Welcome to a place where healing is nurtured, growth is fostered, and lives are transformed. As a Jewish therapist with a heart dedicated to change, I am here to guide individuals on their unique journeys towards emotional well-being and resilience. Specializing in working with children and teenagers, I am deeply attuned to the challenges they face in today's world. My focus lies in addressing attachment issues, behavioral struggles, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and the lasting impacts of trauma.

People often struggle with negative, self-defeating thoughts - often ones that they know are not completely true, yet nevertheless feel true. Many of my clients come to me because they want to make changes in their life - at work, school, or with family - but they feel trapped because of these negative thoughts. These thoughts can lead to excessive guilt, hopelessness, and indecision. As a therapist trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, I am committed to working together with you in helping you get unstuck.

Each person's life story is unique. I hope to help you explore the chapters of your life story that you would like to understand better and improve. These subtle changes can enhance your day to day life today. The first step is recognizing that you want to make changes and then having the courage to do so. I work collaboratively with you or your child to help you explore what can be done to make changes and relieve some of the stressors. As an expert working with the Latinex and the Orthodox Jewish population, I understand the intersection of cultural identity and mental health.

Does it feel like there’s more potential to your life, but something always seems to hold you back? Perhaps you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, or past trauma. Many people struggle with making meaningful connections, navigating relationships, and searching for purpose. My role as a therapist is to help you remove the roadblocks that keep you from living your fullest life. I support people from all backgrounds, including women, survivors of abuse, college students, the Jewish community, couples, and more. No matter what you’ve been through in the past, you deserve a healthy, happy, and meaningful life moving forward.

From the bustling streets of Marseille to the dynamic landscape of America, my journey as a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor has spanned continents. With over two decades of experience, I've honed my craft in diverse mental health settings like outpatient clinics, trauma-focused treatment center, partial-hospital for children, adult rehabilitation program, college counseling center and private practice. The proud owner of Village Connection Counseling, I offer compassionate and innovative psychotherapy tailored to individuals, children, adolescents, adults, and families, in search of a space to heal, growth and (re)connect.

I work with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds, addressing concerns like anxiety, depression, and compulsions. I also help with issues around careers, desire, and creative work. Many experience feelings of shame, guilt, and a lack of direction, which often affect their relationships with others and their work, family, and romantic lives. My sessions involve focused talk. By unpacking personal narratives—including day-to-day feelings—we aim to understand the underlying forces in these stories, some of which may not be immediately apparent. I use a psychoanalytic approach, focusing on how the unconscious shapes behavior.

Sometimes, Life takes us away from ourselves, away from our own wisdom. The chatter of the past, the chaos of the world, the day-to-day obligations, fears/uncertainties—it’s not surprising that we may get lost and miss that which brings us joy and offers us meaning. When the present is painful/uncomfortable, we are even more likely to shy away to block the hurt. This is a reality we all face. As I have learned in my own journey, it is crucial to develop connectedness, balance, curiosity, make sense of life’s difficulties, mourn losses, celebrate joys, get to know the authentic self, and find the courage to live intentionally.

Soul loss is what we go through when our early wounds and traumas restrict our energy and impede our ability to live freely and joyfully. I can help you retrieve your lost energy and rewire old patterns, so you can more fully embody who you were meant to be. Pain is often an invitation to learn more about our feelings so we can evolve and expand. I use a mind-body approach (somatic experiencing/ gestalt) with a relational lens (psychodynamic/ attachment/ Jungian) and energy healing. If you feel stuck after years of talk therapy, I can help. I see children, adolescents, adults, couples & families online only at the moment.

Welcome! I have worked in this field for over 13 years. I work with preteens, adolescents, college students, and adults. My training and clinical specialties include complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and effects of stress on daily functioning at any age. I work with clients who may feel stuck, isolated, and blocked from engaging in life. Throughout life one faces milestones and expectations that may exacerabate past traumas, poor self-image, and ways of coping that feel uncontrollable. In therapy, I believe that even the most intimate aspects of one's life can be safely explored in a collaborative and caring environment.

Hi there, I'm Julie and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with kids, teens, and their families who went through a traumatic experience and are struggling with its aftermath. If you've experienced something scary, sad, or stressful, it's normal to have a lot of strong emotions that you may not know how to handle. Anxiety, fear, and anger might make you feel like there's something wrong with you or that you're out of control. If you're a kid or teen who wants help after going through a traumatic event, or if you're a parent seeking support for your child, know that there's hope!

Are we your last stop as you have been calling mental health providers who have not been contacting you back? Are you frustrated because there seems to be no one that has availability? More so, are you frustrated that you have been working with a provider that does not seem to have expertise in what you are struggling with? It is time for a change.

I specialize in working with youth, individuals, and families that are often struggling with anxiety, depression and neurodivergence.

I have over 30 years of experience working with adults, children and families, and an ongoing passion and engagement in the art of psychotherapy. When the fit is right, a good therapeutic relationship can provide a powerful vehicle for healing and transformation. I think for therapy to really gel, you need to feel that your therapist gets you, perhaps in a way few others have. Adults I work with often tell me they have that experience with me, that they feel fully seen and understood. My work with children began in my earliest days as a therapist - and it continues to be a central part of my practice.

My primary areas of expertise are ADDICTIONS (e.g., substances, sex, video games, phone, social media), ANXIETY, CHILDHOOD and ADOLESCENCE, COLLEGE students, VETERANS, RELATIONSHIPS, TRAUMA, GROUPS, PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS, and COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY.
