I am a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental social worker who strives to create a space where clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves.

My style is honest, grounded, and deeply respectful of the human experience.

I draw from evidence‑based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and cognitive‑behavioral principles, to support clients in building psychological flexibility, coping more effectively with stress, and moving toward values‑driven goals.

I help couples identify unhelpful interaction patterns, increase understanding of one another’s experiences, and develop practical tools for responding with greater awareness and intention.

I will let people with whom I worked over the years tell you about me: "Joel focuses on the issues at hand, because he listens very intently. Doesn't get into any psychobabble and provides clear insight to moving forward. Joel encouraged positive takeaways from all sessions." "He s attentive, professional, personable, and kind." "We were able as a family to have Joel's ear as an outside observer. He could extract the most important take away from all that we were working on together and put them into concrete terms. It helped bring clarity and structure to all the things we were trying to do. Having appointments with Joel also helped us to be accountable for the work. Therapy is work. We have to consciously make changes to see the improvements... Joel helped us to stay accountable. " When I came to see Joel I was in a bad place - personally and professionally. I was dealing with unresolved grief and that was impacting my habits and behaviors. After a few short sessions with Joel I started the road back to being the person who I believe myself to be. It has been about 6 months since my first session with Joel - I am now working a good job, I have returned to a hobby that I love and I just completed my first semester of a degree program towards a more rewarding profession (and earned a 4.0 GPA!). Joel helped me realize that I had the ability to determine my own course in life and helped me develop positive habits to achieve my goals." If you want to know more you can visit www.0to10.net.
