Justin is a master’s-level, licensed associate therapist who provides individual counseling to teenagers, young adults, and adults, as well as couples counseling for adult couples. He earned his Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Holy Family University and is currently working toward full licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

He is passionate about helping clients navigate life transitions, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and feel more in control of their thoughts, emotions, and choices. Whether someone is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to begin, Justin offers a trauma-informed, safe, supportive space to explore and grow, at the client’s pace and on their terms. In couples counseling, he works collaboratively with partners to improve communication, rebuild trust, navigate conflict, and better understand the patterns that keep them feeling disconnected from one another.

His approach is person-centered, practical, and rooted in evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). He has received direct training from the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy and additional training through the Gottman Institute for couples counseling, which continue to inform his work with both individuals and couples.

Before becoming a therapist, Justin worked as a behavior technician, supporting young adults and families in their homes. That experience taught him the importance of meeting people where they are, both literally and emotionally. Today, he brings that same mindset into his therapy practice by blending structured therapeutic techniques with an interactive, conversational, and down-to-earth style. He often incorporates humor, hands-on activities, real-life examples, and, most importantly, collaboration with his clients to keep the process approachable and produce meaningful results.
