Nice to meet you

Hi, I’m Joel. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with Veterans, First Responders, and trauma survivors. As a Veteran myself, I deeply understand the challenges associated with trauma. I believe that everyone has a worst day, and how we respond to it helps define us. Having an objective perspective on your challenges can be helpful, and that’s where therapy comes in. Together, we can explore your options and support you in finding the ability to choose how you respond.
