I am an active participant in each treatment and will work relationally with you to address your concerns. I also specialize in the use of more body-based modalities such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and SE (Somatic Experiencing).

As your therapist, first and foremost I will respect the courage of your decision to seek therapy and create a foundation of safety, acceptance, and collaboration. I strongly believe that symptom reduction (e.g., anxiety, panic, constant worrying, depression, high stress levels, complex PTSD), and an exploration of the root causes of your most distressing problems are both vital aspects of a helpful therapeutic experience. I foster a therapeutic relationship that honors my clients’ conscious minds as well as feelings, symptoms, and behaviors that they may find confusing and painful, but may be clues to presenting problems. I also consider my clients' current life situations holistically, collaborating with them to explore physical, nutritional, general life style, social support, and self-regulation issues to find areas of resilience as well as those that could be strengthened. Presently, I work with late teens and adults of all ages. I work with clients who struggle with symptoms which may be the aftermath of loss, abuse or other difficult experiences, or are simply perplexed with why they repeat distressing patterns which cause them pain. My clients may enter therapy to explore "why they have such difficulty regulating their emotions", or, "why they continue to pursue relationships that are ultimately painful", or, "why it's so hard to feel anything"; they may also enter therapy to receive assistance with specific issues such as life transitions, relationship difficulties, and work or academic problems. I also specialize in the impact of past and current interpersonal trauma or loss on parenting capacities, and assist my clients when these experiences interfere with being loving and supportive parents in the present. My work blends relational psychotherapeutic approaches, trauma-focused assessment and treatment, and psychoeducation for both clients and their families where appropriate. My trauma studies, which included EMDRIA-approved advanced EMDR training, as well as principles of Internal Family Systems and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, have solidified my longstanding belief that therapy must often go beyond talk and attend to messages from our physical selves that may provide clues to where we are most "stuck". While I have been trained in several modalities and my approach is eclectic, I will meet you where you are presently to address the problems that are most distressing to you.

Many issues can be addressed in short term therapy. Working together, we can decide the time frame that suits the resolution of the presenting problem

I work with each Client to help them set and achieve their own individualized goals. I find that the majority of the time, it is our own self-destructive thoughts and behaviors that hold us back from living life to its full potential. By changing our counterproductive thought patterns we can eventually become our best resource to live a fulfilling and beneficial life. As a Music Therapist, I believe that music can be an enjoyable, positive, at times nonverbal, approach to psychotherapy, offering a creative outlet in the exploration of emotional, behavioral, social, and cognitive issues. The creative process tends to come naturally to individuals of all ages and often aids in processing and expressing anger, sadness, grief, anxiety or difficult experiences. Music Therapy is highly beneficial when exploring anxiety, family issues, anger, socialization and self esteem, and development disabilities, especially those on the Autism Spectrum.

As a certified cognitive therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns and negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Cognitive Therapy was created by Aaron Beck, MD at the University of Pennsylvania , but now practiced as the primary form of therapy all over the world. "Cognitive" literally means knowing or thinking, so CT emphasizes directly changing how we think. By changing how we think, we can change our emotional and behavioral reactions. CT emphasizes interventions such as, evidence based thinking, hypothesis testing our thoughts, activity scheduling and prediction. It is the most scientifically proven therapy and the "Gold Standard" treatment for depression and anxiety disorders; scientifically proven controlled research trials have shown its effectiveness is often comparable to medication therapy. CT has also gone on to accumulate hundreds of proven effective results for anxiety disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, phobias, marital discord, ADHD, and aspergers syndrome, etc. Joseph is credentialed by the Academy of Cognitive Therapy. The only national credentialing organization standardizing Cognitive Therapy. Since CT has become the most proven and recommended type of therapy, many psychotherapists now claim to know how to do CT, unfortunately very few are actually credentialed or trained to do so.

Many obstacles occur throughout our lifetime, some we have coping tools to resolve and some we have more difficulties to work through.

I encourage people to have faith in themselves and their own healing process. I have been practicing psychotherapy for 20 years. I treat adult individuals in an atmosphere of respect and privacy. I focus on educating people to understand themselves and learn skills to empower them to take charge of their lives. I teach clear, effective, communication skills and assertiveness to help people stand up for themselves and improve relationships. To facilitate more complete healing I like a team approach combining nutrition, massage, acupuncture yoga and tai chi. Although I am in private practice I work with a network of practitioners. I specialize in treating trauma whether it is single incident trauma or chronic, repeated trauma. I use body oriented approaches to psychotherapy such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Focusing as well as Ego State Therapy because I find them to produce quicker and more complete results. I teach Focusing Classes in my office for a nominal fee so people can learn mindfulness and self awareness skills to use on their own outside of therapy sessions. I provide monthly practice sessions free of charge.

In my 19 years of experience, I have come to realize that for many people the idea of trusting someone with their personal struggles and life issues can be very scary. It takes courage to reach out for professional help when life's challenges are more than you can handle on your own. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone outside your immediate circle of family and friends. You may be stressed about your marriage, children, family, relationship, job, health, or finances. Maybe you have suffered a severe trauma or loss. Perhaps you have a tough decision to make and need some guidance. All of these issues can be addressed in therapy. Helping others has been my life's work. Professional training and education, coupled with a vast array of personal life experiences, gives me the wisdom and compassion to connect with clients in a therapeutic way. I see you as a person on a life journey toward meaning and happiness, not as a problem list. This work is a privilege for me. A healing relationship with a compassionate therapist can provide you with the safety, support and guidance you need to create lasting change in your life. Individual Family, and Couple therapy are the modalities I use to help clients regain their ability to handle daily life stressors and emotional problems. I have extensive experience helping people with a variety of life challenges that include the treatment of: Relationship issues Depression Low self esteem Anxiety Work related issues Grief and loss Problem solving Addiction Trauma
