​​Joe has particular experience and training in helping clients navigate relationship concerns, anxiety, identity development, trauma/traumatic stress, and boys' & men's issues. His therapeutic style is primarily informed by a psychodynamic, interpersonal approach. In therapy, he helps clients to identify their existing strengths and internal resources, supports them in clarifying — and at times, changing — personal patterns, and often draws from the potential of the therapeutic relationship to facilitate change. When indicated, Joe utilizes mindfulness- and skills-based interventions to support specific issues & focus areas. Joe believes that people are the primary experts on themselves, and he therefore values a collaborative approach to therapy that encourages self-efficacy and personal choice. He appreciates that healing and personal growth takes time, and aims to push clients toward their goals while respecting their pace.
