About Joy

"I have been in the social work field for over 14 years, but licensed for 11. I started out working in children's mental health, followed by an internship in juvenile corrections, and then another internship in home health and hospice. After a year working in community mental health, my internship with the hospice company turned into a full time position where I provided emotional and spiritual support to terminally ill patients and their families before and after their loved one passed away. This is where my passion for grief began.

In hopes of doing more with my career, after over 6 years I left my job at the hospice company and started graduate school. Throughout graduate school I worked for Intermountain Healthcare providing bereavement support in some of their Labor and Delivery units. Words cannot begin to describe how special and sacred that job was for me. It was an honor to be present during some of the most difficult moments of another woman's life and I did not take that position lightly. It ignited a passion in me for helping women through loss, birth trauma, infertility, postpartum depression, and anything else 'maternal mental health' related.

Throughout my time as a therapist my passion has expanded to helping women and teens process and heal from developmental trauma, abuse, low self-esteem, poor body image, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, and grief. Although parts of my job can be challenging, I love being a part of my client's journey toward self-discovery and healing."
