Joseph’s Heart for Counseling
It’s an honor to help clients not only heal through a painful season, but also uncover their unique gifts along the way. I enjoy guiding clients toward a deeper relationship with themselves, others, nature, and God, and helping them step more fully into a life that aligns with their values. To anyone who chooses to work with me, thank you for placing your trust in me.
Joseph’s Style
Joseph uses a whole-person lens to treat your mind, body, and spirit. He asks big questions and provides unconditional presence to cultivate a safe and nourishing environment for healing to sprout. He is not here to lecture you, but instead will listen, teach you skills, and guide you towards an authentic life. He will see the goodness and potential in you, especially when you struggle to see it yourself.
