After working 10 years in the corporate world and 10 years as a School Counselor then Mental Health Therapist, I find myself able to relate easily with a wide range of individuals and life issues. Hi, my name is Joy and as it turns out my name has truly become my life's work. Thanks to the gentle guidance of the wise and generous teachers I have met along my life journey, I am finding my way home to self-acceptance and yes - joy. Perhaps as a fellow seeker, this will inspire in you a bit of curiosity and hope.

 

I am a first-generation immigrant who survived the pain of feeling disconnected and alone. Anxiety was so pervasive in my life that I didn't realize that I was suffering with the very thing that I was working to help others overcome. By taking a compassionate and nonjudgemental approach, I have witnessed countless teens and adults gain access to radical self-acceptance and learn to better cope with the challenges that life can bring. And thankfully, I have personally benefitted from the tools and resources that I have collected over the years.

 

The work I do as an Integrative Wellness Coach incorporates the ancient healing practices of the East with what the top minds in western science and research have discovered as best practices in our collective aim to help individuals improve their overall health and quality of life. I am dedicated to seeking out the latest findings in brain-body research to help clients experience rapid and deep change while learning to establish healthy sustainable habits. As a lifelong learner, I am a Certified Brainspotting Consultant, Nationally Board Certified Coach, PMA Pilates Instructor, and EFT Practitioner.

 

If you like the idea of learning to understand how amazing our brain and body (aka autonomic nervous system) is and how befriending it can help you find freedom and show up as your most authentic self, then let's connect! I look forward to coming alongside you to help you create and live out your Best Future Self.
