Most of us do the best we can with the resources we have. Sometimes we think no one understands our worries & fears. If open to it, we want to work with a therapist when our usual ways of relating aren't helping & we feel stuck, anxious, angry or depressed. Therapy often helps provide insight into our strengths & internal resources we already have to help navigate challenging times. In sessions, I focus on working with clients to unlock this strength to steer their lives in the direction they want. I bring curiosity, warmth, respect, & empathy to my sessions.

Life’s challenges can often trigger complex emotions. Despite our best coping mechanisms, it can be overwhelming to understand what we are feeling and why. In therapy, I have a collaborative approach where I believe that you are the expert of your own experiences. Acting as a mirror, I provide a safe space where you can reflect upon your thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns. Through this process, my goal is to increase your self-compassion, resilience, and self-awareness so you can tap into your innate strengths and wisdom.

Joey specializes in sexual health for couples and individuals, an area she became more interested in midway through her career, when the limitation in sexual health competence in the field of general mental health work, especially for couples, troubled her. She thus decided to pursue training and hone her skills. It soon became a passion and a calling, and she has turned her focus since in understanding the various intersections of sexuality with culture, race, religion, gender, disability, age, and of course, sexual orientation. She respects and draws from both the traditional and the contemporary clinical models in her work.
