I work with teens, adults, and couples in a psychodynamic approach.

Joel has such an amazing understanding of relationships, how our past affects our relationships and how we can individually show up in these relationships to create an even safer & loving environment. I was nervous to see a couple’s therapist, but Joel has normalized this process so much for my partner and I, we have genuinely felt our relationship grow since seeing Joel. We’re so happy to share our life with him!
