More about Joy
- 23 years' experience
- Female
- LCP
As a licensed therapist with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma while fostering self-esteem and personal growth.
I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to therapy, particularly supporting Black and Christian clients seeking understanding and healing. My work focuses on addressing critical emotional experiences like isolation, communication barriers, guilt, shame, and the transformative journey of self-love and forgiveness.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their inner experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. My goal is to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and genuine commitment to your emotional well-being.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
