I am a licensed independent clinical social worker specializing in mental health treatment. My hope as a therapist is to help you feel confident in your identity and find a community that loves you unconditionally. I will help you decrease your anxiety, release guilt and shame, and learn new rituals to replace the ones that no longer serve you as you begin to live a life full of meaning and purpose. Together, we will process religious, physical, or emotional trauma holding you back from the job, relationships, or life you truly desire.

Julina Rundberg
MA
Each of us has the potential to thrive but encounters obstacles to living freely and fully. These obstacles may be situational, environmental, emotional, or may be the consequence of habits acquired under stress. Sometimes you may just feel alone or stuck, unable to live the life you imagine for yourself and unsure why this is. I believe that you deserve enjoyment, love, and satisfaction from your life. A therapeutic relationship offers a safe context for discovering and understanding the sources of suffering that hold you back, and exploring new solutions together.

I consider it an honor and a privilege to help people with the most intimate and challenging aspects of their being.
