About me

Hi. I am honored that you are looking at my profile. It can be overwhelming to reach out for help, and I am so glad you are here to take the first step!

My name is Johanna and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years' experience working as a therapist. I have experience working with people of all ages and concerns, specifically trauma, stress management, anxiety, conflict and relationship issues. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings providing individual, family and group therapy.

My approach to therapy is down to earth and laid back. I firmly believe that change happens within the context of the relationship so it's important to connect with the right therapist. I want all the people I work with to feel safe, respected and accepted. I really enjoy working with individuals and helping them realize their potential and watching them reach the goals they set for themselves. I believe in starting where you are and working on the issues that are important to you. Healing is possible.

Thank you and I look forward to working with you.

Johanna
