SPEAKER • AUTHOR • PARENT COACH
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, speaker, and writer with 20+ years of experience supporting individuals, parents, and families navigating stress, illness, caregiving, and major life transitions. Joni’s work focuses on helping people stay grounded and connected during demanding seasons—before overwhelm turns into crisis.
Drawing on deep clinical training and lived experience, she translates emotional insight into practical tools that support steadier communication, clearer boundaries, and sustainable care for both self and others. Her approach is compassionate, realistic, and designed to work in the middle of real life, not just in theory.
With a professional background spanning pediatric healthcare, higher education, and community-based settings, Joni brings a grounded, systems-aware perspective to emotional wellbeing. Her work is trusted by families, healthcare organizations, and workplaces seeking human-centered, preventive support for people under sustained pressure.
Much of her current work focuses on supporting parents balancing caregiving responsibilities while raising children.
