A little about Joy…

I am passionate about mental health- both mine and yours!

My family, maybe like yours, had issues, and so I began my journey of learning about mental health and resilience. Then, I taught for 10 years and saw students who were very traumatized from countries around the world. I took 2 trauma courses and was hooked. I longed to witness healing from trauma and saw that healing with EMDR Therapy. So, I was trained and then Certified in EMDR Therapy and am passionate about how it can remove the power from trauma triggers. Let’s talk about what it can do for you.

When I am not in the office or online, I am passionate about self care. I have 2 dogs that I love hiking with and I run an urban homestead, which means I raise chickens, ducks, quail and rabbits. I also garden and love preserving food by canning and dehydrating, etc. I hope to get goats and learn to make cheese someday soon. What might sound like a lot of work to some, to me is meditative movement and a delight in nature!

I hope you find your passion too!
