You may find yourself people-pleasing, withdrawing, overfunctioning, or longing for closeness, unsure how to truly let someone in. You may be experiencing anxiety that never settles, pain that lingers, or relationship patterns that keep repeating, no matter how hard you try to change them. These struggles aren't failures, but ways you learned to survive when connection felt uncertain, needs went unmet, or emotions felt too big to experience alone. The strategies that once protected you, or got you the crumbs of what you needed, may now leave you feeling stuck, exhausted, and far from the closeness, compassion, and calm you long for.

I specialize in cultivating a space for individuals and couples to connect, resolve well-worn patterns, and repair old wounds. If you and your partner have different ways of navigating emotions, connection, conflict, or stress, I can help. I specialize in working with differing attachment styles, typically playing out as one partner pursuing for connection or resolution, upping the ante when they can’t feel their partner, and the other partner withdrawing or shutting down in an effort to reduce tension and diffuse the conflict. I work with individuals and couples to find ways out of their patterns, pain, distrust, and protectiveness

Joseph specializes in Relational based therapy with Individuals, Families, Couples, in areas of co-parenting in Divorce or Step-parenting situations.
I work with couples, families, and individuals, but my true passion is relationships. After the initial "honeymoon period", couples may start finding themselves in complicated, emotional situations. Couples often begin to have disagreements, fights, unmet needs/wants, and hurt feelings start clipping away at the connections that were solid "in the beginning". After time, these situations start creating distance between the partners until.... it's over. The lack of working on the relationship, sadly, ends it.

My therapeutic philosophy begins with cultivating safety and trust within the client/counselor relationship. I truly believe that it is vital to build a strong foundation. I believe that is important because, as a therapist, I understand that I am entering your private world. This is a deep and sacred trust. It is important to me that my clients know that whether or not that trust has been violated by others in the past, I will create a sanctuary in which those hurts that have created trauma, anxiety, depression, etc., can be explored, understood and, as we face that pain together, we can find healing and restoration.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
