Welcome. My name is Julia, and I’m here to support you. As a therapist, I specialize in trauma recovery and all that comes with it - depression, anxiety, grief, anger, coping (both healthy and unhealthy), and more.
I have specific experience working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, and with people battling substance abuse. I primarily use mindfulness, parts work, DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) skills, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) in sessions with my clients.
Therapy is a lot like exercise - it’s hard to get started, it hurts while you’re doing it… and you’re always glad you did it anyway. The first step is asking for help. This is hard, but you can absolutely do it. You're already here, aren't you?

I have worked primarily with clients whose coping mechanisms are no longer helping them cope. At one point, the thing they had done to keep themselves safe or alive worked. Now, it's creating a barrier to the life they want to live. We will work together to identify the things you want to change, create a plan to address them, and I'll support you as you put in the work to create positive changes.

The most important thing for successful therapeutic intervention is trust. Healing happens in a safe relationship, so we will work to build a strong, safe connection that allows you to process your struggles and pain. During treatment, I use a combination of different approaches to facilitate healing based on your unique strengths, needs, memories and attachments.
