First off, thank you for being brave enough to take this first step in this journey! Navigating life at any age often brings challenges that are unpredictable, leaving a need of searching for belonging. I believe you deserve to feel confident in your inherent worth and that you belong—always. As a queer woman of color and as a therapist, I understand the importance of having a space where you can be your truest self. I prioritize healing mediums that resonate most with you, whether that’s through movies, musicals, anime, or even memes (and 10 house points to Hufflepuff if you bring me a therapy meme I haven’t seen before)!

Discovering and disclosing your identity can be anxiety provoking. I partner with folks to navigate this journey including LGBTQIA+, Transgender, Faith Transitions, and Ex Mormon communities. Perhaps you've had questions about your identity your entire life that you've kept in the back of your mind. Or maybe some article or video just sparked something for you now. Not feeling trans enough? Can't wait to transition? It can feel daunting task to contemplate coming out. It can feel even more rewarding to live in a way that feels free and happy. I can't wait to see you happy and at peace.

Reaching out for support can be difficult. Often when we finally decide to reach out we are already experiencing overwhelm and feeling discouraged. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety, having difficulty sleeping, being more irritable than usual, or having difficulty enjoying things in your day to day life. If you've experienced trauma you could be struggling with flashbacks, fear, avoidance, and difficulty moving forward in you life. Maybe your child or teen is having new behaviors, tantrums, isolation, or difficulty with connection. I am here for all of you and will stand with you on your healing journey.

Have you ever experienced a difficulty that left you feeling isolated? Or a relationship that just didn’t make sense? These are all parts of being human but can leave us feeling unsettled, disconnected, confused, and hurt. I genuinely enjoy connecting with people, hearing their stories, and helping them through the hard times. Above all else, I find it important to create a safe space for my clients to feel secure enough to speak openly and show the more vulnerable parts of themselves. I do this by creating an environment of trust based on direct and authentic communication.

Maybe you're feeling stuck in the same cycles you can't seem to break out of. Maybe you're struggling to maintain relationships that feel safe and supportive. Maybe you know that you've been impacted by the painful experiences you've had, but you don't know where to start with unpacking them. It can be scary to face your pain, and you deserve support. You're not too much, and you're not alone. I want to support you with deepening your self-understanding and self-compassion. Healing is possible when you're ready to start.

Feeling like "It's me, HI, I'm the problem it's me"? The anxiety and overwhelm just feel too much and you're looking for a place to unpack some painful memories from the past. As you've gotten older, navigated relationships, or have had children of your own, you have really been struggling to feel confident and find clarity in navigating life's challenges. I'm Julia and I help adults work through generational (complex) trauma alleviate their anxiety, change patterns of perfectionism, people pleasing, and codependency and connect deeply with themselves and those they love. Let's break cycles of generational trauma together!

As a therapist and as a fellow human being, I have come to know trauma. More importantly, I have seen the other side of trauma, and to experience and bear witness to this type of profound healing is awe-inspiring. I am a trauma specialist who provides therapy for children, adolescents, and adults suffering from the impacts of traumatic experiences including sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, maltreatment, neglect, life threatening/life changing events, and grief or loss.

As a queer, person of color, I believe in creating a non-judgmental and culturally sensitive space to assist clients in creating a life that they love. Due to the pandemic, many of us have had more time for reflection than we might have had in the past. Maybe this time of reflection has caused you to question your identity, gender or sexuality. Exploring and integrating your gender or sexuality can feel overwhelming, especially in a world that can be hostile to LGBT/Queer people, but you do not have to do it alone. Seeking help takes courage. You are courageous.

Do you feel exhausted? Overwhelmed? Have your relationships been challenged in the last few years? You’re doing the best you can, but it feels like it’s never enough. You focus on everyone around you and find it hard to set aside time for yourself. The stories we tell about ourselves impact the way we see the world. Often, these stories come with assumptions and attitudes that get in the way of living an authentic life.
