Hello!
My name is Joann Shere.
Nobody, as long as they move about in the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble.
-Carl Jung
I’ve seen people struggle with their internal self to resolve conflict, stress and pressure in their external world. It can be quite a battle. You might find yourself thinking you want some understanding and the perspective of a trained psychotherapist.
I’m non-judgmental, a good listener and verbally responsive with my clients.
​
In therapy, I’ve seen the best of people during a time they may have been feeling their worst. Should you be feeling low, anxious or simply not at your best, I hope that you would consider giving me a call.
My practice is limited to individual therapy with clients 65 or older.
