Joseph is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor Intern in Nevada, practicing since May 2025. He holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from San Diego State University and a Doctorate in Social Work from the University of Southern California. His clinical focus centers on trauma, depression, and anxiety in adults, with specialized depth in veteran reintegration and Native American healing practices.
His Approach
Joseph works with adults, particularly veterans, Native American clients, and Black and African American individuals carrying trauma that runs across generations. Many of his clients have lived through experiences that mainstream mental health systems were not designed to hold: the transition out of military service, the weight of growing up in an underserved community, or the particular exhaustion of managing PTSD while trying to maintain a career and family.
Sessions with Joseph bring together CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and person-centered work. He draws from The Medicine Blanket Project, a mental health intervention he developed that integrates Western therapy with traditional American Indian healing practices to address generational trauma at its root.
