YOUR FREEDOM TO CHOOSE HOW YOU WILL RESPOND TO THE SITUATION"

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.
