Professional statement

“The wound is the place where light enters you”-Rumi. Joseph understands that life is full of challenges and looks to the word “hope” for inspiration. He believes that during our low points in life, we are vulnerable and struggle to understand why things happen the way they do, but we can rely on hope to remind us to bring in the light to heal us and move forward. Joseph works with his clients on being comfortable and accepting of the position they are currently in as this will allow them to accept the journey of healing.

Message to clients

I thrive on exploring human nature, identifying individual strengths, and creating human connections. I bring these values into my sessions and will work with you to uncover your inner strengths and resilience so you can take positive steps forward into the life you envision for yourself. In our sessions, I will give you the space to share your stories, unpack the weight you have been carrying, and guide you through discovering yourself on a more personal level.
