Through passion and sheer joy of seeing women recover, Joanne has successfully managed 4 Sober Living Houses, watching hundreds of women come through and succeed.
Joanne has a college counseling certificate in drug and alcohol recovery. She maintains her job as a Drug and Alcohol Counselor, and intake specialist at the Thelma McMillan Center in Torrance. She is also a volunteer at Torrance Memorial Medical Center Chemical Dependency Program.
Someone in the community, who Joanne had helped in their recovery, suggested that Joanne open up her own home. With a lot of love, volunteers and people who supported Joanne’s dream she opened House of Miracles in May of 2004.
Joanne has worked hard with a Board of Directors to establish and maintain two sober living homes.
Joanne represents the Recovery community by attending Recovery conventions and symposiums annually. This allows a constant flow of patients to Thelma McMillen Center. It is also a stepping stone to a life of sobriety. She gently guides some of the Women into a continued way of sober living by introducing them to House of Miracles.
She has developed strong relationships with other South Bay Recovery homes.
