Taking the First Step

This is the time and place to step forward and end the confusion, fear, anxiety, and depression that you’ve come to dread. It’s time to live the life you’ve been hoping for!

By clicking on my website, you’ve taken one step closer to a life of happiness and fulfilling relationships.

Therapy is a journey that many have taken before you. It’s a unique and sometimes challenging path that can lead you to a deeper understanding of what confronts you. Therapy can help you lead a life of meaning and satisfaction.

Let’s do this together!

You are not alone! Traveling the path toward a stronger, healthier you is always best when you take the journey with an experienced partner and guide.

Working with a therapist who has the expertise to help you learn the source of your problems and how they interfere in your life is important.

Finding real-life solutions that make a difference every day is the goal, and it takes a genuine collaboration to make this happen.

I am ready to walk this path with you!

Our Time Together

We’ll begin your journey in my private and secure office by focusing on what brought you to this point and think carefully about where you want to go from here.

Together, we’ll work to develop a new understanding of the problems you’ve faced and why they have kept you from living a happier life.

It can be hard work; but 36 years of experience has taught me that when we focus together, it’s possible to find meaningful and lasting solutions!

Hi, I’m Joseph!

Since the age of ten, I knew that I was destined to be a therapist.

As a teenager, I was a volunteer board member for the local community mental health center and dreamed that one day I would be able to help others just like the professionals around me were doing every day.

The dream was a goal then and a passion now! Helping others overcome the most challenging circumstances in life is not only a profession, but also a privilege.

My professional background…

After completing my undergraduate program at Ohio Northern University, I entered graduate studies at the University of Southern Mississippi, Louisiana State University, the University of Phoenix, and Pacifica Graduate Institute, where I earned the Master of Social Work and Doctor of Management degrees.

I also have focused extensively on advanced therapy techniques and evidence-based practices in providing trauma-informed care for individuals, couples, and families.

Some of my other credentials include:

  • Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board-Approved Clinical Supervisor (LCSW, BACS – Louisiana)
  • Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW – Georgia)
  • Beck Institute Trained Clinician in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
  • Member of the International OCD Foundation
  • Matrix Institute Clinical and Key Supervisors Trained Clinician
  • Brief Strategic Therapy Trained Clinician
