Joshua has had prior work experience working with children, adolescents, college students, and young adults; he is open to help and work with anyone from any background or age. His passion is helping people that struggle with anxiety, depression, and Bipolar I & II. Joshua operates from a collaborative approach wanting to walk alongside his client as together they journey down the path that counseling will bring them. He believes that every person has the ability to help improve their overall wellness in life, and he desires to help clients lean into their strengths as they work to better face their challenges and struggles. Joshua follows primarily the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy model, or CBT, which believes an individual's thought processes affect their behaviors and that retraining the brain can lead to better quality of life. He believes that everyone has the ability to be mindful of their thought processes and develop better coping mechanisms to deal with life's struggles and stress. With his background in religious studies Joshua is open to offering Christian integrated counseling, but first and foremost respects his client's wishes and leaves that decision up to the client; readily open to offer counseling with no religious focus.
