Hi there, I'm Joel!

I bring warmth, authenticity, and evidence-based expertise to my therapeutic practice, helping adults and elderly individuals navigate depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

My focus

I work with adults and elderly individuals facing depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, stress, and those seeking personal growth and resilience.

My approach

My approach combines person-centered therapy with mindfulness-based counseling, meeting you exactly where you are. I use motivational interviewing, cognitive processing therapy, and mindfulness practices to help you develop practical tools for managing emotional and physical pain while working toward meaningful growth.

My communication style

I create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel genuinely heard and understood. Sessions are compassionate and solution-focused, empowering you to discover your inner strength.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey has been shaped by mentors, colleagues, and clients who have supported my growth. Helping others navigate their challenges is a privilege I don't take for granted. I'm committed to lifelong learning so I can continue making a positive impact.

My goals for you

Let's work together to create the meaningful transformation you're seeking. Your story matters, and I'm here to listen with compassion and support you in achieving your goals.

Our first session

Your first session includes introductions, a review of privacy and confidentiality, and a discussion about what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your goals, history, and support networks, then describe my approach and what future sessions will look like. You'll have time to ask questions about therapy.
