When survival becomes the focus of our childhood, we miss pertinent opportunities to develop life skills that are necessary for meaningful relationships and our own personal well-being. Joy considers counseling as an amazing opportunity to rediscover and learn new life skills so that we can embark on a journey of wellness and leave dysfunctional coping behind.

As a therapist that specializes in depression, anxiety, and trauma, I experience the most reward working with individuals that are seeking ways to heal and become empowered in their lives. I love the challenge of working with individuals that have not always had a good experience with therapy but are willing to try it again. I have extensive experience working with adolescents (both male and female) and like the perspectives that they bring to therapy. I also work with adult women and couples. I am currently managing a wait list at this time but would love to work with you in the near future!

Is your child struggling to cope with BIG feelings and behaviors? They may be facing challenges at school, academically, or engaging with teachers and peers. They may also be struggling at home, experiencing emotional outbursts or meltdowns, or having difficulty getting along with siblings and other family members. Your child may be expressing overwhelming sadness, worry, and stress, and you may be at a loss for how to support them. Seeing your child struggle in this way is hard for any parent to handle. I understand that all behaviors are communication and wants to help you make sense of what your child needs.

Trauma and difficult life experiences can change the way we perceive ourselves and the world. The effects of these experiences can sometimes leave us feeling out of control, frustrated, lost, and miserable. However, every person has the ability to change, grow, and heal. When we process through our experiences, we can develop a more accurate understanding of who we are—our inner strengths, resources, and needs, and our deeply held hopes for our lives. I'm here to help you grow toward your potential and experience healing and peace.

Reading the personal statements of counselors, as you are, already demonstrates strength, wisdom, and perseverance. It is not an easy thing to acknowledge that one would benefit from the insight, experience, or guidance of another. Everyone has a "too much," whether it makes sense to anyone else or not, and taking advantage of the experience and training of a counselor shows insight, courage, and a desire to improve your life and relationships. I work with adults, adolescents, children, and couples with a focus on anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship issues, and premarital counseling.

Seeking help from someone you have never met and discussing your most challenging life obstacles can be very uncomfortable and scary. However, at some point in our lives, searching for guidance and support outside of our friends and family may be needed in order to get you to your desired goal in life. Or maybe you are on the right path, but simply need validation and support. Whether your goals are decreasing anxiety, assisting with family conflict, or guidance with trauma, I can assist you with your desired outcome. I work with all ages from diverse backgrounds.

I help people who have survived painful life experiences to finally break free from the toxic residues of their pasts. My clients come to me locked within cycles of flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, addiction, regret, anger, and/or shame and also deal with chronic self-esteem problems. In some cases, they may even feel their identity has been shattered or they have a fragmented sense of who they now are. Clients leave treatment with me feeling empowered, resilient, healthy and whole. They have a new lease on life because what they have been through is reprocessed and becomes strengths and proof of how amazing they really are.

I would be honored to help you navigate current challenges in your life as well as past painful experiences. Current challenges might include life transitions, problem solving a difficult situation, or exploring new coping strategies. But sometimes, it is past painful memories that cause trouble in our lives. When difficult or traumatic experiences are left unaddressed our physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational health can be negatively affected. The extraordinarily good and hopeful news is that within each person is the ability for self-leadership and healing. Therapy just helps guide the journey.
