VERIFIED PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Hi there, I'm Joan!

I am committed to helping others gain an understanding and acceptance of themselves, realize their full potential, and achieve their goals. I specialize in treating individuals, couples, women, and parenting.

My focus

I work with women of all ages, men, and couples. I am very comfortable treating women in all stages of their lives.

My approach

I work psychodynamically, exploring past history and object relations where the relationship is the focus. I am qualified to work with a wide range of issues for women, including life transitions, menopause, aging, loss and grief, and developing self-esteem.
