Hi, I’m Justine.

I believe that healing is more art than science, and that the most-valuable instrument in your healing toolkit is YOU!

I would be honored to support you as you come to know and truly embrace your healer-artist-Self.

Now offering supervision, consultation, and mentoring for healers and leaders.

Your work matters, but you matter more.

Services

Individual/Dyadic Supervision - $125/hr

Individual supervision sessions are for Marriage and Family Therapy trainees and are typically held in 1 hour blocks weekly or bi-weekly. Dyadic Supervision sessions for MFT trainees are typically held in 1.5 hour blocks bi-weekly.

Mentorship - $125/hr

These meetings are for emerging professionals who either do not need or do not fit criteria for “supervision.” These sessions are typically held in 1 hour blocks weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.

Professional Consultation for Healers - $150/hr

The need for support doesn’t end once your career begins. I offer professional consultation for licensed therapists, professional coaches, and other healers seeking guidance. These meetings can be “one-offs,” short-term, or long-term/regularly-scheduled, depending on your needs.

Supervision Mentoring – $175

Supervision Mentoring (supervision-of-supervision) available for AAMFT supervisor candidates. These meetings are typically held in 1 or 1.5 hour blocks, meeting bi-weekly or monthly.

Professional Consultation for Leaders - $200/hr

Leadership can feel isolating, but you aren’t alone. I am honored to support therapy supervisors, educators, and other professional leaders in your vital work. These meetings can be “one-offs,” short-term, or long-term/regularly-scheduled, depending on your needs.

Student Support - $80/hr

Therapy school is a unique experience that few people can understand. Sometimes you need a place to talk through the experience and to get support with what you’re learning and how you’re learning it. Whether you could use guidance with theory, practicum, or tricky school dynamics, I’ve got you.

These meetings are heavily discounted in an effort to more-affordably support those still undergoing their studies.

Group Supervision - $50/hr

Supervision groups are for Marriage and Family Therapy trainees, and are typically held in 4 hour blocks. Groups have a maximum of 6 attendees and a minimum of 4 attendees.

I don’t have any groups currently running–but groups are created when enough interest exists, so please reach out!

Some Ways That I Can Support You

This list is not exhaustive! I’m happy to discuss other ways that I can support you on your healer/leader journey.

  • In order to support others, we must have an understanding of our own inner world. This means we must often confront ghosts from our past that waft into the therapy and supervision room. I consider it a privilege to sit with you as your ghosts share their unfinished business and move on to what’s next. If we find that a ghost is sharing something about a present situation, such as your current work environment, we might begin to get curious about whether this is burnout or moral Injury and make a healing plan for moving forward.

    *though this work may be therapeutic, it is not therapy

  • Client conceptualization is a staple of the supervisory experience. In our work together, these conceptualizations will go deeper than simply deciding what interventions to use in therapy sessions. I will invite you to explore the multiplicity of your client’s identity and experience from a place of compassionate curiosity. We will also explore your experiences with your clients and what they bring forward for/from you—I believe that self-of-the-therapist work is inextricably linked with client conceptualization.

  • I am a certified IFS Therapist through IFS-I. This credential required years of work and training, and has given me unique insight into using the model, as well as a lens to see myself and those around me. I would be honored to walk with you as you deepen your own understanding of your Self and your parts, and invite your clients/supervisees/community to do the same.

    *this is not considered training or “IFS Consultation” by IFS-I

  • Would you like to hone your technique using Narrative Therapy with clients or supervisees? I used this modality for over ten years, and have found it to be effective with clients/supervisees, and fun for me and them! So let’s work on our externalization, and remember that the person is not the problem–the problem is the problem.

  • Many of our clients/supervisees speak the language of stories, and understanding the stories that speak to them can help with rapport, as well as healing. As a pop culture psychology expert, I have a vast breadth and depth of knowledge around different fandoms and how they can be utilized in a healing way and would love to journey through the multiverse with you.

  • It’s difficult to be your authentic self in your work, because you’ve been taught to hide so much of yourself. I believe that showing up as our authentic selves is inherently healing, as it models for our clients/supervisees that they are also allowed to be themselves. Maybe you’ve even forgotten how to dream about what’s possible, and be creative in your work, which can leave anyone feeling stagnant. 

    Here are some ways that I can support your authenticity journey

    • Creativity nurturing

      • Let’s talk about what you’re doing in your work right now–what’s sparking joy and what isn’t. Let’s see if there’s room to dream something new!

    • Career reflection

      • Are you where you want to be in your career? How is your current job treating you? Let’s discuss how aligned your work is with your values, and whether any changes could help improve your life.

    • Psychology Today (or other online profile) critique with substantive feedback to show your true self and get the clients/supervisees you want!

    • Copywriting generation support.

      • I can help you get your ideas down on paper, even if you aren’t a “writer.”

    • Graphic Design creation support.

      • We got into this business to talk to folks, not to make flyers! Don’t worry, I’ve made plenty and I will talk you through it.

    • Presentation/workshop/training/curriculum creation support

      • Have you been wanting to make a presentation, training or workshop, but don’t know where to start? I’ve done dozens and would be happy to help you build curricula that will not only wow your attendees, but will be true to who you are as a person and a healer.

Endorsements

  • "Justine's supervision is ethical, practical, collaborative, thoughtful and connected. It differed from other supervision I was getting at the time because I never felt expected to practice like her; I was supported in practicing like ME."

    ~ Emma, LMFT

    Supervisee 2022-2026

  • "There’s this sense of legacy and community Justine carries into supervision. She would give context of past wisdom from her own experiences with her past supervisors and the folks she’s worked with. It really helped strengthen my sense that the process of therapy is about connecting as humans and that none of us are on this journey alone."

    ~ Mason, LMFT

    Supervisee 2023-2026

  • "My work with Justine helped build my confidence as a therapist because of the way her empowering questions allowed me to decide how I wanted to practice and show up with my clients. She also helped me re-orient to what my role is as a therapist."

    ~ Anna, LMFT

    Supervisee 2024-2025

  • "Justine helped me rewrite the narrative I had given myself about who a therapist is and how a therapist acts effectively encouraging me to find my own authentic voice as a therapist."

    ~ Aja, LMFT

    Supervisee 2022-2026

    ~ John, LMFT

    Supervisee 2023-2026

  • "Working with Justine empowered me to trust myself more fully as a therapist and to embrace my own unique way of practicing. She helped me move away from the idea that I needed to be a “perfect” or “blank slate” therapist and gave me permission to bring my full humanity into the work."

FAQ

  • While these terms are similar in lay vernacular, they have more specific meanings in the therapy industry.

    “Supervision” is a specific relationship in the therapy world, in which an experienced and specialty-trained senior clinician supports an emerging clinician towards fulfilling licensure requirements. The rules guiding licensure are different state to state and across licenses, but emerging clinicians are required to “work under” supervision during their pre-clinical years. When I use the term “supervision,” I am speaking exclusively about this relationship.

    “Consultation” refers to a meeting between professionals. So when an emerging clinician becomes fully licensed, they are no longer “under supervision” and any support they seek/receive becomes “consultation.”

    “Mentoring” in regards to MFT supervision, refers to a senior supervisor who is supporting a supervisor-in-training working towards the AAMFT-Approved Supervisor credential. I also use “mentoring” to refer to any relationship (outside of supervision) where a more experienced professional is supporting an emerging one.

    If you aren’t sure which service is right for you, please just reach out!

  • I am no longer seeing clients for therapy, so I cannot take you (or your loved one) on as a client. And unfortunately I cannot respond to requests for therapy referrals. Due to the volume of emails I receive, requests for therapy referrals will not be returned.

    You can find links to several of my past supervisees’ practices under “supervisee stories” on this website.

  • I am an AAMFT-Approved Supervisor and Supervision mentor, and am also an approved supervisor only with the Minnesota Board of MFT.

    If you are working towards a licensure different than LMFT, check your board’s guidelines on supervision.

    For MFTs, most state licensing boards require your supervisor to be licensed in your state. So, if you are a pre-licensed (associate) MFT trainee looking for supervision outside of MN, and you want these hours to count as supervision towards your licensure, please check your local licensure guidelines before reaching out!

    That said, if you find that these hours would not count as supervision hours, but you still want to discuss meeting together as part of your personal development, I am happy to do that!

  • Yes! I do all meetings virtually over Zoom.

  • “ABD” means “all but dissertation.” These letters indicate that I am a doctoral candidate—having completed all of my doctoral coursework, and now working on completing my dissertation. I expect to complete my PhD in August of 2027.

    “LMFT” stands for “licensed marriage and family therapist.”
