Choosing to begin therapy is a big deal.  Trust me, I have been there. That is why my goal at JoyLab is to make the experience feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

​

I believe that wounding doesn't occur in isolation.  Neither does healing.  My hope is to help foster a safe space where you feel comfortable exploring old wounds and new behaviors.  

​

I am in no way a "sit-and-nod" therapist.  We will talk.  We will brainstorm.  We will connect.  You are the expert on you-- my role is to serve as a guide to examine old behaviors, beliefs, or patterns that may not be serving you anymore and look at how to create and invite in new ones. 

​

The majority of individuals that find their way to my office, typically have some form of early child wounding, usually with a caregiver, usually with mom.  Those early wounds create the basis for beliefs and behaviors that often don't serve us.  This can look like anxiety, overwhelm, people-pleasing, burnout, lack of trust in ourselves, questioning who we "really are" and what we "really want", and a general feeling that we want MORE.
