As a social worker and therapist, I strive to create a safe and warm therapeutic space and to support you in reaching your mental health goals. Taking the first step to seek help is one of the best decisions you can make! I value the relationships I build with my clients, and approach the therapeutic process with respect and empathy. I can help you to challenge yourself, building on resilience and strengths, and using a cognitive approach to help you achieve your desired outcomes.

We are a mental health and wellness center specialized in reproductive health psychology. We offer therapy for individuals and couples, support groups, and massage (therapeutic, fertility & prenatal) and birth classes. The counterbalance to pain, suffering and shame is honesty, community and healing. Therapy, 'the talking cure', is a supported experience, and is proven to be particularly helpful with acquiring insight into situations, while learning to listen to what the the mind and body is telling us. Over time you will gain strength and courage to make the changes necessary to bring relief, and live the life that you long for.

Couples come to therapy often feeling frustrated, defensive, hurt and angry. Love, attraction and shared life goals may have brought them together, but along the way to deeper emotional intimacy couples meet roadblocks. Growing self-awareness and curiosity about their partner helps them appreciate their differences as enriching rather than threatening. Partners realize that each of them has a role in cultivating the quality of their relationship. Partners learn to support each other's growth and expand their horizons together. Their relationship feels more alive and hopeful. Therapy nurtures the art of relationships for all of us.

With more than 14 years of experience working in the field, I bring warmth, hints of humor, and an empowering voice to support my clients in creating more fulfilling lives for themselves. My therapeutic style is grounded in open communication, mutual respect, and creative collaboration. I work with adolescents and adults struggling with: Anxiety, Depression, Pregnancy-Related Concerns, Parenting Stress, Age & Life Transitions Issues, Gender & Identity (LGBTQ+), Body Image & Self-Esteem, Women's Issues, Work/Life Balance, Relationship Challenges, & Family Conflicts.

Are you struggling with a feeling of disconnection from your usual self? Are you constantly overwhelmed, anxious or worried? Feeling angry, alone or isolated? Feeling connected and understood can be difficult when you feel so alone in what you are experiencing. I am committed to helping individuals struggling with emotional challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, infertility and parenthood find their way towards feeling better and restoring their connection with themselves and others who are important to them.

In a world that can feel increasingly polarized, our conversations make a difference in how we go on together. Every interaction shapes the possibility for bringing us closer together or pushing us further apart. As we feel more understood, respected, and capable, we can turn towards one another with more compassion and capacity for connection. Whether you're seeking therapy for relationships, grief, sex, or life transitions, I'm here to support you at your own pace.

Women have specific concerns and needs that can seem to change rapidly, such as mood and body image concerns during monthly cycles. Later on, Trying to Conceive (TTC), or the many emotions that come with Pregnancy, as well as Pregnancy losses and terminations, can be quite challenging and leave you feeling unsure who you can open up to without judgment and unsolicited advice. Birth Trauma, Postpartum Depression, and Anxiety can also feel quite scary and talking to a knowledgeable Therapist in Women's Emotional Health can help you feel validated in your thoughts and fears, reduce guilt, and help you see that you are doing your best!

Fertility issues can be so lonely, whether it's struggling to conceive, having miscarriages, or having to terminate for medical reasons. Everyone around you seems to get (and stay!) pregnant whenever they want, and if one more person tells you to "just relax and it will happen" you may lose it. Thinking about how to get pregnant takes over everything, your entire identity, and you don't even feel like yourself anymore. Focusing at work, seeing friends, and sex for fun feel impossible. And, if you struggled with your mental health before infertility, anxiety and depression are probably off the charts right about now.

Are you struggling to feel satisfied in your relationships? Whether the relationship is with a partner, a friend, family, or even with ourselves, it can cause stress, havoc and exhaustion. You might be dealing with mental health challenges, low self-worth, sexual dysfunction or have experienced trauma that can impact your relationships. You may be struggling during pregnancy or postpartum with feeling like yourself and connected to your partner. Fortunately, better communication, an improved sex life, increased self worth, and reduced anxiety are all achievable in our work.

I am a clinical psychologist who's been in practice for over 25 years. I find that therapy is most effective when the therapist and client work together. We will work with each other to develop treatment goals and address the symptoms and distress that are causing you to seek therapy. While providing suggestions and insight, I aim for therapy to be an interactive and respectful process, one that encourages personal growth, behavioral changes and self-awareness. Together, we will address your unique needs and learn new ways to cope with and heal from the issues that have been troubling to you.

Is it difficult to feel present or manage your stress? Do you wish for greater balance in your life? I serve adults & couples who struggle with anxiety, caretaking, grief/loss, and complex trauma. Whatever challenges impact you, I hope together we can explore healthier ways of regulating during emotional uncertainty, as well as empower your voice in the processes of healing.

I’m so glad you’re here! Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily life stresses, relationship issues, or recent changes? Do you want to start to feel better soon? There are many aspects of our lives, our stories, our families, and our circumstances that we may not have chosen and may not be able to change. However, there ARE ways to work through these very important aspects of our lives. Therapy is a wonderful and fulfilling way to do just that. I provide services for life transitions, anxiety, depression, marital and premarital therapy, trying to conceive, pregnancy, and postpartum experiences, and other mental health concerns.

Hi! I'm Julia. I specialize and am certified in perinatal mental health. I work with clients through the unpredictability of trying to start a family, including adoption and fertility issues. I support families who are facing the pain of pregnancy loss, or dealing with the aftermath of birth trauma. I treat perinatal mood and anxiety disorders that arise during pregnancy and/or the postpartum period. I provide a skilled perspective to help clients learn how to ride the waves of this delicate and vulnerable time.

My approach to therapy is both compassionate and empathetic. I believe we all have the ability to grow and change if we have the necessary support, desire and tools. Through the therapeutic relationship and process, clients can improve the quality of their lives by gaining a better understanding of themselves. My goal is to help my clients gain courage and self awareness to live life fully. My approach is collaborative, intuitive and gestalt. I specialize in grief and loss, trauma, relationship issues, illness, anxiety, depression, women's issues, postpartum depression and issues related to chronic health.

I work with individuals and couples by recognizing that each person I work with has a life filled with complex experiences beyond the presenting concern. I look to find understanding and connection through exploration of those varied experience. I help clients set boundaries and develop deeper understanding about their own relationships. As a sex therapist, I believe that sex and intimacy are parts of the human experience, and I know that not everyone is eager to talk about these parts of themselves. I help clients build confidence in being able to talk about these areas.
