“Joanne has first and foremost, been a friend to me. What stands out about Joanne as a therapist is the professionalism, care, and gentleness that she gives. I never felt judged, pried at, or pushed towards a feeling or opinion. She respected my intelligence and where my life took me, and worked with me regardless of condition. Joanne is a wonderful human being, and I cannot recommend her enough as a professional or a friend.”

I was very apprehensive about my first session with Joanne, but I felt an immediate connection with her once we met. Her nature is very gentle and kind and you can see she feels genuine compassion for her clients. She is extremely understanding and not at all judgmental and this makes it so easy to open up to her with real honesty. I now look forward to my time with her like I would if I were spending time with a good friend. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and I feel so lucky that our paths crossed.”

“I’ve been seeing Joanne for 5 months now and I’ve been to therapy before. I can see such a dramatic change in my life and my relationships with everyone around me. Joanne’s methods and care plans fit my needs dead on. I would recommend Joanne to anyone who’s having difficulty navigating through this journey called life no matter what your situation may be. I can’t tell you enough how blessed I am to have found her.”

“After years and years of struggling with everyday stresses, challenging relationships, and a lack of control over my emotions, I finally recognized I needed professional help to deal with my issues. Immediately after reading Joanne’s description on her webpage, I knew she could help me. She did not disappoint! Her comfortable and calming presence allowed me to open up to her immediately which I thought would be very difficult being that I am an extremely private person. Joanne has helped me mend strained relationships with my mom and husband by teaching me to become more communicative. This allowed me to manage what was considered explosive behavior when I became angry or depressed. Once I was able to become level headed, my efforts were reciprocated leaving an opening to repair damaged relationships. The skills Joanne has taught me have not only aided the repair of my relationships but they have also helped me manage everyday stresses that caused severe anxiety. Although it takes time and continuous effort to keep myself mentally stable, I know that with Joanne’s guidance I will be able to maintain the positive place that I have worked so hard to get to.”

“I have done therapy various times throughout my life starting at about 18 years of age. Life can really hit us with some much unexpected events. On Father’s day of 06/15/2014, my wife and I lost our daughter to a drunk driver. I can only say that such a traumatic event had incredible repercussions, not just as with the specific loss, but reverberated with respect to things all throughout my life. While I won’t get into any specifics here, I can only say that at the age of 61, I could not have had a better therapist; Joanne’s compassion, empathy, and desire to really want to listen is beyond words. I don’t think I would have been able to put myself back together without her steering the ship. If you plan to start seeing Joanne and would like to know more about why she is so incredibly good, I would be happy to have her give you my contact information. You won’t be disappointed having this woman as your therapist!”

“I was having real issues after moving to Texas from my home of over 60 years. I began shutting myself off from people. I reached out for help and was blessed enough to find Joanne. She helped me adjust to retirement and find a foundation to build a new, happier life. She took the time to understand my problems, especially my chronic pain due to fibromyalgia (many counselors in the past have not). She is encouraging and kind.”
