Get to know Joseph
Why did you decide to become a counselor?
After college, I spent time working in a variety of jobs (mostly uniformed jobs) looking for my professional identity. In the midst of this process I was working part time as a counselor in a group home shelter. I realized after talking with an intern that while looking everywhere else, my passion was in right in front of me all the time. That moment was over thirty years ago and I'm still here!
What’s one thing you wish all clients knew?
There's no shame or weakness in asking for help...life get's complicated and you don't have to figure it all out alone.
What inspires you?
I am a spiritually centered person living a spiritually centered lifestyle. It's my faith, hope and optimism that keeps me going!
What do you want to accomplish with an individual in their first session?
Create a therapeutically safe environment to engage with my client to understand their primary (and secondary) concerns, what they want (if known) and what I may be able to do to help.
