We all can feel unheard & lonely, believe we aren't 'good enough', criticize ourselves, experience toxic relationships, trauma, & question ourselves or who we are. Life happens, we make mistakes & it's okay to admit if we aren't coping. During those times, therapy can be one of the most valuable investments you make in yourself—to help you cope more effectively with challenges, heal from trauma, build healthier relationships, & enhance your overall well-being. My name is Julia, and I am a dynamic counsellor with 3 degrees & 10+ years of expertise spanning the NPO, community, wellness, & clinical sectors.

My background includes counselling interventions, psychological assessment, & criminology, alongside expertise in body language analysis & domestic violence risk assessment. I assist adult individuals & couples. My areas of specialization include narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, trauma counselling & debriefing, people-pleasing & self-criticism.

My approach is eclectic, personalized, and solution-focused. I am passionate about developing emotional resilience & empowering individuals to understand themselves & the origins of their challenges, while supporting them in navigating current & future difficulties from a place of competence, self-worth, autonomy & control.
