Hi. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in WI, and have been a therapist since 2007, when I earned my Master's Degree in Community Counseling from Mount Mary University. I have experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns including grief and loss, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, work/life balance, women's issues, and life changes. I've also helped many people who have experienced trauma or abuse.
My counseling style is warm, genuine and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My person-centered approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness and solution focused counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to look into counseling, congrats on taking a huge step toward a more fulfilling and happy life. If you are ready, I'm here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Jo Ann is truly amazing. I had never done any type of therapy before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect or how things would go, but Jo Ann was professional, kind, patient, understanding, and listened to everything I had to say. She helped me work through my thoughts, feelings, and struggles from one of the toughest times in my life. Right from the start I knew she was in my corner and I was completely at ease when talking with her. She provided me with many different ways to handle things going on in my life and helped me with different ways to think about things and changed my perspective. I cannot express my gratitude enough for everything she has done to help me.

It is so easy to feel comfortable with JoAnn. She listens well, reflects back accurately, and adds a perspective that is respectful and worth reflecting on. She is also very dog-friendly, which is important, as my dog always is with me during my online sessions!

This is my first experience with therapy, and I wasn't sure what to expect. My therapist made me feel comfortable, and was very attentive and engaged in sessions. In each session she gave me "homework" or things to try that week. Her suggestions worked, and I started feeling some creative energy returning.

I've been working with Jo Ann for going on 2 years now. She has been instrumental in helping work through a very complicated childhood including sexual abuse. She is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and really listens with an empathetic heart. She has taught me many ways to help manage my emotions as they resurface and I move through the agony I endured as a child. Thank you Jo Ann for all you do for me, and thank you Betterhelp for providing this platform!

Jo Ann is very compassionate in her approach. I have only had a few sessions with her so I don’t feel that we have gotten to know each other well enough to further comment. I am enjoying our sessions so far.

Written on Nov 12, 2021 after therapy with Jo Ann for 2 weeks on issues concerning lgbt, relationship issues, self esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes
Being a parent is HARD, and Jo Ann gets it. She is caring, empathetic, and someone I feel comfortable sharing with. I don’t feel like I have to put on a show of being “okay”; I can be real with her, which is not something I felt with other therapists I’ve seen. In our first session, she addressed my failure to benefit from therapy in the past, and told me she was determined to change that. I can assure you that she has, and I am really glad I gave therapy one more chance.
Written on Nov 09, 2021 after therapy with Jo Ann for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting issues, and adhd
Jo Ann is very patient, supportive, and respectful. She always knows when I am in the middle of my thoughts, and take great care to allow me to finish my thought process and finish speaking, which is immensely helpful as I do not feel the need to rush through my thought process. During my difficult period, she has been very encouraging and a pillar of support for me.
Written on Nov 07, 2021 after therapy with Jo Ann for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and adhd
Jo Ann is very intuitive and is able to quickly see what direction to lead for better healing. It didn't take long for me to feel very comfortable sharing my needs with her and her advice has been spot on. I appreciate that she is able to get out "in the weeds" in order to see the point and bring it back to the heart of the matter. Thank you Jo Ann!
