Josie spent the first nine years of her corporate career teaching negotiation strategies where she supported people in becoming advocates for themselves, for that promotion, for that project, or for the hiring of more personnel. Leaving corporate life, she graduated with a Master of Science in Clinical Counseling Psychology to further hone her instincts in helping others participate fully in their lives. Josie provides psychotherapy to individuals and couples with specialized trainings in Adlerian Therapy and other evidence-based interventions. As a therapist, she has gained a deep respect and fondness for serving couples working through communication, past infidelity, and other relational concerns. Additionally, she provides premarital counseling and offers a faith-based foundation to counseling at request.
Meet Josie. With her infectious spirit and extensive experience, Josie brings a wealth of knowledge that she is excited to share with clients firsthand.
​
Josie takes her work with clients seriously, showing a deep commitment to supporting couples through challenges. Her specialties include conflict resolution, infidelity recovery, and premarital counseling. In addition to her focus on relationships, Josie also works with individuals navigating fertility struggles, miscarriage, and the stresses of motherhood.
She offers compassionate care to those experiencing grief, whether due to the loss of a loved one, terminal illness, divorce, job transitions, or financial hardship.
Josie’s approach reflects her passion for fostering healing, growth, and meaningful connections, no matter where clients are on their journey.
Ideals
Josie’s enthusiasm for therapy and genuine care for her clients is paired with a profound commitment to the development of those who walk through her door. Undeterred by challenges, her work is done with integrity to the therapeutic relationship and with positive regard for all persons. Knowing the brain is a powerful place, she expertly supports clients through what is holding themselves and their relationships back from living fully. She maintains professional standards and continues to attend ongoing trainings, seek specializations, and pursue education in the latest evidence-based therapy interventions.
Josie practices counseling from a faith based and biblical approach to the degree that each client determines. Meaning, we support our clients to choose the level at which their sessions include spiritual matters for their own personal growth and faith views without imposing our own specific spiritual views. We offer Christian counseling for couples, families, and individuals through the utilization of a biblical approach to interpreting, understanding, and addressing challenges that life brings. Our mission in the Christian counseling approach, should a client choose, is to be loving, compassionate, and honest, like Christ, while also supporting clients’ relationship with God. We believe in the research and wisdom psychological and social studies have to offer while also measuring it all against the wisdom within scripture.
Faith-Based Values
Josie is a southern gal with a distrust of grits and a love for dirtbiking. She married her highschool crush and together they undertrain for races, swap jokes, burn their enchiladas and serve teens at church camps.
