Video: Jonna describes her therapy style
Length: 2min 14sec
My approach to therapy is Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, Trauma Informed, and Emotion- and Somatic-focused. I also offer Expressive Play as a non-traditional approach to self-discovery and creative flow.
I practice compassionate and intuitive listening combined with focused inquiry to help you gain new perspectives. I stay aware of your individual cultural, historical, and gender identities.
I am a former writer and performer. I’ve experienced depression, anxiety, deep rage, and grief. I’ve had losses, been through cancer, and am a sexual abuse survivor. I fell in love with therapy through my own journey, and I feel honored to help hold open the door for others to come to peace and self-understanding.
I have a cozy, quiet office in a Pasadena bungalow, close to Arroyo Whole Foods. There’s plenty of free street parking, a comfy waiting room, and tea.
