About JoDee
Her background includes work in schools and behavioral health across Illinois, Iowa, and Washington. That work involved children, youth, parents and caregivers, adults with chronic mental illness, and college students. From that range of settings she learned to tailor help to different ages and life stages.
JoDee favors focused, short-term, problem-solving methods. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing to build skills and momentum. Mindfulness approaches are also part of her toolbox when slowing down and grounding are useful.
She pays attention to context. JoDee recognizes how sexism, racism, heterosexism, classism, and other social factors can shape problems. She aims to work respectfully and compassionately, and she collaborates with each person to shape goals and steps that fit their life.
JoDee often helps people with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, relationship and family issues, workplace strain, and caregiver stress. If you want practical tools and a plan for moving forward, she can help walk you through the process.
