I highly recommend Justin as a therapist. He is an excellent listener who creates a calm, supportive space that makes it easier to open up. In just a few sessions, he has helped me see things about myself more clearly by offering thoughtful, well-timed prompts and constructive directions for reflection.
Justin is both insightful and genuinely understanding, and he is also very responsive when communicating between sessions. I’ve found his approach to be grounding, practical, and deeply helpful in moving my work forward.

I have been working with Justin for around a year and his support, guidance, compassion, and insight has been a game changing piece in helping me put my life back together. He is very patient and is able to see my blind spots and gently bring them to my attention. I’ve gotten some incredible clarity over my past because of this that has helped me let go and move forward in my life. Justin makes me feel like someone is rooting for my success in life and is one of my greatest encouragers even when things look unfixable. I couldn’t have made it this far without his help and for that, I highly recommend Justin as a therapist.
