Hi! I’m Dr. Johnson… and I love helping people learn more about themselves and what drives their choices. Insight can liberate us from limiting, painful life patterns and deep understanding can be the birthplace of healing self-compassion. Feeling confused, lost, down, or hopeless is a part of life, but we don’t have to stay there, and we don’t have to navigate those experiences alone. Bring your courage and curiosity and together we can work towards meaningful and lasting change.

Hi! I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in helping adults who struggle with self-esteem, cultural and identity concerns, relationship issues, trauma recovery, as well as depression and anxiety.

I believe that each and every one of my client's has within them the power to heal themselves and change their own behavior. My purpose is to use my experience and knowledge to collaborate with you and assist in analyzing and determining patterns of learned behavior or thinking that, while understandable, haven't been working out as well as you'd like. Then, together, I will assist you in building awareness, discovering your power, and teaching you how to use your power to make your own life altering positive change. My goal for each one of my client's is not only to help, but to have each one leave my office feeling empowered. I utilize techniques and perspectives associated with cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and humanistic therapies. Using an integrative approach, I will work with you to develop a treatment plan that pulls the most positive aspects of each theory to customize a plan that works best for your individual set of concerns. Availability: Virtual appointments available Mon-Thurs 10am-6pm. In-person appointments available Fri & Sun 12pm-6pm. If you have any questions, or just want to call to discuss if I may be the right counselor for you, please feel free to call or send me an email. Thank you.
