About

Hi! I’m Jo — a Washington, DC based mental health and school counselor, music therapist, and children's book author. I support children, adolescents, adults, and families as they work toward growth, symptom relief, and deeper self-understanding. 

I believe that healing — though often challenging — is also beautiful, meaningful, and possible. At the heart of my work is a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. My approach is grounded in curiosity, creativity, and deep respect for each client’s lived experience.

I hold a deep commitment to social justice and believe that high-quality, affirming therapy should be accessible to all. My practice takes into account how systemic oppression affects an individual and family's ability to access resources and reach their potential. To help reduce financial barriers, I offer a sliding scale and pay-what-you-can program. 

I practice under the clinical supervision of Sammi Rosenfeld, NCC, LPC (DC), LCPC (MD), MSEd, CCTP.
