Hey there! My name is Josephine. As your therapist, I’m all about helping families, individuals, and couples tackle life’s ups and downs—whether it’s trauma, depression, anxiety, chronic illnesses, infertility, or relationship struggles. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or just not connecting like you used to, I’m here to help you revive your life and spark real change. I know taking the first step into therapy can feel intimidating, but it’s also one of the most courageous things you can do for yourself. This journey is about feeling heard, understood, and empowered to create the changes you’ve been dreaming of. I use a mix of approaches—like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy—to help you work through unresolved issues and focus on what truly matters. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on this path to healing and growth! Let’s do this together!
In the first session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere where we’ll start with an intake process to gather important background information. We’ll get to know each other, discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, and explore your goals and challenges. I’ll ask questions to understand your needs and strengths, which will help us tailor our work together. By the end of the session, you should feel heard, understood, and ready to embark on this transformative journey together!
My greatest strengths as a provider stem from my deep commitment to collaboration and empowerment. I love working closely with my clients, building a partnership that feels supportive and encouraging. By actively listening and truly understanding their unique stories and aspirations, I create a safe space where they can express themselves openly.
In my practice, I use solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) to help clients quickly identify their goals and find practical solutions. This approach is all about leveraging what’s already working and building on those strengths. During sessions, I focus on asking targeted questions that encourage clients to envision their preferred future and highlight small steps they can take to get there. It’s empowering to see clients recognize their own resources and capabilities. SFBT is all about action and positivity, making it a powerful tool for creating change in a short amount of time. I love witnessing clients gain clarity and confidence as they move forward!
In my practice, family therapy is all about helping families communicate better and tackle their challenges together. I create a relaxed space where everyone can share their feelings openly. We focus on identifying and changing unhealthy patterns in interactions. I use techniques like role-playing and fun exercises to make it engaging and relatable. My goal is to empower families to strengthen their bonds and find solutions together. Seeing families grow and connect is incredibly rewarding, and I love being part of that journey!
In my practice, I love using narrative therapy to help people reshape their stories and find empowerment. This approach focuses on how we interpret our experiences and encourages clients to explore their narratives, separating themselves from their problems. I guide clients in identifying and reauthoring the stories they tell about themselves, highlighting their strengths and resilience. By exploring their values and beliefs, they can create a more positive and authentic narrative. It’s inspiring to see clients reclaim their identities and find new paths forward. Narrative therapy truly emphasizes that we all have the power to write our own stories!
In my practice, I embrace humanistic therapy to help clients connect with their authentic selves. This approach emphasizes empathy, self-discovery, and personal growth. I create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their feelings and experiences. We focus on building a genuine therapeutic relationship, which fosters trust and openness.
