Therapy Services
I believe therapy is an opportunity to provide a safe place for individuals to break free of old ideas, patterns and wounds that are restricting their happiness and contentment. Therapy can be empowering by providing new ways for coping and dealing with life’s stressors.

About Jo-Ann
With more than 20 years of experience as a mental health counselor, I have strong clinical skills in a variety of mental health settings. I have specialized training and experience working with domestic violence survivors, mood disorders, grief/loss, trauma, substance abuse, and severe and persistent mental health issues.
I use a variety of clinical frameworks, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am continually learning new techniques and interventions to provide the most effective and efficient therapy possible. My current practice serves adults 18 years of age and older only.
Originally from Michigan, I completed my undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan-Dearborn. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan before relocating with family to Florida in 2003. I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the State of Florida since 2006.
