Seeking a counselor can be a daunting experience and I commend you for your courage in taking this step.

Hi I'm Josh, and I believe that life has its seasons - moments of joy, and times of struggle. It's full of ups and downs, transitions, and unexpected challenges. Sometimes, we find ourselves weighed down by the pressures to “hold it all together” while quietly carrying burdens no one else sees. Reaching out for help can feel difficult, and even vulnerable, but it can also be the first brave step toward growth, clarity, and healing.
I believe that every person holds the strengths they need to overcome life’s obstacles - sometimes, they just need a safe space and the right support to unlock that strength.

Therapy is about learning how to tell our stories. It is deepening our courage to look ourselves in the eye, and tell the truth of what we see. It is taking in the bountiful love in the world though it sometimes seems impossible to find. It is learning to savor the taste of a good meal and laughter with others. It is knowing the name of our sadness whether or not we can find our tears. It is being, just as we are with hope and love for more to come.

I believe that we are relational beings, and that health can be cultivated in intentional, honest, and reciprocal relationships that respect and reveal our inherent dignity. Because relationships with others and ourselves hold great promise and power, they can also be the focus of most of our pain as we move through life. The therapeutic relationship we build together acts as a staging ground and microcosm to help you renew the relationships you have with yourself and others in life.

If you are the kind of person who holds everything together for everyone else but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or tired, you are not alone. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, creative, and sensitive individuals who have carried more than their share for far too long. You might be navigating trauma, emotionally enmeshed or codependent family dynamics, or the pressure of being a first generation adult child of immigrant parents. You may appear strong and capable on the outside while feeling anxious or disconnected inside. Deep down, you want clarity, confidence, peace, and a more grounded connection to yourself.
