Welcome! My name is Justin and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in a variety of settings, from schools to shelters to community mental health clinics, and with a range of clients, from children to older adults. I have found that across all settings and people, the most important aspect of therapy is developing a relationship in which the client feels safe, respected, and connected. This will be my priority while I join you on your journey to healing.

I have nearly 15 years of experience supporting adults and professionals who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. I’m licensed in NY, NJ, Arizona and Florida, and my focus is on creating a warm, safe, and collaborative space where we can work toward your goals together.

I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful growth. You are the captain of the ship, guiding the direction of your healing, and I serve as a trusted co-captain helping you navigate the course. I may offer tools or “homework” to support your progress between sessions, but I also value simply holding space for you to reflect and be yourself.

Compassion and integrity are central to my therapeutic process—I show up with consistency, care, and professionalism so you always feel supported and understood. Together, we’ll focus on cultivating deeper self-awareness, emotional balance, and more fulfilling connections in your life.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual.
