Hi, I’m Joni!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State and owner of Rooted.

I graduated with my Masters of Arts in Counseling from Northwestern University where I gained experience utilizing Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which are just fancy terms for varying types of therapy.

Some of my biggest passions within my field are: trauma, anxiety, depression, and identity work - especially for those in the LGBTQ+ community. Personally, I am passionate about reading all kinds of books, showing up as the best mom I can be to my toddler, and drinking copious amounts of coffee (which fuels my first two passions).

I believe that one of my strengths as a therapist is my own real world experience with anxiety and trauma. I have dug deep in my own therapy, which empowered me to come out as a proud bi-sexual woman as an adult. The more I have watered my own roots in therapy, the more I have thrived. Because of this, I am confident in my own tools I bring into the therapeutic process.
