Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Jocelyn.

I'm here to support you in navigating life's challenges with compassion, honesty, and practical guidance. Life is a gift, but it can also bring moments of real difficulty — the kind that affect how we think, feel, and function. I believe you're the expert on your own life. My role is to bring my experience, training, and an outside perspective alongside you, so we can reduce distress, build insight, and create meaningful, lasting change together.

My approach to therapy

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, and I think of myself as a generalist with a few areas I care deeply about: addiction recovery, trauma, mood disorders, and the unique experiences of people from biracial and multicultural backgrounds. If you're working through a substance use struggle, processing something painful from your past, managing anxiety or depression, or navigating identity as someone who moves between cultures or communities, I want you to know this is exactly the kind of work I do — and you don't have to explain everything from scratch for me to understand where you're coming from.

My approach is tailored to you, not a one-size-fits-all method. I draw from behavioral therapies, trauma-informed care, integrative and relational approaches, shaping the work around your needs rather than fitting you into a single framework. I also believe healing draws on more than just what happens in the room — your strengths, relationships, spirituality or faith, resilience, and even your sense of humor are all real tools we can use.

What you can expect from me

It's completely normal to feel unsure before a first session. You can expect a space where you can show up as you are — tears, laughter, and everything in between are welcome here. We'll start with your story, what brought you in, and build from there toward the changes you're looking for.
