I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience working with clients in community mental health and private practice. In both, I have provided my client's with tools to overcome life challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, co-occurring disorders, along with self-esteem and relationship struggles. I have a passion for both education and counseling for purposeful healing. Together, my passions help my clients overcome past and present experiences and assist with their transformation into successful, empowered, and healthy individuals.
Our therapeutic relationship is built on trust and safety. My approach is client-centered and strength-based with a focus on the therapeutic alliance as the basis of change. I utilize an eclectic array of techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Therapy enables a person to achieve their greatest potential while identifying their strengths and areas of growth. Allow me to be a part of your journey as you push through discomfort and emotional pain while recognizing negative, self-defeating patterns to build self-awareness and a healthier relationship with yourself and others.
I'm Justin, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Qualified Supervisor (QS), and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). My passion lies in helping you and your entire family heal from past wounds and foster a greater sense of curiosity, compassion and connection with one another.
I view myself as a compassionate guide equipped with the tools to support you in self-exploration. Together, we'll work towards improving your communication skills with loved ones, overcoming protective barriers that hinder authentic connections and addressing the wounds that hold you back from greatness.
With more than 35 years of experience in healthcare, including nine years as a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, individualized mental health care in a safe and supportive environment. My extensive nursing background has taught me that healing begins by listening with empathy, treating each person with dignity, and recognizing that every individual's journey is unique.
I earned my Doctorate Degree of Science in Nursing/Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner from University of North Florida and have devoted my career to helping adults achieve emotional wellness through evidence-based, patient-centered care. I believe in building strong therapeutic relationships where patients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment decisions.
My practice focuses on the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of adults experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, insomnia, and other mental health concerns. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychoeducation, and supportive counseling while considering the whole person—not just the diagnosis.
Whether you are seeking care for the first time or continuing your mental health journey, my goal is to partner with you in developing a personalized treatment plan that promotes healing, resilience, and long-term well-being. I consider it a privilege to support my patients as they work toward living healthier, more fulfilling lives.
