Johanna created a safe learning environment during one of our professional development meetings that focused on trauma-informed care. Our team members greatly appreciated the education and awareness she brought that discussed specific topics that are tough but necessary when working with our population. We appreciate the time she took to develop the training and for answering all of our questions. She is a valuable resource and we recommend her expertise as an Individual and Family Trauma Therapist.

Testimonials
"Our children were referred to Johanna by an ERAT counselor after our family went through some turbulent and unfortunate times. Johanna was great with our children, and they looked forward to their time with her every week. I felt she was there for our family and did her best to help the children navigate the turbulence. At the end of the program, the children showed improvement with identifying their feelings and learning how to better emotionally navigate similar situations should they occur in the future."
"I’m thankful my children and I were connected with Johanna during a very difficult time. Johanna is patient, compassionate, and empathetic, which is all you could hope for in a children’s therapist. She worked to equip my children with coping skills to face and come to terms with their trauma all while keeping me involved in the process and supporting me as their parent. My kids love her. They felt safe speaking freely with Johanna and always looked forward to therapy. I highly recommend, Johanna."
