Do you struggle knowing what you want? How you feel? Who you are? Do you have racing thoughts? Guilt and shame that steal your joy and peace? Do you feel like there are parts of you, at war within yourself, that aren't well integrated? Have you compulsively pleased others for so long that you no longer feel connected to your authentic self? Do you lack a sense of belonging, connectedness, and purpose? Do healthy relationships seem elusive? Impossible?

Is your teenager talking about things like wanting to harm themselves or end their life? Is your teenager demonstrating signs of depression or unmanageable anxiety and you don’t know how to help? As a parent who loves their child deeply, I can only imagine how hard it is to watch your child go through this. As we hit the two year mark of the COVID-19 pandemic, I find that the pressures placed on teenagers in today’s environment are overwhelming. Teenagers have experienced so much loss in the past two years that has stripped away many of their normal coping skills due to circumstances outside of our control.

Life is hard. We all find times in our lives when it just feels like too much. Expectations and pressures weighing on us; fears and self-doubt keeping us immobilized; uncertainty about the future and regrets from the past making it difficult to enjoy anything in the here and now. Therapy isn’t just about looking at childhood experiences and discovering “why” we do what we do. It’s also about how to move forward: what do we unpack, unload, discard, or take with us? I can’t make life easy for you, but I can help guide you and walk with you in support of your journey to figure out how to lighten the load.

It has been my passion to help people improve their health and well being for over 30 years. I started my career as a Dietitian/Nutritionist, helping people improve their health through nutrition counseling and behavior change. I soon discovered that it takes more than knowledge and good intention to change long held habits, beliefs and behaviors. Childhood trauma, poor self esteem, unhealthy attachments, faulty thinking and dysfunctional relationships all impact our ability to value ourselves and to live a healthy and fullfilling life. I became a psychotherapist to more fully address the whole person - heart, mind and body.

Trauma and unwanted memories can leave us in a state of chaos and confusion. These memories often replay in our minds making us feel trapped, and cut off from the world. When anxiety hits, our bodies can become a prison. Unable to breathe or focus, one can feel: helpless, embarrassed, ashamed, and even confused. Fortunately, you no longer need to feel overwhelmed or alone on this journey. With my strength based approach, you can connect to your power, find your truth and reclaim your life. Yes, it is possible. Our work will build on your natural abilities, life experience and inner strength.

Hi, this is Joy! Feeling stuck and caught in a cycle of insanity? Or, are you feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or insecure with your current "self?” Sometimes, we get caught in life's chaos and it is completely possible to feel lost. As a client-centered therapist, I provide an individualized, integrative approach because I believe we are all unique and the support you may need is not the same as for the other. Feeling the desire for change could spark your journey of "something else” to give therapy a try!

Sometimes life can be difficult and we can get stuck in ways that keep us from achieving our full potential. Many people stay too long in a place of unhappiness and despair. If you are anxious, depressed, grieving, have difficulties at work, have been thru a traumatic experience or just feel stuck and hopeless, you need someone to understand you and provide the professional support and expertise to help you feel good again. I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals, children and families of various backgrounds.

Are you finding it difficult to move forward in your life? Does it feel like whatever you try to fix the problem isn't working? Are you struggling with connecting to those you care about? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need someone to walk alongside you in this process? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made a good choice by deciding to reach out for help. Whether you are struggling with conflict in intimate relationships, grief, a life transition or seeking healing from trauma, it is important that you know you don't have to be alone in this journey.

Dealing with disconnection from your partner, uncertainty + conflict in relationships, the emotional and mental stressors of your career, burnout, chronic stress and raising a family can take its toll. All of these challenges can lead to withdrawal, sleep disturbance, depression, conflict, anxiety, relying on problematic ways of coping and even health problems. The responsibilities of your career, your family, and your social life are difficult enough to juggle, so it makes sense that your emotional and mental health take the back burner -until there’s a crisis in your life. You can learn to navigate without suffering through.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
