Meet Dr. Joanne

My journey into the world of developmental disabilities began as mother which turned into a passion to help and support others who may be stepping into this world. As a mother of a child who was diagnosed with autism in 2013, I know how daunting it is to see your child not meeting developmental milestones as delays become more apparent.

​

Having the viewpoint of a parent as well as a professional, I want to help you, and your family start the beginning of your journey in the most supportive and compassionate manner possible.

​

I have been working in the field of behavioral health and mental health for a combined total of ten years. My experience includes working with both neurodivergent children as well as neurodivergent adults.

 

Whether you are a parent with concerns about your child, or an adult trying to understand and make sense of your difficulties in life through a diagnostic assessment, I am committed and dedicated to you to make this process to discovery as smooth as possible.
