I embrace a warm, practical, and collaborative approach to psychotherapy, adapting treatment to the needs of each person. I believe that the present is informed yet not fully determined by our past, and that we all aspire to healing, wellness, and ongoing growth. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, and life transitions. I aim to encourage clients to work through unexamined unhealthy patterns, uncomfortable or scary thoughts and feelings, unwanted behaviors, challenging situations and relationships. I work from an anti-oppressive, relational, and trauma-focused lens.

If you have been feeling alone or stuck or in pain, I’m so glad you’re here. If you are ready to explore the cornerstones of existence (love/family/work/sex/spirituality) with the goal of working on healthier relationships both to oneself and with others, you are in the right place. I utilize evidence-based techniques, particularly somatic and mindfulness-based interventions, on a foundation of attachment-oriented psychodynamic theory to curate a therapeutic experience worthy of your unique story. My focus is on romantic relationships, trauma and loss, family conflict, social anxiety, body image, depression, and career stress.

My work engages people of all backgrounds, but with a particular emphasis on LGBTQ clients. I see clients experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD and other mental health concerns, as well as life transitions or stressful moments who need support while they move through adjustment issues or simply "feeling stuck".

I welcome clients of all backgrounds and identities with a focus on working with the LGBT community, specifically gay men and trans folks at all stages of their personal/ sexual identity exploration. When we work together you can expect to see a mix of the following: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge negative automatic thoughts, good for anxiety and depression. A psychodynamic approach which looks at family development, past and present relationships. Or Gestalt/ parts work, which could take the form of role plays with others, or conversations with our childhood selves.

The last few years have brought loss and uncertainty for so many of us. If you’re feeling depressed, overwhelmed, or just stuck, know that you’re not alone — and it’s okay not be okay. Finding a therapist can be frustrating, but it’s worth the effort. With the right match, psychotherapy is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) and Latinx LCSW, who prioritizes providing a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment for all. I work with diverse clients in reducing and managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD – helping them to create healthy boundaries, strategize ways to approach difficult familial issues, processing loss, and other components that impact our daily lives such as race and cultural identity, work stress, career transitions, and burnout. My goal is to help each client to achieve a better understanding of who they are and how they perceive themselves in the world.

When people experience seasons of struggle, as we all undoubtedly do, sometimes therapy can be a valuable resource to help us find clarity, navigate uncertainty, lean into change and growth, or rediscover and restore what we once knew about ourselves. My philosophy in terms of treatment is one of partnership. I aspire to create a space, whether via video or in person, where you can feel safe to be vulnerably seen and heard, and my hope is that, at the end of our time together, you will feel empowered to live your life to the fullest, equipped with a diverse array of coping tools that you can confidently call your own.

Stress and trauma impact all aspects of our well-being. In many ways our physical health, emotions, thoughts, spirituality, and hopes for the future may be affected. We may struggle with relationships, work, life transitions, anxiety, stress, trauma, loss and grief, chronic illness and pain or other issues. Create space for yourself to engage in a restorative, empowering therapeutic experience and receive the support you deserve.

Julia believes that healing starts with a strong therapeutic relationship and focuses on establishing an accepting, warm environment filled with trust and free of judgement. 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.

Do you feel dissatisfied with how you relate to others or to yourself? Are you unsure of how to break out of a behavioral, emotional, or cognitive loop? I work with my clients to identify the loops they’re stuck in, what is maintaining them, and how to begin to do things differently. I provide a safe, validating, and compassionate space for this exploration. Although I pay particular attention to emotion, I also include intervention in the realms of thought, behavior, and body for a holistic approach. I commonly draw on techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy, internal family systems therapy, and mindfulness.

I am an eclectic in many ways and sort of Jungian which gives therapy a spiritual dimension. I am not Freudian but hold his approach with respect. Over the years, I gained much experience with various types of populations: cancer and AIDS patients, substance abuse clients, personality disorders clients, to someone with anxiety and low mood concerns. I worked with young adults and older clients, together finding a good match for each one. I plan on seeing clients on weekend

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”—Joan Didion Sometimes life takes a bad turn. Sometimes something awful happens and we need to learn to cope. Sometimes we find ourselves in a veritable dark wood, bereft of hope, looking for some way out. Often we try things that don't work, or that work all too well, or that bring further trouble and suffering into our lives. We struggle with work, relationships, our health, money, and, most importantly, making sense of our struggles, so mired are we in the everyday grind of existence.

Feeling stressed out or anxious? Since 2020, many of us have experienced loneliness, struggling to understand our lack of motivation and turmoil in our personal lives. Maybe you’re just feeling ‘stuck’. I provide a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment for clients to explore their selves, feelings, and relationships. Together we can address symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues that may be causing duress. I work with a diverse population, particularly LGBTQ+, gender non-conforming, in-transition. I am also working under supervision to specialize in couples, relationships, and sex therapy.

I work with adolescents and adults on a wide range of challenges from general counseling and adjustment issues (feeling "stuck") to more clinical issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and sexual issues. I focus on LGBT clients, particularly in the area of transgender identity, but have a diverse client base overall. I have experience working with clients that have issues related to polyamory, the kink community, and navigating these issues within relationships. I also have interns and supervisees that can see sliding scale clients from various populations.

We all go through difficult times in life. We hurt, grieve, feel sad, angry and anxious, we become frustrated, get stuck on something or someone and often do not know how to move on.“The best way out is always through” said the poet Robert Frost and I believe that this is a great metaphor for the process of psychotherapy. It is not easy to face our problems, be vulnerable in front of another person, reveal our fears and anxieties or experience uncomfortable emotions. It takes courage to ask for help and begin therapy and I have tremendous respect for anyone who is willing to do so.

Is online therapy a good option?

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
