My goal is to help my clients achieve a harmonious life. I believe that all people have the power within themselves to achieve health and wholeness that includes a peaceful state of mind, a nurtured soul and healing. Utilizing a holistic approach, I teaches my clients how to reduce their chronic stress reactivity and build resilience to life’s perpetual stressors. I often draw on mindfulness therapy techniques, in addition, techniques such as EMDR to help the autonomic nervous system detect safety and regulate emotions effectively. I am fluent in Farsi and Azeri/Turkish language and consider myself to be a multicultural provider.

I love working with people facing eating disorders, anxiety, OCD, health worries, depression, or relationship struggles, as well as caregivers and those with chronic illnesses.
Life with a disability or chronic illness can feel lonely, but you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. I’m Julia, a therapist with a deep passion for mental health and advocacy, shaped by my own experiences as part of the disabled and chronically ill community. I know what it’s like to face a world that isn’t always accessible and to have your emotional needs overlooked while others focus only on physical symptoms. This drives me to create a warm, welcoming space where you feel truly heard and valued.

I also work specifically with coping strategies for individuals with other mental health issues such as ADHD and OCD, among others, both as part of therapy as a whole, or in specific shorter treatment such as ADHD coaching, depending on the need.
My approach to therapy is heavily influenced by a trust in my client's ability to heal themselves once they are equipped with knowledge and self awareness of their experiences. I emphasize psycho-education and autonomy to help my client's regain and maintain control over their lives. My role is to guide my clients to helpful decisions and coping strategies.

If you often feel out of place, overwhelmed by the world around you, or exhausted from masking just to get through the day—I see you. Maybe you've spent a lot of your life trying to make sense of big emotions, sensory overload, social dynamics that never felt intuitive, or feeling like your brain works differently than others expect it to. You might have been told you’re “too sensitive,” “too intense,” or “too much”—or you’ve wondered if something’s wrong with you, even when deep down you know there isn’t. I work with people who are tired of trying to fit into boxes that were never meant for them.

If your mind won’t slow down—if you’re constantly overthinking, worrying, or feeling on edge—you’re not alone, and you’re not broken. Anxiety can take many forms. For some, it looks like racing thoughts and worst-case-scenario thinking. For others, it shows up as tension in the body, difficulty relaxing, trouble sleeping, or feeling constantly “on alert.” You may find yourself replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, or feeling like you can never quite turn your mind off. When you’re in it, it can feel exhausting—and isolating. I offer a calm, non-judgmental space where you can begin to understand what’s happening beneath
