We all want intimacy and intimacy is a risky endeavor. Navigating risk in relationship shakes us to the core and can be made more complicated by the reactions of our loved ones. In therapy we’ll pay attention to the treasure trove of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that occur as we risk growth and connection with others. We’ll pay attention to being good recipients of our loved ones efforts to grow and connect. And we’ll find strategies to remain grounded in slow steady progress towards a fulfilled and powerful self. Counseling will be challenging and raw and fun and I promise to bring my full self to session

Hello, my name is Joy, and I’m so glad you’re taking that first difficult step and considering therapy. My clients come to me for a lot of reasons, but most of them are feeling stuck. I believe we all have those times when moving forward toward healing is scary, or almost too difficult, or we don’t even know what moving forward means for us. Therapy can truly help. I help people with a variety of concerns, including anxiety, grief and loss, past trauma that won’t let go, and more.

My empathetic approach meets the individual where they are, to explore their concerns without shame, guilt, or judgment. Everyone faces challenges and difficult times in their life.

We respond and interact with others based on our defined relationship with ourselves and our experiences. My goal is to create a safe environment, to cultivate an authentic relationship with yourself. We will work together to develop attainable treatment goals based on your needs and wants.

I am a seasoned pain and medical psychologist with an extensive career in chronic pain , health management and psychopharmacology. I work closely with other referring medical providers and encourage the integration of self-management skills to bolster the effectiveness of the medical intervention. For the sake of better outcomes and achieving patient goals, it is best when the medical treatment and psychological treatment are introduced and monitored jointly. When psychological treatment is considered less important or secondary, coping and adjusting are delayed if not completely compromised.
