Hi I’m Joanna, I’m glad you found me. Picking a therapist is sometimes overwhelming, so I want to tell you a bit about me. I value authenticity, mutual respect, and self-agency, which guides my collaborative work with my clients. I draw from my lived experiences as someone who is a co-parent, Filipino immigrant to Canada, queer, and neurodivergent. I believe that spirituality is completely personal, and I am deeply spiritual with a background in Christian Theology. My goal is to provide you with a safe space to be completely yourself and move you towards your greatest potential - whatever that is for you. If any of this resonates, book a consult with me, and let’s see how we can work together. You deserve better.
