ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
Hi my name is Justien, my pronouns are she/her/hers and I am the owner of Soothing Sands Therapy. My therapy journey started when I was an adolescent who was forced to go see a therapist. It felt nice to have someone finally validate my feelings and educate me on the ones I was unaware of. I learned the power of therapy and since then I have pursued my dream of becoming a child and adolescent therapist.
If you're unsure about therapy, or myself, please feel free to reach out to me. The first step to any therapeutic process is to build trust and a relationship. My goal is to start our process with you feeling as comfortable as possible.

EXPERIENCE
I graduated from Regis University with a Masters of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health. Prior to that, I went to school at Colorado State University - Pueblo and got my Bachelors in Psychology. I have worked with children and adolescents, for over 10 years, in a variety of capacities. I started as a babysitter, who evolved into a nanny. In addition, I was a case manager for individuals between 0-21 who had a range of physical and mental disabilities, as well as an elementary school counselor. In my spare time, I also work as a kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai coach.
