About me

I am a Licenses Professional Counselor and a Certified Anger Management Specialist who has been in the Behavioral Health field for over 19 years. I chose to pursue a career in the Behavioral Health Field as a result of my need for professional counseling during a challenging period in my own life. Because of the help I received, I decided to change my career path and become a part of the "Caring Profession".
My counseling style is personable and interactive. I believe in people's abilities to bring about positive change in their lives if provided with the right support and guidance at crucial intervals in their lives. Because I consider myself a Christian, using biblical principles in my counseling come natural. I enjoy helping people. As a Professional Therapist, I am afforded the opportunity to be a listening ear for individuals in need of nurturing, sympathy, empathy, and emotional support and guidance.
I have experience working with survivors of child abuse, trauma, domestic violence, divorce, family separation, and blended family conflicts.
Also experienced in:
Addictions , Relationship issues , Anger management , Self-esteem , Coping with life changes , Compassion fatigue , and Stress.
My approach to counseling includes the use of a variety of therapeutic modalities, based of the Client's needs and their capacity to engage in the treatment process. Some of these modalities includes, but is not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy, all of which I have utilized in providing treatment for the following challenges: Depression, Anxiety, Grief, ADHD, and Bi-Polar, Disorder. etc.

I look forward to utilizing my educational skills and years of experience to help bring about positive change in the lives of individuals I am privileged to serve.

Jo Ann has been very professional. She listens intently. She points out things that I haven't considered in the past. She give suggestions and forwards worksheets that have been helpful. It is definitely helping me with my anger management.

Mrs. Jo Ann has completely exceeded my expectations for my first time having a therapist in only just two sessions. She makes me feel heard and understood which is definitely something that I need in this current moment. At the end of every session all I can think about it how I can’t wait for our next one. I am truly grateful for her and I would most definitely recommend her to any one else seeking a therapist.
