Therapy is a powerful tool for changing relationships with your partner, family, or other significant people. Most importantly, therapy can transform your relationship with yourself. My more than 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist has shown that when people improve how they treat and view themselves, even in small ways, the benefits are enormous: less stress, emotional turmoil, anxiety, and negative thinking; more confidence, contentment, life balance, and self-acceptance; and better communication with those you love.

My passion has always been to help people alleviate symptoms that interfere with their quality of life, in order to live a more fulfilling, purposeful and balanced life. To facilitate this process, I provide a warm and supportive environment with respectful and non-judgmental listening to your personal concerns. My style is active and goal-oriented, I use encouragement and offer new perspectives and tools. I help guide clients through challenging situations to discover solutions to the issues that bring them to therapy. Since each person's situation is unique, my treatment approach is individualized depending on your particular needs and goals.

My objective is to make your life better now and into the future. Therapists helped me over the years, taught and inspired me to become one. I pivoted to my career as a therapist 16 years after earning a B.A. in Economics at University of Chicago. I earned my LCSW at Smith College. I'm a mother of two and a first-generation child of immigrants. In my practice I want you to make the most of your time with me. I work with a range of clients, from executives to college students. My office is tucked into hills and trees. Clients are from my town, Mill Valley, Sausalito, Kentfield, Tiburon, San Francisco and the South Bay. I Zoom too.

I teach children and their parents, teens, and adults how to live more enjoyable and fulfilling lives released from the grip of anxiety, worry, or depression. I bring my practice of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy along with my experience as an educator to every session, helping clients learn skills that empower them to experience life in a more fulfilling and satisfying way. I use the most effective research-based treatments for OCD and for uncontrollable hair pulling/skin picking behaviors.

I work with adults and teens who are stuck and want to try something different. Come if you're anxious, depressed, grieving, dealing with relationship issues, low self esteem or one of life's many transitions. I appreciate clients who are willing to participate in their self-exploration. This might include trying some art, music, writing, guided imagery or EMDR. My clinical experience includes: intensive in-patient and out-patient treatment at UCSF Langley Porter, Bereavement Counseling at Hospice, on-site school counselor at elementary and middle schools and personal growth through social justice performances with incarcerated men

Hey there, I'm Julie! I am passionate about helping teens, adults, and families navigate life's challenges such as depression, anxiety, stress, identity exploration, self-esteem, communication struggles, conflict resolution, parenting issues, and life transitions.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience working with individuals and families on their journey to improve their mental health and well-being. I provide a safe, caring, non-judgmental, and strength based approach.

For nearly 20 years I have worked with teens and adults in a variety of settings to help them navigate challenges in their lives and build more meaningful relationships. I work from an integrative approach using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a focus on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Relational Psychodynamic Therapy, and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). Likewise, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and related somatic-based interventions.

I approach therapy from a person-centered focus looking to create solutions and change. I offer a safe, non-judgmental, and understanding environment to facilitate growth, progress, and healing in a client's everyday life. I have extensive experience working with adults in healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and burnout.

My goal as a therapist is to help my clients learn how to effectively manage anxiety and stress, decrease depression, support positive life transitions, improve social connections, and build effective parenting skills. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, combined with Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, and Client-Centered therapy techniques to help clients navigate the challenges they face. This allows my clients to learn from their life experiences, understand the impacts of their current patterns and decision making, and explore and develop new ways of thinking and acting.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist providing therapy to teens and adults residing in California. I believe that every individual is unique and deserving of love, and I feel that this shines through in my work. Seeking therapy is not always easy, and I’m truly honored to be a part of my Patient’s healing and strengthening processes.

I recognize that seeking therapy is a difficult decision, and I am proud of you for taking the first step! You have already accomplished a big task just by getting started! Sometimes we just need a neutral person to talk to, and I am honored to be that person for you. I have over 10 years of experience working with various populations; teens, at-risk youth, adults, parents/co-parenting, and families. My areas of focus are the following, although not limited to: Depression, Anxiety, Sexual abuse/trauma, Struggles with Sexual Identity, Stress & Burnout, Grief and Loss, Trauma, Relationship Issues, Self-Harm, and Coping Skills.

In my practice I bring compassion, humor, insight, and a sincere dedication to my clients. My practice is grounded in attachment theory, play therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), exposure and response prevention (E/RP), and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). With my warm and welcoming nature, I strive to create a safe space for children, teens and adults to explore their concerns. In collaboration with you, I will support you in taking steps toward an improved sense of well-being and a life path that aligns with your deepest values. I work with individuals of all ages, families, and provide parent coaching.

I am passionate about helping individuals and couples reconnect to what matters most to them and learning to support one another through the inevitable ups and downs of life and relationships. I aim to help clients better understand the cycles they get stuck in and find accountability and agency for their contributions to these patterns. I also support clients in exploring and deepening intimacy in all its forms (emotionally/psychologically, physically/sexually, energetically/spiritually, etc.)

There are times in our life when we might feel overwhelmed and confused when trying to manage today's stressors. Fortunately, because you are seeking help, you don't have to go through it alone. Often we need guidance when navigating the challenges and feelings that come when difficulties arise. In a supportive and empathetic environment, issues such as: grief and loss, sadness/depression, anxiety, life transitions, personal growth, low self-esteem, trauma, chronic pain, ADHD difficulties, as well as child/parent struggles, can be addressed through a strength-based and solution-oriented approach.

I believe in creating a safe and nurturing environment by providing empathy, compassion, and a genuine approach in the treatment process. Since 2009, I have been treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational/intimacy issues. I integrate mindfulness meditation, CBT, healthy living practices and family systems techniques as a strategy to facilitate growth, healing, and balance.
