Message to clients

My name is Joey, I’ve been doing this for 30 years and I’m grateful and blessed that I love what I do, I’m passionate, and I’ve had a lot of success over the years assisting my patients to navigate through a variety of adversities, challenges and sometimes through the darkest times in their lives.

I DEF have sense of humor and a unique style

I’m good at what I do, initially our focus will be to establish a foundation of trust and safety which will allow you to become vulnerable and transparent, then will allow me to assist you in maintaining your short and long-term goals and so much more.

I like to ask questions as I prefer not to assume anything, I can be direct and intense at times, but please don’t confuse that with me being rude or offensive, it’s just that I care very much

I take very good care of myself outside of my job and have a very full life which includes my two teenage children who I value and love more than anything else on this planet.

My strengths include listening and meeting each one of my patients where they are and allowing me to guide me and educate me to what you’ve been through, where you’re at today and what you’re wanting to accomplish.

I value and adhere to my code of ethics and the principle of confidentiality with passion and consistency.

Hope to hear from you soon
