(he/him)

Intern Director and Therapist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Joe seeks to create warm, safe spaces for clients to release emotion and feel heard, seen, and validated. Joe views all of his clients as the experts of their own experience, and (rather than judging) his goal is to support individuals as a collaborator and ally. Joe believes whole-heartedly that every person he comes into contact with has certain strengths and tools that are useful in achieving desired outcomes. His role will always be to learn from his clients, identify what makes them strong and unique, and co-create goals and meaningful experiences in therapy sessions. Joe is passionate about working with individuals impacted by trauma and enjoys using various frameworks/modalities, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), to support them in the healing process.

His focus is on the internal and external systems that drive the human experience, and he is ready to explore topics of societal injustice, culture, and oppression/privilege, in addition to mental challenges and emotional suffering. Additionally, Joe has a longstanding personal and professional background with suicide prevention and is embracing of clients who have experienced suicidality and are seeking to talk about it.
