Client will gain insight into themselves and how to live their best possible lives. Therapist Joy is experienced and open to working with diverse populations of all ages in a variety of settings, and I look forward to supporting you on your mental health journey.

In your first therapy session, you can expect a welcoming, low-pressure environment designed to help us get to know one another and begin building rapport. During this session, I conduct what’s called a biopsychosocial assessment, which involves exploring various areas of your life — including relationships, employment, self-care, and spirituality — both past and present. This process helps me understand how your experiences and symptoms interact across different aspects of your life. It also allows me to learn more about your personal goals for therapy, which is essential in developing a collaborative and achievable treatment plan.
