Justin really gets you results. He is a fantastic life…read morecoach and counselor! I was battling with a 'sense of failure' as a father/husband/person due to what I thought was from financial pressures and a lack of empathy, accountability with my was breaking down my relationship with my wife. His counseling experience and deep knowledge of behavioral therapy identified a possible 'Complex Relational trauma response' disorder that my wife showed signs of displaying. Justin helped me understand her trauma response and how I was reacting to her issues with my own issues which triggered her fear, abandoment, frustration, mistrust, and gravitation to conflict which induced my own defensiveness reactions and anger. He provided me with my own personal tools to deploy on a regular basis. These helped me be nice to myself and appreciate my purpose and that I was actually doing my best to improve myself and provide love most importantly. Some of those solutions and tools such as meditation, mindfulness, self awareness/development created personal behavioral changes and coping strategies I now feel better about myself . A relationship tools I really liked was his own self developed 'Oh-Five-X Repair Framework' ( a one page document) which has provided us ability to create a safe place for trust, healing, and recovering from past trauma and experiences in our relationship and personal pasts. I've developed a deeper understanding and awareness of myself and Justin's actionable tools and strategies are much more than what most other life coaches or counselors can deliver. Its his ability to land these strategies/tools on point and get you to understand how to employ them to get better/improve/develop yourself With this guidance I've noticed I've become more empathetic, less reative and more self caring so my family can continue to heal, and our relationship and welfare of ourselves beniftis our family. Justin gets change happening and you get great value for your time and while gaining a true caring friend and an exceptional life coach in your corner.

I worked with Justin as a relationship counselor in my last relationship. Justin was great at…read moresetting up the right space for us to figure things out, and that goes for all dimensions -- mental, physical, spiritual and emotional. He set a tone that made us look beyond ourselves, towards an us. He challenged us to imagine the relationship we wanted while helping us never lose sight of reality as it is. He was also skilled at helping us pivot when the connection was severing and communication was getting derailed by one of our more dysfunctional patterns. In those moments, he would interrupt the process and guide us to feel deeper down. Here we'd often uncover what was driving the seemingly intractable issues we faced. In his sessions, he made sure all paths led back to the love we had for each other. He had an uncanny ability to discern when we were speaking from our heads not our hearts. When conversations devolved into tit for tat or some lower rung on the communication food chain, Justin would be a step ahead and steer us towards a more loving, honest space. I can remember times when he would allow things to play out to their own dead end, and then work with us to find a path back to compassion and love for each other. And a few times, when it would get too heavily charged, Justin would guide us to use mindfulness practices or breathing exercises to regroup. Justin has all the skills a couples' counselor needs to help a couple, and he is very thorough and dedicated to his work. In counsel with Justin, you get the feeling you're working with someone who is hard at work doing their life's work.

If I could add additional stars, I would! CG Designs has made and/or repaired numerous rings and…read morejewelry for my wife and myself. Most recently I asked if Catherine, the owner/designer/fabricator, if she could make me a ring using a gemstone my wife and I purchased on our honeymoon in India some 30 years ago. She dropped what she as doing and spent time sketching out some ideas for how to mount the ring in silver. We settled on a dessign (I wanted a more masculine forefinger ring) and within a week she had a full sized wax model that I could try on and suggest any modifcations ... the model looked great as is! A few days later the ring was finished. It looked awesome and was exactly what I hoped for! I can't say enough about CG Designs.! Catherine is truly a talented artisan/craftsperson and I highly recommend for any jewlery needs but especially design and fabrication!

Never again.. I feel taken advantage of and scammed by this business owner. …read more she messed up and didn't take any responsibility.. My mom passed away a month ago and I wanted to surprise my dad with a cross made out of moms gold wedding band and a bracelet. although the piece was imperfectly nice, 1/3 of gold was missing. I know because the jeweler weighed the original gold before and I weighed it when I got the final product gone. she charged me more for the piece than agreed and than was rude after I shared my experience with she.. she took ZERO responsibility for her lack of communication and took advantage of a first time customer who has NEVER made custom jewelry before.. she told me all her clients I'm the past know that 2 grams of gold will just be lost in the process.. would not use again and won't be recommending.
