Hi name is Justien, she/her/hers, and I am the owner of Soothing Sands Therapy, LLC. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and young adults. I am fascinated with how the brain works finding ways to make the growth process go as smoothly as possible. It is because of my interest in brain development that I have found alternative ways to do therapy other than talking. When we think about adolescent and adolescent years, we just want to survive it but my passion is to help others not only get through it, but thrive through those years. I am also available to provide supervision to individuals in candidacy.

As a mom of two littles, I recognize the struggle of modern parenthood, and the solitude in which many parents find themselves. It is difficult to be the whole village raising children. There is also a sense of putting the needs of children and family before yourself, losing your identity in the process. I aim to help parents balance their identity and needs with the needs of their families.

When I close my eyes and think about therapy, I envision a human carrying a little too much for a little too long, just seeking a little relief; someone to help them carry it all. I'd love to be that person for you. I work with individuals who are seeking healing from challenging/codependent relationships, trauma, navigating grief and loss, depression and anxiety, and/or simply have a desire to be in loving, therapeutic contact with some incredible animals on your healing path. As Ram Dass says, at the end of the day we are all just walking each other home. Let's help you return to "home".

Struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, or however your distress manifests makes us feel trapped, in cycles of outbursts or avoidance, and coping in ways that are not sustainable. We blame ourselves bringing us further from feeling connected and closer to feeling ashamed. Typically what we see on the surface is mistaken for ourself and is our way to cope with the issues that lie underneath. Therapy is creating a compassionate and purposeful environment to dive into deeper issues, seeing how these issues present in daily life, and developing relevant skills to free ourselves from these issues.
