Joanna is a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) as a Registered Psychotherapist as well as a member of the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals. She holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.
I have specialized training in working with couples and individuals from an emotionally focused perspective. I work with individual clients whose fear or worry shows up at the worst possible times, and support couples who are both leaning in, want to stay together, and want to believe their relationship still has hope, as well as couples who are struggling to figure out what their direction is in their relationship. I support people to form loving connections and improve their relationships with their partner(s) as well as themselves. I meet them where they're at and support them as well as their relationship. My training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) allows me to provide evidence-based interventions to support both individual clients and couples to create lasting change in their lives.
Clients say I'm not like other therapists. They appreciate that I show up authentically and with humour; I'm not stuffy and I won't just smile and nod! I create a space where you will feel heard, valued and understood. I have relationship training in EFT to Core Skills level however good rapport with your therapist is critical beyond the type the therapy your therapist is trained in.
I work with individuals and couples, but also continue to stay connected to working with youth, tweens and teens as I did in the beginning of my career and have a particular passion for working with women to rediscover themselves after major life changes. I use an integrative approach to customize therapy to you: including self-compassion, mindfulness, attachment, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT).
