More About Julia

I’m Julia, and I work with individuals, couples, and families facing layered and complex challenges leading to overwhelming emotions and conflict within relationships. Many of my clients have a long history of traumatic experiences and painful family dynamics which leaves them feeling anxious, depressed, and like they aren’t getting their needs met.

Working with me involves using culturally sensitive and strengths based approaches to help promote healing and personal growth. With me, you can express yourself without judgement, and I’ll help you understand how your environment is influencing your emotional experiences. Ultimately, I’ll help you process through the pain, going at a pace that is comfortable for you, to help you address life challenges while also getting your needs met.

More Than Just My Work
