Great to meet you!

Hi there, I’m Josi! I help women (18+) navigate life transitions, relationships, careers, and heal from traumas and patterns. You may be finding yourself trapped in loops of overthinking every decision, people-pleasing, or striving for perfection just to feel safe and secure. You may be noticing that you are carrying the weight of everyone else's needs while completely ignoring your own. Maybe you are struggling to say "no" or set clear boundaries because the guilt feels too heavy. Together, we will explore and untangle these patterns so you can set healthy boundaries, build meaningful relationships, and make lasting changes.

My approach to therapy

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), my approach is trauma-informed and attachment-based. In everyday terms, this means we will gently look at how your past relationships and early life experiences might still be impacting you. I specialize in EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a tool that helps you process those blocks. I am also an EMDR certified therapist.

What you can expect from me

We begin with the basics such as what brings you in, what are you hoping for, and what you feel ready to share!
