About Joselyn
Welcome!
The journey of life can be filled with great joys and many challenges. To walk this journey, it is often helpful to collaborate with those who can walk alongside us on the journey with empathic support. Wherever you are on that journey, I am someone who can partner with you.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Art Therapist (ATR) who is passionate about holistic wellness. I have a Master’s Degree in Art Therapy and Professional Counseling and a Masters of Divinity. I am Person centered, trauma informed and integrative in my holistic approach to therapy, often utilizing Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist clients in meeting their treatment goals. Being a strengths based therapist, I encourage clients to focus on developing their innate abilities and I empower them to use those strengths to navigate their presenting problems.
As a Registered Art Therapist and an ordained minister, I also specialize in using creativity and spirituality for those who want to integrate that into their healing journey in counseling. I am also a registered yoga and meditation teacher (RYT-500) who engages and integrates mindfulness and somatic practices in my work. I have worked in a variety of settings with diverse groups of people of all races, backgrounds, and ages from 3 to 80, on a myriad of presenting problems and diagnoses, emphasizing cultural humility and contextualization with clients. I am especially able to help with depression, anxiety, grief, and adjustment issues, as a comforting listener and helper on your healing journey.
I look forward to us working together to get you to where you want to be!

- “Joselyn is an amazing counselor/therapist. There are weeks where sometimes I feel it would be okay to not have a session but every time I end a session with Joselyn, I’m always grateful for that session with her because I feel validated and a burden seems to have lifted. Joselyn is someone that really listens and instead of leading you in a direction, she gently nudges or pushes you to reflect on your own.”

She is caring and generous and makes me feel comfortable to express my feelings, which can be hard to do. I look forward to more & more sessions with Joselyn in the near future.”

She recommends appropriate resources and approaches to suit circumstances in a very flexible and insightful way. She is encouraging and kind and encourages me to be kind to myself.”
- “Joselyn is amazing at what she does. She really encourages and supports you to question and re-asses your own long held thoughts about your self and your life and facilitates you to evolve and break away from the negative patterns of thinking and behaving. She is kind and caring. She is always impartial and NEVER shares or pushes her own beliefs or opinions on you. It is all your own thoughts and work and with Joselyn there to help you on your path of self assessment and changing hurtful habits from your past. I'm so grateful for Joselyn's help, Thank you!”

- “In all my years of therapy, Joselyn is my favorite therapist thus far. She is patient and challenges me to be better. She is also great at reminding me what the heck I wanted to talk about. I appreciate her insightful homework assignments. It feels like I am really getting something out of all this rather than simply talking about my problems. I look forward to our sessions every week.”
