Hi. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in WI, and have been a therapist since 2007, when I earned my Master's Degree in Community Counseling from Mount Mary University. I have experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns including grief and loss, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, work/life balance, women's issues, and life changes. I've also helped many people who have experienced trauma or abuse.
My counseling style is warm, genuine and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My person-centered approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness and solution focused counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to look into counseling, congrats on taking a huge step toward a more fulfilling and happy life. If you are ready, I'm here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Joann is amazing, I couldn’t ask for anyone else and she is clearly on my page & has helped tremendously
Jo Ann has been my therapist for a couple of years now and she's changed my life for the better. Her therapy approach is very empathetic, professional and she demonstrates her expertise every time by providing me with the right tool I need in order to not just cope, but overcome the issues I'm encountering. I'd strongly recommend her as a therapist!
She is great. Easy to talk to and gives great advice.
Jo Ann is a very empathetic and professional therapist. She listens to me, understands me, and helps me understadn myself and those around me. With her help, I was able to go through some very tough moments in my life.
She has been so helpful!
Jo Ann is caring and compassionate. She is an incredible listener. She is always on time, always kind, and always knows how to help me. I'm greatful to have Jo Ann in my life.
She is down to earth & reminds me a bit of myself & great that I was paired with her
Jo Ann is one of the most empathetic people I've ever met. She knows exactly what to say and what to do during our therapy sessions. She's a good listener and she's helped me enormously to build up my confidence and work on my anxiety and depression. I highly recommend her!
Jo Ann is always kind and supportive. She validates my feelings and emotions while challenging me to see situations through a new perspective and work outside of my comfort zone. Jo Ann always creates a safe and comfortable space for me to work through my thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
Very good! She has helped me quickly focus on what is most distressing to me and we are working on strategies that I can use to work with the discomfort.
Jo Ann is everything one could ask for in a therapist: empathetic, good listener, with a lot of expertise in various personality disorders and CBT techniques, as well as compassion and honesty.
Jo Ann is a great therapist and has helped me tremendously. Everyone has seen the change in me.
Jo Ann is very compassionate in her approach. I have only had a few sessions with her so I don’t feel that we have gotten to know each other well enough to further comment. I am enjoying our sessions so far.
JoAnn is an incredible listener. She communicated clearly and helps me every single week.
She listens attentively and offers the right advice and takes the time to answer my questions and send me relevant succinct materials to read! Most importantly, she is nice and she cares! Would definitely recommend!
Jo Ann is an amazing therapist: an true empath, she feels our pain and our joy, she knows exactly what to say to make you reflect upon yourself and the situation, and she helps me see things from a healthier perspective than I usually do. Her calm and soothing voice make it so much better, and her curiosity about us as individuals make every therapy session a very interesting conversation! I definitely recommend Jo Ann as a therapist!
Jo Ann is great. She is calming and allows me to be fully vested in her treatment so that I want to continue to work on my goals.
JoAnne is kind, knowledgeable, and an amazing sounding board. JoAnne makes me feel heard and she gives me incredible advice. I feel very fortunate I get to speak with her each week.
She makes me really comfortable. She gives me useful tools that I can actually use and realistic goals for our next sessions
Jo Ann's sessions are intellectually stimulating, soul soothing, and she gives me right the tools to manage stressful situations, which is exactly what I need. I'd recommend her any time !
I’ve done therapy in the past, and sometimes you click and often you don’t. I felt comfortable with Jo Ann immediately and look forward to our weekly sessions. I’m thankful for Jo Ann and BetterHelp.
Jo Ann helps me think about aspects I never thought of or I would not have been able to think about without her reflectiveness. She is very thoughtful in her responses, is a very good listener and she makes you think about things in depth. She also has a very soothing and calm voice which is very helpful!
She has helped me though so many things and helped me process a lot of emotions. I have so much respect for her and she’s given me a lot of confidence.
She is amazing and very validating, a great listener!
Being a parent is HARD, and Jo Ann gets it. She is caring, empathetic, and someone I feel comfortable sharing with. I don’t feel like I have to put on a show of being “okay”; I can be real with her, which is not something I felt with other therapists I’ve seen. In our first session, she addressed my failure to benefit from therapy in the past, and told me she was determined to change that. I can assure you that she has, and I am really glad I gave therapy one more chance.
Jo Ann is very patient, supportive, and respectful. She always knows when I am in the middle of my thoughts, and take great care to allow me to finish my thought process and finish speaking, which is immensely helpful as I do not feel the need to rush through my thought process. During my difficult period, she has been very encouraging and a pillar of support for me.
Jo Ann is very intuitive and is able to quickly see what direction to lead for better healing. It didn't take long for me to feel very comfortable sharing my needs with her and her advice has been spot on. I appreciate that she is able to get out "in the weeds" in order to see the point and bring it back to the heart of the matter. Thank you Jo Ann!
