*** I am unable to take on new clients at this time *** I specialize in working with students and
adults
navigating transitions, challenges, and personal goals. I believe that in order to change negative patterns, anxiety or depression, we need to understand and explore our own strengths and skills. My own non-linear path has enriched and informed my work with individuals navigating social and emotional stressors. I strive to create an open and honest therapeutic space to support clients as they decipher big questions and develop coping strategies, self care practices and a deeper acceptance of self.

I work with
adults
who need help managing the challenges of modern life.
Currently accepting new clients. Life can be complex: relationships, family, school, work. Our lives can be further challenged by the unique aspects of our times. We are under constant bombardment of information, straining our ability to focus and compartmentalize. Factors such as trauma, shame and guilt further complicate things. My approach is to help "break it down and make it simple". This means helping people untangle their thoughts, pressures and feelings, while collaboratively devising plans aimed at learning to manage and alleviate whatever symptoms are causing distress.

I appreciate working with individuals across identity and experience and in my most recent role focused on serving queer and trans
adults
.
Being a person in 2023 is hard. Whether you're experiencing depression or anxiety, understanding new identities, working towards building healthy relationships, or simply trying to understand your own goals better, it can feel overwhelming. I see therapy as a means of helping you understand how you work, supporting you in identifying strategies for getting your needs met, and building motivation to try new things. I believe in a collaborative approach and work to integrate feedback to co-create a therapy relationship where you feel safe and seen.

I work with
adults
and young
adults
experiencing stress, apathy, life transitions, a first diagnosis, ADHD, or relationship stress.
Waitlist only- I approach counseling with the understanding that we are biologically wired for connection. For many people mental health is compromised as our need for connection and meaning in our environment conflicts with cultural imperatives of independence and productivity.I view symptoms of distress as acts of resistance, not individual failings. For many, these acts of resistance result from injuries of marginalization and disconnection.I support clients to explore this resistance in the context of their current environment (friends, family, community).I work with clients from a place of empowerment, not pathology.

My history of working with children, teens,
adults
, couples and families allows me to work sensitively with both unique individual needs as well as systemic dynamics.
I see a state of imbalance in the world that affects all beings and brings out our collective and individual defenses. These intersect with trauma, relationship issues, fear, anxiety, grief, and depression to create patterns of disharmony within our lives and our dynamics with others. Whatever brings you to therapy, I believe that therapy can help ease the burden. I see therapy as a process of co-creatively and compassionately tending to threads of discord that have become intransigent, freeing new pathways of thinking, feeling, and being. With time and attention, therapy can help cultivate and strengthen an inner balance.

"I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better" (Maya Angelou) Hi! My name is Julia (she/her). My approach to therapy is empathetic and based in both trust and relationship. I truly enjoy getting to know my clients and being able to help them take a look at their past and current challenges and see how they have adapted. I really want to help my clients understand where their reactions to trauma/hard times come from and how to use that knowledge to move forward in a fulfilling way. I feel my approach is truly person centered and trauma informed, using compassion and curiosity to help us navigate.

I’m passionate about and feel honored to work with
adults
and late adolescents who are motivated to learn about themselves, build self-compassion, and develop a deeper connection to themselves and others.
I believe that good therapy starts with a strong therapeutic relationship. From this place of connection, empathy, and understanding, we’ll work together to explore what’s holding you back from living a life that feels full and meaningful. As your therapist, I will join with you to help heal old wounds, discover inner wisdom, and move towards a more full way of being in the world. My approach to therapy is integrative and recognizes the importance of mind, body, and spirit. I pull particularly from my training in AEDP and IFS as well as other approaches including mindfulness, psychodynamic, emotion-focused, and person-centered.

I work with
adults
, older adolescents, and couples, and facilitate groups. I treat depression, anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, family of origin issues, OCD, trauma, and grief/loss. Life is difficult and often painful - much more so for some than for others. This pain brings people to therapy to engage in a process that is itself often painful; and yet they do so willingly and with hope. I am continually inspired by my clients as they engage in this process and come to see themselves in new ways, and make choices that allow them to live more fully.

Do you have the desire to take back control over your life, your dreams, your reality? Are you feeling overwhelmed with the external world while feeling completely lost in your own internal world? Do you struggle with seeing the bigger picture or purpose? Are you feeling bummed or regretful with where you're at in your life and desire a more fulfilling, aligned, impactful life? Are you experiencing a transition in your life or identity and want support in feeling more grounded and confident in this change? Does your life path look different than the societally expected norm?

Is online therapy a good option?

To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
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.
