In my practice, I believe we have two types of relationships: the relationship we have with ourselves, and the relationships we have with others. When you have been hurt by others, it may become more challenging to love yourself. You begin to think, “ What did I do wrong?”, or “They didn’t want me, so I’m not worth loving”.

Hi there, I'm Julia! For my approach as a therapist, it is of the highest importance for clients to feel seen, heard, understood, and respected. Research shows that the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client can determine therapy outcomes, so I greatly value the connection made between myself as a therapist and you as the client. I recognize the vulnerability and reaching out for help isn’t easy, so my approach could be described as non-judgmental, curious, warm, empowering, empathetic, and client-centered to facilitate a safe space.

Welcome! I work with BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), immigrants, Asian, and LQBQT+ identifying teens and adults. I specialize in immigration, intergenerational, and childhood traumas.

My 20+ years of experience healing from traumas and navigating systemic barriers deepens my understanding that the inner work can feel overwhelming and vulnerable. I honor each client’s unique experience and provide trauma-informed care that is culturally affirming and sensitive.

If you are reading this, you are likely dealing with a tough situation and want to cope or make a change.

Are you struggling with increased stress in your life related to anxiety, depression, problems at home, school, relationship issues with peers, dating, family or other life transitions?

Are you a performer who devotes a large percentage of time to physically, strategically, technically training for a competition/performance but come game day doesn't feel the performance equals your true skills and abilities? Are you a student who studies hard, knows the material yet doesn't do well on the test, or a business person who has difficulty showing up in the boardroom? Non-performance mental factors are often the culprit. People spend a lot of time on physical or material preparation but rarely is time spent on customizing a mental training routine. Want to try a fresh start in reaching your goals?
