Speaking from the Heart
Joanne loves working with couples. It is a joy to watch as individuals learn to listen deeply and empathetically to their partner.
Guiding couples to take responsibility for their feelings and needs without blaming and criticizing, brings great satisfaction as well. Joanne helps couples create a safe place to honestly express truth and to clarify what they want and need in their relationship.
Speaking from the heart rather than the head enables couples to transform stumbling blocks into opportunities for connection. This knowledge turns judgments into understanding and provides the ability to express needs in a non–threatening way. This type of communication requires practice, courage, and commitment, but the deep emotional connection it creates will enrich lives for a lifetime!
