Are you stuck with a dark feeling that you just can’t shake? Maybe feeling isolated, alone? Scared to make a choice, but painfully aware that something needs to change? Has something recently happened that shook you to your core? Or are you realizing (like we all do) that old “stuff” is lingering in your life - and you really don’t know what to do about it? The dawn is coming, my friend. Through creative arts, reflection, mind-body experience, practical skills, & knowledge of trauma recovery, Joy will walk you through the stages of healing.
What to expect: Joy is a straight-forward therapist, who respectfully & skillfully supports and challenges you towards new perspectives. She will guide you on your journey to overcome stuckness & pain with humor & a little dose of reality & a whole lot of creativity. She is passionate about Personal Growth and helping others realize the ability they already have within themselves to make it through difficult times, survive and even thrive! Her accepting and non-judgmental approach allows clients to quickly build comfort in sessions. Using expressive tools to cope plus exploring core concerns that are a barrier to a balanced, authentic, healthy life is an effective treatment and can be adapted to any client’s needs. mNo stranger to surprises that take your breath away and suffering, she connects to anyone on the arduous journey of self-exploration, healing & ultimately hope.
