“When I entered family therapy with Jo, I was skeptical. While I knew that my daughter and I had some communication issues to work out, I didn't think that family therapy would help. Turns out, I was wrong. Jo is extraordinarily insightful, and was able to cut through the baloney and get to the heart of the matter. Jo is like a compassionate laser, if that were a thing. Jo would explain how my daughter and I were triggering each other (because we truly couldn't see it ourselves) and how to shift the difficult conversations into friction-free discussions. Jo gave us 100% of their attention and brain power to help us get to a place of consistently healthy dialogue. In a word, Jo is magical.” - Former Client

“I went to see Jo to help with communication between my mom and me. Jo was fantastic throughout the process. Jo was a great listener and very insightful, able to see where communication between my mom and me had broken down and help us come up with ways for us to open up to each other without triggering each other. It's been almost two years since then, and I still use the communication tools that Jo taught me and my relationship with my mom is fantastic. Thanks, Jo!” - Former Client

“Jo helped my wife and I through a huge turning point in our relationship. We started out feeling very insecure and unsure about the strength of our relationship, but Jo helped us see the strength we already had, and built on it. Jo was incredibly caring, comforting, and encouraging. I felt like we all built a bond, and over time, our sessions became one of the things we looked forward to most every week. I really appreciated how Jo made sure to hold time and space for both of us, so we never felt ignored or left out. We also gained a more comprehensive view on how our past and external stresses affected our relationship. Now, we are stronger and more confident than ever. Jo is a rockstar!” - Former Client

“Jo. What can I say about Jo? My husband and I started seeing Jo because we wanted to open up our marriage, and knew we needed guidance in setting up ground rules, as we both had zero experience in poly relationships. Jo came recommended to me by personal therapist and, when I tell you the universe will bring you the people you need when you need them most, Jo coming into our relationship, into our home (video sessions, woooo!), and into our world, was proof.  We saw Jo weekly for under 2 years, and in that time, Jo helped us overcome so many issues that came up, both as a couple and as individuals. Jo supported me through the death of my father, the loss of lifelong friendships, and workplace drama. Because of Jo, my husband and I are now aware of so many similarities between us, our childhoods, and how we view the world. Working with Jo definitely made our marriage stronger, and we learned things about each other that we never knew. During our sessions, Jo assessed my moods, and Jo suggested that they thought I had PMDD, a condition where my menstrual cycle causes my depression symptoms to go into overdrive, and I become suicidal once a month. Every month. Since I was 12. Just being aware that this condition exists now, and Jo putting all the puzzle pieces together, I was diagnosed. I realized the solution was simply adding an extra 5 mg to my SSRI, and I have been suicide thought free for about one year now. Absolutely life changing. Couldn't have done it with anyone other than Jo.” - Former Client

“Jo is the most incredible therapist!! My wife and I came to Jo for support after my dad passed. They gave us tools to help support each other, improve our communication, and “turn towards each other” (a favorite catch phrase). Jo redirects with kindness and makes everyone feel heard. My wife and I discovered things about each other and ourselves that we didn’t even know were affecting our relationship. I am forever grateful that we found Jo!” - Former Client

“My daughter and I were experiencing a complete breakdown in communication, and I was very concerned that we were beyond being able to repair it. However, I suggested to my daughter that we try family therapy as a last ditch effort and they agreed to find a therapist that might be able to help us. About a year ago, we started family therapy with Jo, who was simply amazing in their ability to get us to ‘listen’ to each other, so that we really heard what the other person was saying. Jo provided us with the Active Listening skills worksheet, and we worked on asking the right questions, and then summarizing what the other person said. It was an invaluable resource. Jo was never judgmental and really tried to understand both sides of the story and helped us to realize that we are very different personalities but, when we listen with an open mind, we actually can communicate quite well! I highly recommend Jo as a family therapist. My relationship with my daughter has improved 100% and it is because we chose Jo to help us get through some difficult times.” - Former Client
