Hi! I'm Julia and I'm so glad you're here. I’m a therapist who believes in the magic we conjure 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 work one-on-one with adults and ground my approach in attachment theory. I blend powerful tools like the alphabet soup of CBT, ACT, and EMDR. I also believe in the healing power of movement. I use experience and flexibility to help you discover which techniques fit your story and goals best.
Beyond therapy, I’m passionate about pop culture, music, art, and literature. I welcome clients who bring in references to everything from reality TV to fan fiction. These can be powerful gateways to emotion and insight in therapy. I’d love to hear your story and explore what our work together could look like.
