My name is Justine, and I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience working with adults. I enjoy getting to know my patients, and developing strategies together that make life happier and more fulfilling. I bring my clinical training and experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and my clients bring their in depth knowledge of themselves, their goals, and personal values.

Whether you are coping with depression, sexuality issues, struggling with chronic illness or addiction issues, or having problems in your relationships with others, I believe that therapy can help you find the solutions to move forward in your life. I believe that all individuals have the capacity to live their best life and can become 'unstuck' with the help of therapy. I work with adults, both younger and older, cis women and trans & non-binary clients, as well as with couples navigating problems in their relationships.

As a psychotherapist, I meet clients where they are, honoring their unique life experiences and tailoring strategies to their specific needs. I see therapy as a collaborative partnership, where deep listening, curiosity, and respect create the foundation for meaningful growth and well-being. Effective therapy relies on an authentic connection between therapist and client, and I view myself as a fellow traveler on this journey. Committed to my own growth and transformation, I am fully present to support my clients as they navigate their paths toward self-awareness and positive change.

I believe beginning therapy takes courage and I have the utmost respect for anyone taking that risk. I strive to create a warm space of acceptance for wherever you may be in your journey. For as long as I can remember I've been interested in people's stories. It's not surprising that I ended up doing the work I do. As a therapist, I listen to a person and help them make sense of both their struggles and their strengths. I help my clients find meaning in their experience and move forward to create new stories about themselves and the world around them.

In our work together, my intention is to help you break away from the maladaptive thought patterns, emotions, actions, and external circumstances that keep you stuck in an unwanted experience. My goal is to help you create progress towards the life you do want for yourself. I’ll want to understand the changes you’d like to see in yourself. With this in mind, I’ll want to identify the behaviors you’d like to demonstrate, the lasting emotions you’d like to feel, and the outcomes you’d like to see present themselves in your life. With that information, we'll set the overall goals for therapy. Now providing Psychedelic Assisted Therapy.

Therapy is a way to find out what is real. It is an opportunity to explore the byways of your past, future, and present selves. It’s a chance to seek truth, safety, vulnerability, belonging, and your unknown parts. As waves of sensations, thoughts, urges, and habitual impulses come crashing over you it can be healing to have a safe, understanding, empathetic, and objective person to turn to. I offer clients a caring perspective, emotional holding, honesty, dependability, and hope.

Whether you are facing transitional or deeply rooted challenges, psychotherapy is a powerful way to regain balance, and bring back meaning and a sense of purpose in your life. You might find yourself at a time when you feel stuck, struggling with various difficulties. It is my goal to support you in uncovering patterns that no longer serve you and in fostering new experiences to support your own growth.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to adults and teens who are looking for support with anxiety and depression.

There are many things that draw us to therapy. Some arrive struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or career uncertainty. Some are having difficulty managing the roller coaster of emotions inherent in the peri- and postpartum experience. Others feel stuck in patterns that don't seem to serve them. While others are curious to discover who they are uniquely meant to be. Whatever your goals and challenges, I welcome the opportunity to see whether I may be a good fit for your journey. ​

Perhaps you reached the top of the mountain only to ask, now what? An adamant voice says there is no life worth leading unless you are exceptional. Or you manage things on the surface seamlessly only to feel overwhelmed behind closed doors. It would make so much sense. Our environment has demanded more in recent times—be more, do more, have more—all at once. It is not by chance we exist in the age of superheroes and social media. There are bigger shoes for us and our children to grow into yet not enough room to play or tend to the inner person. Perhaps we learned ways to survive that no longer serve us.
