Joyce is awesome! She listens intently and ask great questions to spur on new perspectives or options for action. She makes me feel supported and understood and urges me to make the best decisions for my life. She’s not afraid to challenge me or consider another option that I might be afraid of. I am forever grateful for her!
More about Joyce
- 22 years' experience

- LMFT
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California and Nevada. I have worked with individuals, couples and families over the past 20 years in both private practice and community agencies. I have supervised over 100 interns and held clinical director titles. I returned to counseling therapy last year to assist people with a wide range of needs and concerns including depression and anxiety, physical and emotional abuse, couples counseling, career challenges and recently Pandemic fear and overwhelm.
My counseling style is compassionate yet directive. I believe in treating everyone with respect and sensitivity, but don't shy away from honesty. My approach combines Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused, Psychodynamic and Mindfulness theories. Recently I have started using principles of Relational Life Therapy to boost people's ability to find accountability, vulnerability and empathy. When working with couples, this promotes an environment where fast change can often happen.
So if you are ready to take the next step, let's get started. I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Joyce is amazing and offers me great feed back. I appreciate working with her
Joyce was very personable and easy to work with. She has a lot of expertise in dealing with alcoholism and other family addiction issues. She listened to my concerns and provided very helpful guidance.
Joyce has helped me so much to overcome my insecurities, gain back my focus, and confidence, heal many old wounds. I see a brighter path for myself going forward because of our sessions and work together! Thank you so much for guiding me to find a way to my true self! I feel very fortunate to have Joyce as my therapist!
Joyce has been extremely helpful for me! Having someone I can be completely open with has been monumental in my life. She asks great questions that encourage me to think about things in a different way or dynamics I wasn’t even aware of. She’s a great listener and is supportive and kind. I am beyond grateful for her!
Joyce is a fantastic therapist! My anxiety is a lot better, and I have less fear examining the issues that bother me. She has allowed me to pause and reflect, and really get to the bottom of some issues that have kept me going in circles for a long time. I like her approach, because it doesn't feel like a formula, it's about learning to know yourself better. Thank you Joyce! My life is changing, and I am finding my voice because of you!
