Together you will identify specific areas in your life you would like to explore, and then create a plan to work towards positive, lasting change. Joel will also help you build skills to manage your current stress and better handle current and future challenges. Joel has enjoyed working with a diverse variety of clients. He also brings an ability to uniquely connect with each individual and their experiences, having worked in various setting including multiple community mental health agencies, private practice, and churches, as well as having previous experience in various other career paths. As a Christian trained in both theology and counseling, Joel has a passion for providing spiritually-integrated counseling.
