The therapy I provide is based on well-researched, proven techniques, along with a mind/body approach that incorporates mindfulness and awareness into the process.
Three techniques that Julia weaves together in her approach are a mindfulness-centered somatic psychotherapy, clinical intuition and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. The combination allows clients to explore what is surfacing for them in the moment, and to dive deeply into whatever issues are most important.

I draw from mindfulness, attachment theory, somatic awareness, and relational approaches to help you reconnect with yourself in a grounded way.
I specialize in working with people who feel complex. The ones who have tried therapy before. The ones who are high-functioning on the outside and quietly unraveling on the inside. The ones carrying trauma in their nervous systems, attachment wounds in their relationships, or shame that never quite made sense.
I work with individuals across identities and lived experiences, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, people navigating nontraditional relationships, life transitions, spiritual exploration, burnout, and recovery from narcissistic or emotionally manipulative dynamics.

My Group Practice is accepting clients for kids/teens and adults! You're here because you've had enough. It's exhausting to feel so stressed, anxious or on edge every day. Maybe you've tried a therapist or two in the past and they just kinda let you talk about your problems without truly helping, so you feel as crappy as you did when you began. If you are ready to dive deeper into what's going on and get at the root of the issue so that you can finally get your life back to normal, we are ready to work with you! You need an expert to help you process out what's keeping you stuck in order to become your best self.

My approach is grounded in mindfulness, curiosity, and self-compassion.
My ideal client is someone ready to explore their emotions and patterns with curiosity. Many are neurodiverse adults navigating anxiety, self-doubt, trauma, or disconnection in a world not designed for their way of thinking and feeling. They want to feel seen, understood, and empowered to live more authentically. Together, we build emotional awareness, resilience, and self-compassion—creating a sense of inner safety and confidence to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.

I believe individuals’ thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, and bodily sensations need to be brought into our awareness, as insight is essential for change. I also believe that humans want to find purpose and meaning in their lives, that most people want to feel loved, validated, and that their needs are being met. When these are not present, unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as avoidance or negative self-talk can arise and cause distress in our lives. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and the therapeutic relationship as tools for alleviating symptoms and supporting other goals of healing.

My work is rooted in modalities like ACT, CBT, IFS, Brainspotting, & mindfulness.
