I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has a belief system that you can do it. I believe in different therapies for different clients. My goal as a therapist is to listen to you, discover what the issues are and together create a treatment plan. You talk to me about what are those issues that you would like to work on. Depression, stress, low self-esteem, and etc. Together we set goals and together we decide on objectives in order to achieve those goals.
I love working with clients who are in need of skills to improve their lives. These same skills that I will share with you can be used through-out your lifespan.

My experience with Joan was lovely. She listened carefully and helped me deconstruct and address my issues in systematic manner, which is what I needed. Somebody to help me break down my chaotic though pattern.
