About me
Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. I have a deep passion for understanding the human experience and supporting individuals as they overcome the barriers that prevent them from becoming their ideal selves. With nearly eight years of experience in the mental health field, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, families, parents, and guardians from diverse backgrounds. My work has focused on helping clients navigate a wide range of challenges, including emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, relationship issues, and negative thought patterns. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where individuals can explore, grow, and develop practical tools for lasting change.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll begin with brief introductions and then explore the specific challenges you’re facing, as well as your goals for therapy. This conversation will help me better understand your needs and allow us to create a personalized plan to guide our work together in future sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
With over eight years of experience working with adolescents, parents, families, and adults facing a wide range of challenges—from mild concerns to more severe issues—I’ve developed a strong ability to identify the root causes of your struggles. Drawing from this experience, I tailor practical tools, skills, and strategies to fit your unique needs and life circumstances. My goal is to help you manage life more effectively and support you in achieving meaningful, lasting change.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with clients—ranging from adolescents to adults—who are navigating challenges related to self-esteem, overwhelming thoughts, family and relational issues, or a search for meaning in life. My clients are often ready for change and are seeking practical tools to help them find peace—whether that means managing intrusive thoughts, regulating difficult emotions, or improving their relationships. Many come to therapy feeling stuck, anxious, or as if their lives are out of control, and together we work toward clarity, confidence, and growth.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use this approach to help you understand how your thoughts affect your feelings and actions. Together, we work on identifying negative thinking patterns that may be causing stress in your life and change them by learning more helpful ways to respond to this stress, anxiety, or other challenges in your life.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Life can be very busy and stressful at times which causes us to think about our stresses, our future and even our past. I use this therapy to help you slow down and become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences without judgment. This can help you reduce anxiety, stay present, and respond more calmly to life’s stressors.

He's open and flexible to listen to what I impulsively feel I need to discuss but he always brings it back and aligns our session to my goals to keep me on track to getting better.

I have had a great experience with Justin over the past few months. He has helped me organize my thoughts and change the view of my problems to better move forward. I really appreciate his solutions oriented approach, but he is also very understanding and personable. I would recommend him to any friends and family who were looking for a counselor to help work on themselves and manage this crazy world we live in
