Hello there, my name is Joy. I think it is wonderful that you have decided to try therapy. Deciding to come to therapy is a big decision and takes courage. My passion is for individual psychotherapy. 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 was attracted to Joy after reading her bio and seeing her emphasis on integrating a psychiatric approach to care, feeling that this was something i had been missing from other therapists (it is possible that could be due more to my approach and nothing to do with them), but with that aside, i am finding my sessions with her to be very helpful and encouraging. I feel very fortunate to have connected with Joy, and am looking forward to working with her on my journey.
