Hello there. My name is Joan I have been a social worker for over 25 years. Like you, I have had my own set of challenges and believe the key to overcoming life's obstacles is learning to plan and cope. We can't control all the pain that will come our way, but we can control how we react to it.

I specialize in working with couples, families of divorce, clinicians suffering or recovering from addiction, victims of abuse and foster parents.

Of course, this is sometimes easier said than done and we need help. I would be honored to assist you in your journey towards a happier healthier you.

I was concerned about the idea of how difficult it might be to find another therapist after the one that I had for years decided that she was going to retire. Immediately in my first visit I was given all of the validation and care from Joan to empower me to help me feel confident in making a choice. The appointments that I have had have given me the opportunity to be heard fully.
