Justine (she/her) is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT 129298) providing psychotherapy to adolescents, adults and families in our Mill Valley office and via Zoom for California residents. She works with clients to recognize, develop and harness their own innate strengths to meet the challenges they face in their lives. Justine helps clients to address pressing, immediate concerns, while also pursuing deeper exploration to build greater understanding, growth and resilience. Her hope is that clients will gain the tools and self awareness to be able to meet new challenges long after they have left therapy.

Justine’s approach is strengths-based, client-centered, and non-judgmental, and she believes in the vital importance of a strong relationship between the therapist and the client. She takes a collaborative and active role with her clients, and adjusts treatment to meet the needs of each client, bringing in tools from a variety of approaches.

Justine joined Headlands in 2021 with experience supporting older adults, adults, adolescents, couples and families. She has worked with clients on issues including trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, parenting, relationships, life transitions, and body image/disordered eating. Fluent in Spanish, she participates in county-wide initiatives to improve mental health services and prevention programs for at-risk and Spanish-speaking newcomer youth. Justine is a mother of two and has lived experience and deep empathy for the challenges faced by both adolescents and their parents.
