I believe the most important aspect of counseling is feeling comfortable with the counselor. You need to be able to trust who you are working with has your best interest at heart and genuinely listens to help meet your therapeutic goals. If I am not the right fit for you, I will assist you in finding the right counselor. I have over 20 plus years experience.
To help clients make tangible progress, I often assign practical exercises or "homework" that promote movement toward their personalized goals. By encouraging clients to actively engage with the therapeutic process outside of sessions, I help them integrate the skills they’ve learned into their daily lives, promoting sustained growth and long-term change.
Compassion is powerful strength, as it fosters meaningful connections and empathy toward others. Integrity, the commitment to honesty and strong moral principles, builds trust and reliability in relationships. I love laughter, and seeing people reach their goals.
I have dedicated my career to helping individuals overcome life’s emotional, psychological, and relational challenges. I enjoy working with clients which are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious.

Fantastic session. If you are looking for a therapist that is direct , yet kind and professional you found your man. He made me feel very comfortable and safe opening up about certain things. Looking forward to more sessions

Joe was very kind and made my husband and I feel very comfortable in our first session. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and has their best interest at heart. He reassured us that if he was not the right fit, he would help us find somepne who is. I truly appreciated his professionality and kindness.
