Joy is a counselor-in-training with a passion for helping individuals from all walks of life explore the stories that shape their identities, develop insights about themselves, and live authentically in reconciled relationships with themselves and with the world around them. 

Joy views the therapy room as a sacred space where healing, growth, and transformation can unfold. She works collaboratively and non-judgmentally with clients, providing trauma-informed care and drawing from evidence-based modalities such as narrative therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and gestalt therapy, among others. Joy’s clinical interests include anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, stress and burnout, and spiritual issues. Joy finds deep meaning in supporting clients as they grow in self-compassion, resilience, and wholeness.

Before returning to school to become a counselor, Joy spent over a decade working in strategy and operations at various for-profit and nonprofit organizations. Joy holds a Bachelor's degree from New York University and an MBA from Harvard Business School. She is currently finishing her Master’s in Clinical Counseling at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
