Hi, I’m Justin!

I am a licensed therapist located in Wheat Ridge, Colorado embracing an integrative therapy style. This is an adaptive and trauma-informed approach that blends insights from evidence-based treatments such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, EMDR Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, and Attachment Theory. Our time in session together will ultimately focus on strengthening connections between your mind, brain, and body through a therapeutic process tailored for you.

The name ‘Paper Crown Therapy’ reflects the balance between the roles and expectations we carry in life and the very real, often messy, human experience underneath. It’s about acknowledging the pressure to ‘perform’ while also celebrating the courage it takes to step back from our roles and internal and external expectations, embrace the unknown, and find peace and clarity within ourselves. Therapy, for me, is helping people lift that crown just enough to see who they have been, who they are now, and who they are becoming.
