I have particular specialties with clients struggling with: distressed or unrewarding work and family relationships; relationship coaching for executives; life and career transitions; prenuptial agreement counseling; financial therapy; inherited-wealth counseling; infidelity; discernment counseling (deciding to divorce or not); and divorce counseling;
Please note that all sessions are via tele-medicine. I believe that clients seeking counseling services desire tools for living a better life, and I strive to provide those tools. I do not push change on clients, but rather helps them articulate how they want their lives to be, and then collaboratively set out to put the foundation in place to create that life. I feel that clients gain the most from the counseling experience when they feel supported, encouraged, and understood by their therapist. This process works best in a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space, which I provide.

You might be a parent worried about a child’s behavior after abuse, a young person struggling to feel safe and understood, a partner or co-parent trying to find a healthier way forward during a court-involved divorce, or someone juggling recovery while managing relationships, work, and daily life.
Therapy often blends skill-building (emotion regulation, safety planning, communication), trauma-focused interventions, and concrete problem-solving so that progress shows up in everyday life. Sessions aim to create a calm, predictable space where questions are welcomed, plans are concrete, and families learn tools they can use between appointments.

I see pre-teens, adolescents, and adults, including children struggling with their parents' separation or divorce.
My approach is geared towards helping clients make choices and relate to others in ways that reinforce their feelings of autonomy, fulfillment, and peace. We engage to explore current situations and the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and then develop strategies to help better manage situations or make decisions. Strategies we explore may include short term action plans as well as longer term resilience building to manage ongoing challenges. I will work with clients to develop new ways of interpreting difficulties, understanding others, and communicating that are in line with their own values and hopes.

Hi! I'm Julia and I'm so glad you're here.
I’m a therapist who believes in the magic we create when insight meets action. We’ll dig into the “why” behind your patterns (like that perfectionism that’s running the show), and figure out what to do with all that awareness.
Maybe it’s understanding the role you played in your family, or identifying how old stories are still shaping your relationships.
My vibe is warm, collaborative, and always curious. Therapy doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. We can find clarity, healing, and even a few laughs along the way.

I am a psychodynamic psychologist. As such, I believe that our early experiences shape our later expectations of ourselves and our relationships. I assist patients in examining patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may have begun early in life and continue to generate unhappiness with the goal of helping to relieve the depression and anxiety. As patients gain self-awareness and come to recognize and handle their feelings more adeptly, they often develop a more cohesive identity. While working to mitigate them, I am mindful of understanding what underlies the patient's vulnerability to developing these particular symptoms.
