About Joy

A safe place to be heard and understood.

Reaching out takes courage, and you do not have to figure everything out before you do. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with seven years of experience, I help adults and couples work through life’s challenges, from personal struggles and major life transitions to the lasting effects of significant trauma. I also have experience supporting teens.

Here, you will be heard without judgment. Our work will be shaped around you and what you need to feel safe and understood.

There is no single path to feeling better, so together we will find the approach that fits you. That may draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative, Person Centered or Trauma Focused care. If painful memories are weighing on you, Accelerated Resolution Therapy can help lighten their hold, often in just a few sessions.

My Approach

The right tools for you, not one size fits all.

Every person comes to therapy with a different story and different goals. I draw from several proven approaches and shape our work around what will help you most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Recognize unhelpful thought patterns and build practical skills to change how you feel and respond.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy

Focus on your strengths and what is already working, with clear steps toward the change you want.

Trauma Focused Therapy

A careful, paced approach to healing from difficult experiences while helping you feel safe and grounded.

Narrative Therapy

Step back from the story you have been telling about yourself and discover new ways to see your life.

Person Centered Therapy

A warm, accepting space where you lead the way and feel truly heard and understood.

Family & Marital Therapy

Improve communication, work through conflict and strengthen the relationships that matter most.

Specialized Certification

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

For clients working through trauma or painful memories, I am also certified in ART. It is a trauma therapy that works quickly and can help reduce the emotional impact of difficult experiences, typically in only two to three sessions. ART is one option we may explore together if it fits your needs.

  1. ConnectWe talk through what brought you here and whether ART is a good fit.
  2. ResolveWe work gently with difficult memories so they carry less emotional charge.
  3. Move ForwardWith the past holding less power, you can focus on the future you want.
