Meet Joseph

I am passionate about aiding clients on their journey of holistic flourishing through a focus on their strengths and an integrated view of the human person, informed by both clinical psychology and Christian anthropology. In sessions, I draw from a variety of modalities depending on the client's needs, especially person-centered, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and IFS-informed therapy. No matter what modalities we use, I believe that a warm and supportive therapeutic relationship forms the core of success.

My Background

I received my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Santa Clara University and am currently completing my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Divine Mercy University. I have been involved with adolescent and young adult work for several years through youth ministry, teaching, and tutoring.

Areas of Focus

I focus on OCD, adolescents, young adults, depression, anxiety, addictions, and couples. With that being said, we can work on whatever unique topic you desire to bring to a session!
