Aloha, my name is Joy and I work with clients who are looking for ways to feel more emotionally balanced, healthy, and full of life. Clients report that they find great relief in our work together, and that they learn to become more kind, loving and happy with themselves.

Aloha! Seeking help for struggles can be difficult. Just know that you have made the most important step in creating your life the way you want it. Life can present many challenges; with the right support these can be incredible opportunities to grow. Starting therapy is the beginning of a journey to find a more connected and fulfilling relationship to ourselves, others and the world we live in. Each of us, deep down, hold our own answers to the issues we face. Sometimes we need an objective listener to ask new questions, suggest new skills, be supportive and coach us through tough times.

I believe most people want the same things deep down. We want to feel safe, loved, understood, and fulfilled. Unfortunately, many of us have gone without these most basic needs. While we have found ways to survive, we are left with painful scars and wanting more. I believe 'more' is your right. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, mindful space dedicated to you. I believe we all know what is best for ourselves; my goal is not to tell you what that is but rather to empower and support you along the way.
