Hi there, I'm Joseph!

I am a holistic and integrative therapist and his core principles are compassion, collaboration, and transparency. I have extensive experience in counseling individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, work/life balance stressors, life transitions, substance use, and other areas.

My focus

With a client-centered approach, Joseph specializes in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, professionals, and those living with anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and autism.

My approach

I believe therapy should be accessible, practical, and affirming. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, burnout, or emotional distress, I am here to help you build clarity and resilience.
