Hi there! My name is Junnell

What makes me a good therapist is my clients see me as a human being and not a textbook robot. They see that I care, and that I have empathy, respect, and compassion for them. I help others understand that they are important and can get through difficult things in life. Most importantly, that loving themselves is number one.

My Approach

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist who is ready to help couples grow. As a therapist who has practiced for over 10 years, I recognize relationships have the power to help us heal, grow, and feel deeply connected—but they can also bring old wounds, stress, and patterns to the surface. Couples therapy offers a compassionate space to slow down, understand one another more deeply, and strengthen your connection. Together, we'll explore not only communication and conflict but also the emotional and nervous system patterns that influence how you relate to each other. By fostering greater self-awareness, safety, and empathy, you'll learn practical tools to navigate challenges, reconnect with one another, and build a relationship that feels more secure, authentic, and fulfilling.

Clinical Approaches

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, heard, and understood. I draw from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Based Focused Therapy (SBFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

A little about me…

I take self care seriously. I love to travel, eat great food, and spend time with family and friends. I also love everything about the 80's. Surprisingly, I used to be a security guard for years
