Joy has been in private practice in the Boston/Cambridge area for 30 years working with adults and adolescents, couples and families. She has taught and trained psychologists and psychiatrists at both Harvard teaching hospitals and Brandeis University and has been a Clinical Instructor in Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. She works with clients utilizing a trauma informed lens as well as elements of liberation psychology.

Her work and her passion are embedded in a deep commitment to social justice.
She has specialties in multicultural treatment, identity development, trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar illness, work issues, parenting issues, infidelity, fertility issues, and issues of sexuality. Joy also serves as the Director of the Counseling Center at Brandeis University.
