I’ve been working with my therapist for a couple of weeks now. Overall it’s been very positive experience. Joanne creates a calm and supportive environment where I feel comfortable about opening up.

As soon as Joanne started speaking, I knew I would be able to talk to her. She has a lovely manner and good insight as well as following up with relevant literature. She’s empathetic, understanding and you feel as though she’s on your side.
