MS, LPC
Living in today's world is a challenge. Uncertainty in our lives about our relationships, careers, health and stage of life issues can have a negative impact on our quality of life.
Do you find yourself with:
- feelings of being overwhelmed?
- difficulty with decision making
- feeling unsafe?
- Being over responsible for the well being of others?
- Striving for perfection?
These can lead to anxiety, low mood, sleep disturbance, self doubt and not functioning at your optimal potential.
How I work with my clients: My mission, over the past 40 years, has been to meet you where you are. To understand your challenges as well as discover your strengths. I teach thinking and behavior skills which have been clinically proven to be effective in managing symptoms of depression and anxiety. These techniques can also manage the damage a traumatic event causes to our nervous system so that we can live our life fully in the present.

Jo's clients have always been lucky enough to experience her dog(s) in her years with our practice. Here, we have Storm, Jo's late Pit-Mix (Storm was loved by all), and Skypilot, her latest rescue. Jo follows the belief that "we could all use a little rescuing," just like her pups. <3
