We had a great relationship but wanted to improve our communication and make our marriage even stronger. We’d both been married before and wanted to make sure we didn’t make the same mistakes. There were no obstacles that prevented our working with Joanna. My husband had worked with her before and benefitted greatly from her counseling. You should know Joanna is a deeply compassionate and acutely insightful counselor. She was able to work with us in a way that helped us understand ourselves and each other on a much deeper level. And she gave us the tools that we can use to continue to understand each other and communicate in a way that is very effective. We hardly ever have fights anymore and we are able to discuss our feelings and any issues that come our way that is constructive, supportive and creative. We are so grateful for her help and that we can check in with her as needed. We have a great relationship and are very grateful for our life together and we’re able to face any challenges in a spirit of collaboration. Thanks Joanna with helping us develop the tools to do so. We love our peaceful, fun and loving relationship and that we have each grown as individuals and in our relationship together. Joanna is wonderful and we love working with her. - Nathan and Daria

Dear Joanna, It would be impossible to express how profoundly transformative our experience with you was. Though we came to you as a couple with a few problems to address, you took us far beyond mere repair to new depths of joy and intimacy in our relationship. Your unique blend of widely divergent disciplines and perspectives, combined with your very natural warmth and insightfulness created a safe, healing and productive space for us every week (even on occasion over the phone). As we go through the many chapters of our life together, we’ll continue to think of you with great fondness and gratitude. Lots of love. - E & J

In a nutshell, we ♥ Joanna and can’t recommend her enough! Before Joanna, we had spent time on our own trying to dissect difficulties in our relationship. Then, 4 months after we got married, our best friends got divorced and we saw other friends struggling in their relationships. We agreed it was critical to make time and space for building strength in our relationship and prevent what we saw happening with our friends from happening to us. After we started working with Joanna, it wasn’t very long before she had shown us an even deeper level our relationship that we didn’t even know was there. It was really hard work and it was, ultimately, very empowering and very rewarding. She drew us toward our most intimate fears, and then gave us a safe place to confront them. She was graceful at addressing each of us as individuals and us as a couple. Joanna gave us insights and tools that allowed us to work at that level with her and on our own. We are so happy to have taken the time to invest in our relationship and we feel so lucky to have had Joanna as our mentor and guide. Every day we utilize the skills that she taught us. We feel very strong, happy and fulfilled in our relationship because of our time with Joanna. - P & P
