Here's how Joyce describes her counselling:
"I believe that everyone has a voice and that their voice matters. I am passionate about creating space where their voice is listened to and valued. It is an honour and privilege to walk alongside people as they navigate times when they may feel pain, confusion, or stuckness. I bring the values of acceptance, a safe space, and a collaborative process to the sacred counselling space, helping clients understand their distress while strengthening their sense of self and fostering healthier relationships. I also value celebrating my clients' triumphs as they work towards becoming the person they aspire to be."

Joyce's clinical approach is through the attachment-based lens of Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT). Joyce has experience in helping clients walk towards a better understanding and acceptance of themselves and others while gently processing with a trauma informed approach using the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS). Joyce has seen growth and transformation while working collaboratively with her clients every step of the way. Building a therapeutic alliance is of utmost importance to Joyce and this is her commitment to her clients.

Joyce's passion is working with young adults to help them figure out their place in this world as they navigate the new complexities of adulthood and career. Sometimes entering into a new stage of life can feel unsettling. With Joyce's support, you can find comfort in the transition, gain confidence in your pursuits, and embrace the growth unfolding within you.
