Joanne has made my experience very pleasant. I look forward to meeting with her weekly, she truly listens and cares about my experiences. Joanne also helps me to look at things from a different perspective and gives me helpful advice. I have been quite pleased with my experience and would highly recommend her. It is also a plus that we have similar beliefs in our faith.

Listens very well and works with you to help you try to have a deeper understanding. She helps you try to acknowledge and fix various types of issues and dig deeper to the root of problems, the cause and effect.
