Ground into your true self
Rekindle the spark within
Light your way forward
Welcome. I’m Joe.
For much of my life, I was chasing meaning while feeling disconnected from myself and the life I was living. Therapy, mindfulness, and time in nature helped me slow down, listen more deeply, and rediscover a sense of groundedness I didn’t know I was missing. Those experiences ultimately led me to earn my degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and dedicate my work to helping others reconnect with what feels most real and alive within them.
I work with adults and teens, and I specialize in supporting men who may be new to therapy or unsure how to begin. Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or ready to grow, I offer a space that’s genuine, non-judgmental, and focused on what matters most to you.
My goal is to help you find steadiness in the present, clarity in your direction, and a deeper connection to your truest self.
Our Work Together
It’s hard to be a human being. We try to live up to society’s expectations and somewhere along the way we lose touch with what actually gives our lives meaning. We find ourselves asking: Why does life feel so hard? Why do I feel disconnected? What happened to the part of me that used to feel alive?
These questions can bring up dis-ease, and they are also openings. They’re signals that something deeper in you is ready to be seen, understood, and integrated.
In our work together we slow down and get curious. We explore the emotions, sensations, habits, and belief systems shaping your experience right now. Unhelpful patterns reveal themselves in the present, and we experiment with new ways of being. My approach is relational, experiential, and grounded in mindfulness and Gestalt principles, which means we pay close attention to how life is unfolding in the moment, not just in the story about it.
We are wounded in relationship and we heal in relationship. This is what the therapeutic relationship is all about. We create a non-judgmental, relational field for your awareness and growth. We go beyond the thinking mind and drop into your somatic, energetic, and transpersonal experience. I invite nature, movement, creativity, and existential inquiry into the process.
The goal of our journey is for you to reclaim your clarity and freedom. This means rooting down and accepting the reality of circumstance, working to uncover your inner spark, and igniting the flame that illuminates your way forward.
