Calm Mind, Kind Heart, Loving Presence, and with it Peace

In life, we all encounter challenges that can leave us struggling with difficult emotions and at times, a lack of motivation.

It’s important to understand that these ups and downs are a natural part of the journey. Feeling overwhelmed at times is normal. During such moments of distress, seeking support and finding a guide to help navigate these emotions and discover a sense of purpose becomes crucial for personal growth and resilience.

Life can be dramatically better by realizing that the key to joy and ease rests inside you.

I can help you locate—and utilize—that place. Drawing upon scientifically-proven techniques—including mindfulness, positive psychology, and cognitive behavioral therapy—I can guide you into a new way of being, where your thoughts will be kind, your emotions manageable, your relationships meaningful, and your actions compassionate.

If you’re looking for practical, lasting ways to

  • Handle stress

  • Heal old pain

  • Cope with anger

  • Enhance self-worth

  • Enrich your relationships

  • Become more mindful

  • Improve your quality of life

then you have arrived at the right place.

My approach to wellness is integrative, drawing from a blend of my expertise as a certified Hatha yoga teacher, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist, MA in Counseling, Mindfulness practices, and Holistic philosophies.

Through this comprehensive approach, I can assist you in rediscovering your innate sense of tranquility and contentment, guiding you back to your natural core of inner Peace and balance. 

WORK WITH JOANNE

HER SERVICES HAVE BEEN FEATURED IN

 
 

Brainspotting Therapy

Joanne stands among only a handful of certified Brainspotting practitioners in Hawaii, and her dedication to creating a safe and nurturing space sets the stage for transformative healing. With her guidance, you’ll embark on a journey of self-discovery, starting with identifying both conscious and subconscious traumas, leading you towards forging authentic human connections and healing.

Mindfulness

All of my work operates from my belief that the ability to become still and centered benefits every aspect of a person’s life. I call upon my foundational and advanced training in mindfulness to teach others the skills they need become less reactive and more empathetic. With my guidance, you can foster clarity, acceptance, and change - and find purpose, bliss, and liberation.

 

Counseling

Few of us go through life untouched by difficulty, but having a trusted counselor advocating for your well-being can make all the difference. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space for people to explore their pasts, thoughts, and emotions, not only helping them navigate the issues they’re wrestling with but also showing them how to uncover, and leverage, their strengths.

Corporate Training

Mounting research demonstrates that mindfulness-based training for corporate teams bolsters job performance, boosts productivity, diminishes stress, and facilitates greater engagement. I lead groups and individuals through exercises that take mindfulness from an abstract concept into a daily, committed practice, and will give you the tools to co-create a thriving business environment.

 

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

Ketamine has a unique way of helping people with negative thoughts. Imagine your mind is like a looping tape of worries and sadness; Ketamine can pause and silence that tape. It does this by affecting certain parts of your brain and making them less active for a short while. This pause can give you a break from those heavy, negative thoughts and feelings. It's like hitting a reset button for your mind, allowing you to see things differently, experience relief, and feel better.

Mindful Real Estate

Buying and selling a home is very nuanced. There are external and internal factors that one must consider. Decisions about price, location, amenities- these are just a few elements you must navigate. You'll want to have a certified negotiation expert who can truly listen to you and help you listen to yourself when facing these big decisions. I’m offering something different and unique– an experience rather than a transaction. 

Let’s Connect

Seeking support can be a challenging but brave and necessary step towards a healthier, more gratifying life—and your relationship with your counselor is paramount to your wellness.

I offer complimentary, 15-minute consultations to assess the complications you’re facing and your goals with guidance and or counseling.

Once we clearly understand the areas you’re struggling with, I can estimate the journey ahead and how long it might take for us to work through these issues together. I aim to equip you with the skills to lead a life filled with joy and fulfillment. I’m genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting you and embarking on this journey together. 

My office is located in the Wailea Suites
