Hi there, I'm Joy!

Therapy with me is a place of safety, in which you are supported to explore and heal the deeper roots of your mental health concerns.

My focus

I have expertise in supporting clients in the LGBTQIA+ community, including those in the process of transitioning. My other areas of expertise include high-risk mental health concerns (i.e., SH/SI, psychosis, mania, EDs), PTSD, and DID. I'm always excited to work with clients who have an interest in parts work, shadow work & inner child work.

My approach

I am caring and non-judgmental. I accept and welcome all aspects of you, guiding you in bringing kindness and healing to yourself. I generally use a Somatic Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach and integrate techniques from a wide variety of other models.

My communication style

I am very compassionate and open, but I am not shy to be straightforward and to provide guidance. I have a collaborative approach and want to facilitate your inner wisdom to surface, in addition to providing my own input.

My journey to mental healthcare

I feel very fortunate to have ended up in a profession that is such a perfect match for myself. When I was exploring my career options in undergrad, many of my college friends encouraged me to consider counseling because they appreciated my natural interpersonal qualities that make me a good therapist, such as being approachable and supportive.

My goals for you

I believe that setting short-term objectives in between sessions is a key part of the personal transformation and healing process.

Our first session

Our first session together will involve me asking a lot of questions about your mental health concerns and background, but you are welcome to ask any questions of me and let me know if you're not ready to talk about certain topics right away.
