Great to meet you!

Hi! My name is Jocelyn, and I am here to support you in navigating life’s challenges with compassion, honesty, and practical guidance. While life is a gift, it can also bring moments of deep difficulty that affect how we think, feel, and function. I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role is to bring my experience, training, and objective perspective alongside you to help reduce distress, build insight, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I earned my master’s degree from George Washington University and bring more than 20 years of experience working across diverse settings, including detention centers, community programs, and therapeutic environments such as equine-assisted settings. These experiences have shaped a flexible and grounded approach to care. I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, and I consider myself a general practitioner with specialized interests in addiction recovery, trauma, mood disorders, and supporting individuals from biracial and multicultural backgrounds.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is tailored to each person. I draw from behavioral therapies, trauma-informed care, integrative approaches, relational approaches, and other evidence-based practices to meet your unique needs. I believe in building on your strengths, your values, relationships, spirituality or faith, resilience, and even your sense of humor—as powerful tools for healing and growth.

What you can expect from me

It’s normal to feel a bit unsure before your first session. I’m here to help you feel at ease. You can share openly—tears, laughter, and everything in between are welcome. We’ll talk about your story, what led you here, and how we can work together toward the changes you want.
