Joan was a wonderful fit for me as a young woman dealing with trauma and learning to have compassion for myself. My work with her was one of the most important things Ive ever done in the service of my own growth and happiness. Its been over 20 years since I have seen her, and I am now a therapist myself. I often find myself sharing Joans wisdom with clients of mine today. She helped me build a strong foundation upon which to grow into a confident, self-loving woman. Thanks Joan

Have worked with Joan for many years now. She is always professional and very pleasant to interact with. If you live in the Bay area and are seeking a spiritual counseling that is informed by Buddhist & Taoist heart-wisdom and mindfulness, be sure to contact Joan.

Probably the worst therapist Ive ever seen. Dont see her if you identify as queer or have relationship issues. On her Psychology Today profile says that shes equipped of seeing gay, straight, lesbian people/ people with relationship issues, she is clearly NOT. She also laughed at most of the things I said, I feel that she didnt take me seriously at all. She writes everything down in a notebook, she has no laptop. She has no program or receptionist that handles her bookings/insurance billings, which I THINK is pretty unprofessional. Im not even sure if she quoted me correctly for what I paid. Dont waste your time or your money.
