Joe strives for authenticity, honesty, and deep trust in the therapeutic relationships he builds with clients. His engagement style is marked by curiosity, candor, and abundant empathy.
Joe collaborates with adolescents, adults, and couples facing a range of issues, including low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, relationship and family issues, difficult life transitions, emotion dysregulation, self-harm, suicidality, and issues related to sexuality and gender identity. He has experience working with clients from a range of diverse cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds, and has a particular passion for supporting LGBTQIA+ clients, as well as students and professionals struggling in high-pressure academic and work environments. Joe relies on an evidence-based and trauma-informed treatment approach; he has trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, behavioral activation, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness, but incorporates psychodynamic and relational approaches when appropriate and helpful.
Joe earned a Master of Science in Social Work (MSSW) in Advanced Clinical Practice from Columbia University, where he was a member of the DBT Training Program and Lab through the Behavioral Tech Institute. Prior to his therapeutic training, Joe spent 15 years in management consulting and investing, where he gained extensive experience managing and supporting individuals and teams in highly stressful, perfectionistic corporate environments. He also has a B.A. in French Studies from Dartmouth College and an M.B.A. from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.
When not supporting clients, Joe enjoys running, biking, traveling, art museum-hopping, and nerding out on New York City architecture and infrastructure.
