Justin offers a collaborative therapeutic counseling space for clients to contact their own capacities for healing, self-awareness, compassion, acceptance, empowerment and confidence.
Justin holds a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Naropa University, Boulder, CO. He values providing a stable, patient, compassionate source of support for clients to find their way - whether it be seeking meaning and satisfaction in life, more peace and connection in relationships, healing old wounds, working with chronic pain, reducing the power of difficult habits and behaviors, issues with spirituality, or achieving specific goals.Justin's relational therapy approach is present-centered, person-centered, and embodied, using a blend of talk therapy, cognitive therapy, mindfulness, and body-based somatic methods. To work on certain issues of trauma, emotional blockages, dilemmas, pain, or performance issues, he invites in the Brainspotting technique as an option. Brainspotting is a very simple and powerful method that directly works with the deep brain and body using eye gaze and mindful feeling. He also teaches a somatic Tibetan yoga healing method called Kum Nye that helps with grounding, relaxation, emotional healing and wellbeing. He has led workshops and courses on mindfulness and developing compassion in the US and Canada.Originally from Virginia, Justin has lived out West for most of his adult life, with many years in Colorado, and enjoys being in nature, exercise, sports, yoga and reading.
In addition to my graduate degree in clinical mental health counseling, I have completed formal education and training in Buddhist psychology, theory and meditation practice, as well as certified training in a secular healing method of Tibetan yoga called Kum Nye. I also received a degree in Religious Studies where I developed and enjoy (what I believe to be a very open) pluralistic view of human spirituality, religion and religious dialogue. I have led educational courses and meditation programs, both Buddhist and secular, for a variety of communities in the US and Canada since 2018.
