About me

While working in a children's residential facility for four years, I had the great pleasure to meet some of the most brave, resilient, and insightful people, who also happened to be teens. They taught me a great deal. One thing I observed, at times though, was that at times they weren't taken seriously by others because of their youth. No one knows more about a person's life than the person who has lived it. Because of this, I would like to help you achieve your goals in the forms of creative coping, problem solving, and feelings management, plus more. I look forward to meeting you!

Joni has been very attentive and understanding when we speak. She's professional, but still comfortable to talk to and very personable.

Joni has been so fantastic! Very understanding, experienced and fair in her insights. Even after our first session I felt like progress was made. Thankyou Joni!

Joni listens to me. Sometimes I need to just talk my way through my issues and she gives input at the end. Other times we have back and forth throughout. I feel absolutely comfortable coming forth and sharing my problems with Joni and always look forward to our sessions.

I think Joni is a really good therapist. She listens to you, and gives you advice and consolation, but isn’t afraid to tell you you’re in the wrong. She helped me find out more about myself while helping me with coping mechanisms for my anxiety and depression. I would definitely recommend Joni.

Joni is wonderful. She really listens to me and gives me information to help. No judgement or criticism just helpful tips, advice, or just simply a listening ear when needed.

We've just now begun the process of getting started up with therapy and I'm already very happy with Joni... She was the perfect match for me, and her down to earth way about how she carries herself makes very easy for me to open up to her!

Joni is a wonderful and kind person, and I’m very happy that she was my first experience with a therapist. After only a few months, I had settled everything that I was facing and have never felt better. I cannot recommend Joni enough!

Written on Dec 19, 2022 after therapy with Joni for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting issues, self esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and adhd

Joni has been great. She is empathetic but also doesn't let me get away with any crap, which I personally need and appreciate. She's funny and I was immediately comfortable, which is saying something as I was very nervous and tend to be pretty shy. She's practical and supportive and hilarious too.

A great doctor who understands LGBTQi+ individuals who have drug addiction problems.

Joni is understanding, kind, and down to earth. I feel supported as I work through the things that brought me to seek help. I would highly recommend working with her. I have a long way to go but I am already able to communicate with my loved ones a lot easier. Thank you Joni!!!

Joni allows me to speak freely and really lets me dig deep into my brain. She offers many things to say to myself throughout the week that have saved me. She gives me an alternative narrative to look at things with that have made difficult situations so much lighter. Thank you!

Written on Sep 29, 2022 after therapy with Joni for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship

Wasn’t sure how much I was going to like this type of therapy. I wasn’t sure I could relate to someone that I didn’t know and lived far away. And then I saw her and I didn’t know what to think. She’s very unique but when she opened her mouth I knew that I could relate to her. Joni is very skilled and I’m very happy to have her as my therapist
