People come to work with me on issues such as depression, anxiety, grief/loss, life transitions and relationship concerns. I have expertise in each of these problems and feel that it is an honor to be invited to accompany my patients on this part of their journey.

I enjoyed talking with her but sorry she had to my ranting and babbling about what I was feeling about my work as a CNA in Homecare on a daily basis. My head was pounding but it’s some what better after babbling on and with her.

Joy is easy to talk to. She meets me where I am without judgement and gives me tools and strategies to go forward in my daily life and work towards. I also love that her background is diverse, it makes her so relatable, and I feel she has the experience to truly help me grow and learn.
