JoAnn is one of my favorite therapists I’ve ever had. She is a great listener, wise and I can tell she is there to fight in my corner. She has a very big heart for her clients. I walk away feeling truly supported and more equipped after my appointments with her. I would highly recommend her!

JoAnn is very patient and attentive. She offers suggestions to help me and my husband deal with issues regarding our three adult children. She focuses on our needs as well, and has been available whenever we scheduled a session.
