Great to meet you!

I've been licensed in California for over 3 decades, supporting individuals, couples, groups, children in play therapy, and families (ages 3 - 83).

Clients collaborate with me to explore patterns, themes, or stories that express or describe how they experience themselves, others, our culture, the world.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and harmonious life - to make new decisions towards change. I am absolutely with you, to support these steps in practical and measurable ways. Welcome!

A bit about my approach to therapy

Cognitive-behavioral with a touch of Jungian perspective; family systems; mindfulness; client-centered; No "shoulds"

What you can expect from our first session

Optimism: Concrete planning toward change - based on strengths and improvements they already demonstrate; what to try and practice now/next.

Joni's style is

Holistic

Affirming

Solution-oriented
