About

Greetings, I'm Joan. The journey of therapy embodies the precious chance to unearth oneself, particularly when we find ourselves immobilized, uneasy, and yearning for transformation, yet uncertain about the initial steps. Together, we will navigate the path to liberation and equilibrium across various domains of your existence. Are you seeking enhanced communication with your spouse, family, and friends? Are you weary of recurring disputes that never seem to resolve? I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a specialization in Communication, Mindfulness, and Relationships. I eagerly anticipate the voyage of uncovering strategies for enhancing these spheres. Furthermore, my expertise extends to couples counseling, addressing infertility, and engaging with the adoption triad: comprising Adoptees, Adoptive Families, and Birth Families. My enthusiasm lies in establishing a secure and nurturing setting that fosters transformative change.
