Meet Jhoana

I specialize in helping people address depression, anxiety, panic attacks, relationship, and communication issues, professional and academic burnout, life transitions, and Queer/LGBTQ+ issues. I strive to create a judgment-free environment for all patients where they feel validated. My experience includes working with adults who identify as BIPOC/Latine as well as with adults who recently immigrated to the U.S. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Problem-solving Solving Therapy (PST). I also have training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

I strive to create a judgment-free environment for all patients where they feel validated.
