As a cisgender straight male and committed ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, Justin brings a unique perspective to his work.

These experiences have motivated him to be the support for others that he wished for during tough times in his own life.

In therapy sessions with Justin, clients can expect a laid-back atmosphere characterized by relaxed posture and conversational, rather than directional, dialogue. This approach creates a safe haven where men, in particular, can express themselves genuinely without fear of judgment. Justin provides a much-needed space for men to share their stories, deepest emotions, and thoughts freely, challenging societal expectations that often constrain male emotional expression.
