About me

As a mother of two who has since graduated from raising my now two grown children, I am aware that teens go through the developmental stage of trust versus mistrust, and autonomy versus shame and doubt, according to Errickson. These are stages where some teen faces their most difficult challenges in life. They struggle to fit in with others, they struggle to survive bullying, peer pressure, anxiety, and depression. My role as your therapist is to help you navigate this seemingly difficult stage and help you to transition into adulthood successfully, physically and emotionally healthy.

Joan is wonderful! As a mama, I feel completely comfortable walking away and letting my teen daughter talk with her. I was unsure what to expect in the beginning as we have never done counseling before. I was raised in an environment where everything was kept in the family. The experiences and emotions that my daughter is experiencing are very different than what I have experience with. I am so beyond thankful that we found Joan.

Joan is very passionate and sincere on what she does. What I really like she talks to you like a honest friend. Sometimes I am a very direct person and need to hear things without being super coated. What I like and need is that she will tell me it that way. Sometimes we all don't like to hear the truth but need to .

She is very kind and can deal with a range of topics. And when she does challenge you in your way of thinking it does not feel confrontational, but rather that you two are working together to deal with an issue. She meets you where you are at, and provides practical tools to approach problems.

I had a few therapist before and have changed them rapidly because I was looking for certain qualities in a therapist. 1. Must genuinely care for people
2. Must feel like I’m talking to a mom/family who listens
3. It’s not just a job but it’s truly caring for persons well being.
I must say that Joan is all of what I needed and more, she listens, gives great advice and she shows that she cares. She makes you feel like family. She’s always prepared for sessions remembering where we leave off and that’s important to me. She’s assertive when needs be and she’s very aware of hidden issues that sometimes are difficult to express or articulate and she helps to navigate through those issues. Joan is understanding, supportive and professional and I’m so glad I matched with her and a therapist that prays for you is a plus!!
