Choose Joy Counseling LLC

I believe counseling helps people reach their fullest potential and I am passionate about helping you reach your therapeutic goals. I value the relationship and confidentiality between client and counselor and I look forward to beginning our journey together. I obtained my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling which included but was not limited to classes in: Family and Couples Counseling, Sexuality in Counseling, Assessment, Diagnosis, Substance Abuse Counseling, Sexual Assault and Intimate Partner Violence. During counseling I will use a variety of theories including (CBT) Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy to best meet your needs. I am also certified in (ART) Accelerated Resolution Therapy which utilizes eye movements to address problems including but not limited to: Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression.
