About Julia
Trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief related to past and present life events, relationship conflicts, worsening of symptoms, or the bad consequences of even the best decision making can injure your heart and diminish your hope. If this is your time to experience relationship challenges, betrayals, stressors, or losses that unexpectedly provide you with swift kicks that knock you face-first into the dirt, therapy will support you and teach you to develop your own plan to dust yourself off. Here you can regain your strength, and experience the empowerment of reconnecting with your goals while you develop new skills for healing and recovery.
For over twenty years, I have partnered with children, adults, adolescents, and families on their individual journeys of healing and restoration. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a Master Addiction Counselor and my approach is defined by your goals, challenges, and the plan that is most supportive of your healing and recovery.

- “Julia is an incredibly thoughtful therapist. She took her time to get to know me and the issues I am dealing with. She encouraged me when I was right and cheered me on and corrected me when my actions were not beneficial to the process. I would highly recommend her and can’t thank her enough for helping me.”
- “Julia is wonderful, she's so nice and considerate. I truly feel she listens to me and is confident in her field. She is so skilled, she has a knack of picking up on traits and issues without me even specifically saying anything. I feel much better and motivated towards self improvement. Could not thank her enough!”
- “Julia is kind, an excellent listener, and genuinely invested in seeing me progress and succeed in my counseling and life goals. She does an excellent job of re-articulating my concerns and choices for plans of action without "steering" our conversations, or coloring g them with her own biases. I'm so greatful for her help. She's an absolute blessing and I highly recommend her.”
- “Julia is great. I would recommend her to anyone.”
- “So far so good - only three sessions in, but I like that she takes the time to repeat back to me her interpretation of what I'm trying to express and help me understand it better. She's great at explaining her thought process or defining what she's thinking in a way that's every easy to understand. She's been great at finding articles she think can help me and, as someone who likes to research, it's nice to ready up on things we talk about during sessions.”
