HELLO, I’m Joanna.
I am a licensed therapist in Boston, Massachusetts.
I’m glad you are here.
I believe therapy should be a supportive, compassionate space where you feel seen and heard. Together we will explore what led you to reach out and take this important, courageous next step. You may have a clear sense of what this is, or it might require a deeper look into what’s getting in the way of the life you want.
We will work together to identify old patterns and create new pathways toward growth. You will learn to expand your capacity for the big, and oftentimes, uncomfortable feelings instead of struggling with them and getting stuck.
“Life is brutal. But it’s also beautiful. It’s ‘brutiful’.”
- Glennon Doyle
I love this quote because life is both deeply challenging and amazingly beautiful. It’s not one or the other. Therapy can help you navigate uncertainty with more confidence and help you discover or feel more connected to what brings you meaning, purpose, and joy.

Have you been thinking about therapy for a while?
You keep putting it off because life is too busy and now just isn’t the right time. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by the process of finding a therapist or the thought of starting over with someone new.
I get it.
I understand how hard it can be to take that next step. During our complementary 15-minute consultation call, you can ask me any questions about my experience or approach, and then decide if we’re a good fit to work together.
