Approach

I specialize in virtual, trauma-informed therapy and assessment for adults. My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and a deep respect for your unique experiences. Therapy is your space. You set the pace, choose what to share, and decide how we communicate. There's no pressure to "get it right" - we'll find what works for you!

I am particularly passionate about supporting:

• Neurodivergent adults

• LGBTQIA+ folx

• Healthcare and STEM professionals

• First responders

• Trauma-affected individuals

Values

Co-creating Safety: I believe in building a therapeutic relationship based on trust and understanding, where you feel seen, heard, and empowered.

Undoing Aloneness: I understand how trauma and marginalization can affect you, and I am dedicated to helping you reconnect with yourself and others. Many people have experiences that may feel isolating. Whether it's anxiety, trauma, or the daily struggles of being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world, your feelings are valid. Together, we will develop tools for self-awareness and connection.

Person-in-Environment Perspective: I recognize that your environment influences your experiences, and I will collaborate with you to address systemic factors that may be affecting your well-being. 

Real Change, Real Support: I use a variety of modalities, primarily ACT, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and Rogerian therapy, and we'll develop practical tools that match your needs and strengths. No one-size-fits-all solutions – just genuine support tailored to you.

About Justin (He/They)

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over ten years of experience, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to our work together. Being queer and neurodivergent has taught me the importance of creating spaces where others can feel seen and accepted.

Your Story Matters

You deserve to feel understood, supported, and empowered to live authentically. Healing and growth are possible for everyone, and I am deeply committed to the resilience of the human spirit. Whether you're ready to reach out now or just exploring your options, know that your timing is perfect. There is no "right" way to start therapy. Taking this moment to consider therapy already shows courage and reverence for self. Whenever you're ready, I’m here to support you. Your journey to this point matters, just as every step forward does.
