About Me
I use research-oriented and action-driven interventions to help families and couples, kids and teens, and individual members of our community change for the better, so they can find peace and joy in their lives.
My mission is to help as many members of our community as possible become happy, healthy and whole. I recognize that different people have different needs and preferences when it comes to taking care of their mental health. So I provide therapy services that specifically address the nuances in the mental health needs of each of our clients.
Hi, I’m Justin!
Hi, I’m a licensed professional counselor and the owner of Summit Ridge Counseling. Every day, I get to walk alongside people as they work toward healing, growth, and wholeness—and I truly love what I do.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages and from all walks of life. While I enjoy supporting a wide range of clients, my heart is especially drawn to kids, teens, families, and couples. I find so much meaning in helping families communicate better, strengthen their relationships, and create healthier patterns together.
I’m trained in helping children and adolescents work through challenges like ADHD, anxiety, depression, oppositional behavior, and other struggles that show up at home or in school. I also have advanced training in the Gottman Method, a research-based approach that helps couples improve communication, deepen connection, and build a more fulfilling life together.
My approach to therapy comes from a place of genuine spirituality—not in a preachy way, but in a way that honors your personal beliefs and story. If faith is an important part of your life, we can integrate that into your sessions. If not, that’s completely okay too. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and help you move toward becoming the healthiest, most whole version of yourself.
I started Summit Ridge Counseling with a simple goal: to create a warm, supportive space where people can find hope, clarity, and healing. Whether you’re here for yourself, your child, or your relationship, I’m here to help you feel seen, supported, and equipped for lasting change.
