LPC, 15 years of experience
Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Georgia. I received my Masters in clinical counselor from Argosy University in 2015. I have 10 plus years working with adults, couples and family members in various settings. I am comfortable working with diverse group of individuals struggling with navigating life's daily ups and downs, along with finding hope for tomorrow as they attempt to maintain mental health wellness. I am a HOPE dealer for those who feel lost and hopeless in their storm.
From your very first encounter with me you will quickly learn how much you matter. I believe in providing a safe space where clients can share their challenges without any judgement. Expectations are made clear and easy from our very first session together. Building rapport is as important to the therapeutic relationship as it is to completing intake forms and assessment tools as we dive into specific challenges you're facing.
I am a Hope dealer. It is my passion to be an agent of change for those struggling to hold on to their HOPE. The mind is a complex place, full of layers where we process our world, our relations, and our identity. It takes the bold and the brave to be willing to face the shadows and storms of life. I am open, honest and compassionate with all that I meet. I believe in one's ability to create a world of peace and mental stability in every endeavor in life.
I love working with individuals, family and couples who are committed to improving their own mental health wellbeing. I encourage clients to explore, engage and transform their lives inside out. If you are struggling to hold on to hope in a world that seems to actively throw you curve balls and you find yourself full of despair then you need to meet a agent of change who focuses on providing Hope for a better tomorrow.

We've finished our first couples session with Jo-Ann and she was absolutely awesome. She's already challenging us. A she catches everything. She listens with her eyes and ears making us feel heard and understood.
