Joy Ubani is a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee supervised by Ricky Jackson, M.S., LMFT (#MFT83813). She earned her Master of Science in Psychology in London and is currently completing her Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University.

With kindness, compassion, and curiosity, Joy has a heart for helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s transitions with greater self-awareness, confidence, and emotional resilience. She believes healing begins with radical honesty, meaningful reflection, and the courage to embrace new possibilities. She has long been passionate about helping others move beyond simply coping and toward lives marked by authenticity, balance, and intention.
Joy has a deep interest in working with individuals navigating identity development, perfectionism, burnout, and major life transitions; couples seeking to strengthen communication and rebuild connection; and families working through seasons of change and relational challenges.

Alongside her clinical training, Joy had dedicated her career to helping others flourish through community-building, speaking, and writing focused on personal growth, relationships, and psychoeducation.
Through a culturally responsive lens, Joy brings insight and intuition into the room. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, life transitions, or a desire for deeper self-understanding, her focus is on helping you feel more aligned and empowered.
