Meet Joshua

As your therapist, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where you feel heard and understood. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and life transitions, helping them build resilience and confidence. My approach is warm, compassionate, and practical, focused on exploring thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll identify strengths, build tools, and create strategies for lasting change.
