As a Black therapist in Brooklyn, NY, I understand how easy it can be to get lost in the constant hustle and bustle in New York City. You might find yourself asking if you made the right move, chose the right career path, or are in the right relationship. I acknowledge your struggle and your bravery to face it. Opening up your history takes a great amount of courage. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you’ve sought counsel before--seeking help can be scary. I believe in the healing power of a strong therapeutic relationship.

You are you, and nobody understands this as deeply as you. I approach our work from a humanistic, person-centered foundation that helps guide your innate strengths to discover, or re-discover, your authentic self. For some, therapy might look like a winding journey, for others, a direct path. Or it may be a mixture of both. I’m a relational therapist and believe that the fostering of a trusting alliance between us is essential to the realization of your unique goals of change and growth.

While interning as a counselor for a high school, I've learn how important it is for individuals to establish trust with someone to the point they feel comfortable enough to confide in. I believe therapy is a place where an individual could experience the safety of divulging their life experiences with a professional counselor who actively listens and validates their personal dilemmas. I hold the belief that everyone's personality and values are different, therefore I will collaborate with you and discover ways to appropriately tailor our sessions together so we could effectively attain your goals.

Julia believes that healing starts with a strong therapeutic relationship and focuses on establishing an accepting, warm environment filled with trust. This foundational relationship and your courage and willingness allow for deep exploration into your inner world. As a client, you will take an active role in the therapeutic process and together, you'll awaken the state of autopilot that many of us default to and work towards living life more intentionally. Through compassionate and curious exploration, you will bring awareness to unconscious patterns that may have once been adaptive but now keep you stuck.

There is a longing inside all of us for connection. We strive to be understood, to be accepted for who we are, and to tell our story. Yet so often we may feel disconnected, unworthy, misunderstood or unseen. However, I believe potential exists within each of us to recognize and shift patterns that no longer serve us, to change harmful coping strategies, to connect with our intuition and to envision a path that aligns us with our purpose. You deserve a safe place to talk with a professional who sees beyond a label or a diagnosis and can provide compassion and support as you work toward finding renewed hope, strength and purpose.

Anxiety is a cruel adversary. It twists our thoughts. It darkens our moods. It drains our energy and focus. Anxiety interferes with our most dearly held goals—our aspirations for creativity, security, growth, adventure, joy. Worst of all, anxiety can threaten our closest relationships, corrupting human connections with fear, doubt, anger, and shame.

What type of Brooklyn mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
