Hi there, I’m Julie. Thank you for being here. I’m currently accepting new clients in NY. I am a psychotherapist specializing in queer and trans affirming care. Especially these days, it is so deeply important that everyone have support and care, and I am committed to building that environment with you. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, mental wellness is deeply personal. What works for one person may not work for another; the best work is done when a client and therapist work as a team.

Therapy is a process and I know it takes a lot of courage to seek it out. I believe that all of us have in us the right tools to change our lives and achieve our goals. Sometimes, all it takes is a little guidance and support from someone who might have a different perspective. As a licensed clinical social worker, I provide expert services working with adults and adolescents to strengthen their ability to overcome stress, grief and loss, anxiety and depression using specific interventions like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, coaching, and mindfulness training.

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed can take the joy out of life. Tasks pile up, and it becomes hard to know where to begin. Your social and dating life may fall to the wayside, and self-care feels unreachable. Physical tension often follows, with aches and pains mirroring the stress in your mind. Ruminating thoughts take control, keeping you stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Especially if you're a high-achiever or perfectionist, you may find yourself questioning what it’s all for.

My ideal client is an individual who desires inner peace and is willing to do the work on themselves to achieve their highest potential. A client who is longing for experiencing a life free of sorrow, anger, depression, anxiety and self-rejection for a life of letting go and self-acceptance.
