With a warm and collaborative approach, JoAnna creates a safe space where clients can explore their emotions, understand the roots of their struggles, and learn practical tools for growth and self-acceptance.

JoAnna specializes in working with children and adolescents experiencing behavioral and emotional regulation challenges, including those with neurodevelopmental differences such as Autism Spectrum Disorders or developmental disabilities.

Outside of her work at LifeStance Health, JoAnna enjoys playing or listening to music, exploring new hiking trails, trying new foods, and spending time with her partner and two cats.
