I’m so grateful for Joseph!! He played an incredible role in being a listener, support, and guide as I was making a cross-country + ocean move and experiencing major transitions. I appreciate how he checked in on me regularly through text, voice message, provided worksheets to challenge my thoughts, and how he seemed to understand during our phone sessions together. When I started therapy with Joseph, I felt ungrounded and scattered. After out time together, I now feel grounded and spacious in mind. Thank you, Joseph!
