidence-based tools, and a deep belief in your capacity to heal. EMDR is powerful, and so are you. I’ll guide you through the process at your pace, with care, clarity, and My approach is grounded in science but delivered with warmth, humor, and a genuine respect for your journey.

I use EMDR because it works—and because it helps people move forward in meaningful ways. But more than that, I show up as a real person. You won’t get a blank stare or therapy speak here. Just real conversation, genuine curiosity, and a steady belief that healing is possible (and that it doesn’t have to be heavy all the time).

I offer weekend and flexible appointments. My specialties include depression/anxiety, people pleasers, weight issues, grief/loss, and trauma (PTSD). I am a compassionate counselor wanting to support your goals. Through our work together, you will learn how to improve your life, heal, and move forward.

Please message me to get started or self-schedule a session today.

Recommended Reading: Somatic Healing by J. Emberly – Johnna recommends this book to anyone seeking tools for emotional and physical self-awareness, whether or not they are her clients. The book and accompanying workbook is available to purchase on Amazon.

My approach to therapy

My goal in counseling is simple: to help you feel better and more like yourself. I offer a supportive, compassionate space where you can bring whatever you're carrying—no judgment, no pressure. Just real talk, at your pace to get you unstuck and move you forward.

I use a mix of approaches, including EMDR, CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy, depending on what fits you best. Therapy with me is a collaboration—we’ll work together to untangle what’s been getting in the way and find tools that actually make a difference in your day-to-day life.

You don’t have to do it alone—and you don’t have to have it all figured out to start. Curious about what this could look like for you? Let’s connect.

What you can expect from me

Clients often leave sessions feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to themselves. You can expect to gain practical tools for managing stress and emotions, along with a deeper understanding of where certain patterns or reactions might be coming from.

With EMDR and other approaches, we don’t just talk about the past—we work through it in a way that helps it loosen its grip. Over time, clients often say they feel more present, more empowered, and more able to respond to life instead of just reacting to it.

If that sounds like something you’re ready for, I’d love to support you on your path. Reach out to schedule a session or ask any questions—I’m here when you’re ready.
