We all want our kids to be happy
...and it’s hard to watch them struggle.
​
Our teens face the same adolescent challenges we did, but they also navigate the additional stress of school shootings, rising suicide rates, and non-stop accessibility and (social) media exposure.
While our teens wrestle with anxiety and feel alone, parents worry they could lose their kid to depression, mental health issues, or even suicide.
​
My practice is about helping families reconnect and get out of the worry zone.
I make therapy both relevant and fun so kids stay engaged with the process. I also work with parents, providing them with the tools, strategies, and solutions they need to successfully support their kids.
​
These are hard times to be a teen (and a parent!) but we can give them what they need to face their challenges successfully.
I love to watch these kids come through, a weight lifted as they realize they're not alone...and parents relieved as their teen re-emerges from their room, excited about life again, the light in their face returned.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
SUZANNE, PARENT
We started therapy a very broken family. But with Joy's patience, wisdom, and expertise, she has helped heal our family. Especially our daughters. She is awesome with teens.
KYLIE, PARENT
I think of Joy as the teenage whisperer. I was at my wit's end with my teenage son and he refused to see another counselor after previous negative experiences. Joy helped me get him in to see her, and I have seen a dramatic improvement in his mood and in my relationship with him. Joy thinks outside the box and has gone above and beyond. I'm so grateful to have her help and to feel connected with my son again.

When you're battling mental illness you just want one day to be worry-free and that's what this group does. It gives us a very safe place to not worry about what people think. This group has shown me that life has a bigger picture than the one you see right in front of you.
And you matter.
