Re-Claim Your Peace
There are so many thoughts that, when believed, will take you far away from peace. Thoughts like:
"My loved one's future is limited, destroyed".
"I will never be happy until they're better."
"I did something wrong. I failed."
What you think and believe has a direct impact on how you see the world, your life, and relationships. That stress can also present an opportunity to transform how you perceive any and all circumstances by questioning your thoughts and tapping into your own inner wisdom so that it guides you to the kind of truth that sets you free, where the old beliefs let go of you.
This happens with a simple and profound process called The Work of Byron Katie. Since 2010, it's been a direct path to clarity, peace, and the aligned choices that sustain my well-being. I used to think and feel like a victim of life, my loved one's addiction, of depression, cancer, relationship conflict. With The Work as a powerful go-to in my healing treasure box, I know how to get un-stuck and come back to life and love. And it works! Doing the Work has brought me peace through the most stressful circumstances, calming any and all thoughts, and I've seen it happen for hundreds more.
Healing is very possible and it happens when you no longer avoid painful thoughts and emotions. This is where deep healing truly begins. This is where The Work can support your healing.
When doing The Work, some benefits can include:
- a greater sense of inner peace
- being less reactive and more responsive
- improved communication
- improved relationships
- less tension in your body
- more resilience to meet life's circumstances as they are
- more compassion
- more gratitude
- more acceptance
- less intensity and frequency of conflict
- more energy
Stay connected to yourself and your heart, no mater what life brings.

"The Work is a way to end confusion and experience inner peace, even in a world of apparent chaos."
“The power of The Work is not in eliminating thoughts. Its power lies in the watching and investigation.
Notice thoughts, investigate them, and come to know for yourself that meeting them with understanding can be the end of internal war, which in turn is the end of all war.”
~ Byron Katie

Welcome, I'm Joanne
Hello to you, my fellow courageous family member. For over 20 years as a Licensed Therapist specializing in Family Recovery, I’ve helped hundreds of families go from just surviving their loved one's addiction to becoming the safe, peaceful, supportive family member their loved one needs and the one they want to be. Because I’ve walked this journey, I know how exhausting it can be, how family can replay every conversation, worry as their loved one slowly slips away, and feel guilty that they got angry or think they did something to make it worse. I help families relieve the many fears that are part of this journey, restore connection, communicate to inspire, and bring calm to the chaos.
Fear is the number one contributing factor that causes so many preventable problems. That's why I'm passionate about supporting families through the hard stuff with expert coaching, meaningful discussion with real life application, with do-able skill building in a safe, supportive, and understanding space. Together, we make the hard easier. Love wins here!
Have questions?
How do I know it will work for me?
What is my time investment and how long does the program last?
How is coaching different from therapy?
How will this help my loved one?
What is The Work of Byron Katie?
A Path to Love is a community of family members loving someone through an addiction. In A Path to Love, we do The Work of Byron Katie, a process of questioning thoughts, finding your own inner wisdom, and letting that insight guide you to clarity, peace, and unconditional love.
This is a drop-in community. Deep healing and transformation can be experienced the more you attend and do The Work. Healing is a practice that benefits you and ripples into the world.
This is not therapy or crisis intervention. No online discussion should be used to replace therapy. If in crisis, please seek crisis intervention or 988 if you or another is having thoughts of suicide.
