About me

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I have been in the field for 13 years. I currently work as the clinical director of an agency that focuses on preventing children from being removed from their home and placed in county custody for events related to abuse and neglect. In the past, I have worked as a hospital crisis counselor, I have worked at private practices, and I have worked as the clinical director of a school for emotionally disturbed children. I work with children, adults, couples, and families.

I am a fully licensed therapist with a supervisory credential. This means that I have been supervising therapists for almost a decade. Currently, I help therapist utilize effective strategies and interventions to help them prevent disruptions in the homes they serve and I assist therapists in helping parents and children more effectively communicate to each other.

My clinical style is direct and empathetic. I use a number of different clinical strategies and interventions to help my clients achieve their goals. I also have an extensive background in working with trauma. This includes working with individuals who have experience emotion abuse, physical abuse, and neglect. Throughout my career, I have utilized cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy to help individual clients with their various issues and struggles. I believe you are the expert of your life and your family and that my role is to support you and offer guidance. I believe that being allowed to participate in your life is a privilege.

Justin has been great to work with. He's always been easy to talk to, listens well, is very direct with me and doesn't try to sugar coat things but Still comes across in a gentle unswesranding way (I asked him to be very direct with me). 5+ stars.

Justin is very supportive and practical with his knowledge and expertise. He takes the time to thoroughly understand your situation, and offers suggestions in a nonjudgmental manner. He has been extremely helpful to me and would recommend him to anyone.

I’ve always been skeptical of therapy. There have been some very low points in my life where I went to reach out for help and the therapist just wasn’t there for me. It felt like there wasn’t a connection so it just did more damage by making me feel unheard. Justin however listens. I can’t imagine ever seeing a different therapist because our trust was established and he really does help. He listens and we talk through things as they happen. But he also has opened my eyes to past feelings I never realized I had. I really appreciate him being here for me. Now things are alot better. I’ve been healing and he has helped every step of the way.
