Hello. I’m so glad you reached out and took what I know can be a difficult step in beginning the therapy process. I’m Joy, and I’m here to help you as you navigate your own unique journey to healing. I specialize in working with people who have been diagnosed with chronic illness, and I know that navigating through diagnosis, treatments, and life changes can can be beyond overwhelming. I also work with those who struggle with anxiety, depression, and previous traumas in their lives. It is a privilege to be allowed to help you through the challenges of your life’s journey. I believe the compassion, truly listening to your own unique situation, and helping you develop skills that will move you forward are the most important aspects of the therapeutic relationship. I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
