Joanne supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, sleep difficulties, bipolar disorder, and the stresses of professional life. She also offers coaching for executives and professionals, assisting with high stress, work-life balance, and career transitions. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, codependency, family and relationship struggles, chronic pain or illness, and fertility-related stress.

Joanne aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can explore their experience, build understanding, and move toward clearer goals and meaningful change. She encourages those ready to seek support to reach out and begin a collaborative path toward healing and practical progress.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit for You?

Many people wonder whether working with a therapist remotely can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions, making it a viable option for many seeking support.



One of the main benefits of remote therapy is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that fits their life and comfort level - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to maintain consistency and integrate therapy into a busy schedule.



Licensed professionals offer these remote services, and if a different therapeutic fit is needed, clients can change therapists as they see fit. For those weighing whether to try online therapy, the format often provides a practical, accessible route to ongoing support and personal growth.
