"Joanne is a phenomenal human and wonderful therapist that cares deeply for her clients. I didn’t enjoy therapy much before I started my sessions with her and I’m always amazed at her wisdom and patience whenever we speak. When I first reached out to Joanne, I was having multiple panic attacks a day. Now, a year and some change later, I feel level headed and a general sense of calm. She’s helped me do a complete 180 in my way of thinking and the way I carry myself. I would recommend her time and time again for anyone who is looking into holistic therapy or spiritual guidance."

“I sought out the help from Joanne back in 2001 after my husband suddenly died of a heart attack at the age of 30. say the hardest part was making the call. Joanne was referred to me by my best friend.
I made the call to set up the appointment not knowing what I was going to say or do in the session. I arrived at her office and we sat in a small office room with the window open, and I instantly knew this is the woman that will walk with me during this process.
I discovered that working together was easy, but the grief work itself is not always easy. I love that Joanne meets you were you are in your life at any given time and honors it. She always reminds me of my own strength and wisdom. She is been a light in my life in the darkest days and has shown me the path to shine my light.
So much love.”
