JZ BIO, Therapist

Justin has been in service to young women and family systems for more than 25 years. His work stems largely from functioning as Academic Director in a therapeutic boarding school setting, and reaches as far back as 1991 where he co-facilitated the experience of the National Youth Delegation to the President’s Council of Sustainable Development during the Clinton administration. His educational philosophy stems from his strong belief that “relationships make the world turn,” literally and figuratively. “The value of relationships cannot be overstated.” Working with young women so they can navigate the complexities of life, live with a deep-seated core strength, manage personal resilience, and pursue their intellectual curiosities with conviction is Justin’s personal mission. His contributions, as a therapist, will continue to foster opportunities for Sedona Sky students to connect with their innate strengths as young women, so they can function as healthy and productive members of their community.

Justin has a MA from Prescott College where he focused on Sustainable Community Development. He received his MEd from Northern Arizona University studying Education Leadership. Justin lives in Prescott, Arizona, where his passion for the outdoors begins; gardening, orchard keeping, and beekeeping, are a few of his pursuits. He also spends time exploring the southwest with his family, mountain biking, and enjoying high country of northcentral Arizona.
