More about Joelle:

Joelle began her career as a Registered Dietitian, specializing in eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image. Over time, she discovered her deep passion for mental health and found her strength in forming meaningful connections with others. Her master’s thesis combined her expertise in nutrition and mental health by exploring the relationship between ADHD symptoms, interoceptive awareness, and intuitive eating. Dedicated to lifelong learning, Joelle is committed to ongoing professional development to ensure she provides her clients with ethical, evidence-based care.

Joelle approaches her work with an attachment-based, somatic, and humanistic perspective. She takes the time to understand how both past and present experiences shape her clients’ lives, offering a compassionate space to navigate and process these challenges. Her goal is to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where clients can show up authentically, even when therapy feels vulnerable or difficult. Joelle stands by her clients every step of the way, working collaboratively toward their goals with empathy and respect.

​

When she’s not in the therapy room, Joelle enjoys dancing or moving her body, often while indulging in her favorite treat—Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Dough ice cream.
