About Julia

Julia is a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with children (ages 5+), adolescents, and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, and life transitions. With experience supporting clients across a wide range of developmental stages, she thoughtfully tailors her approach to meet each person exactly where they are. Julia is especially passionate about walking alongside clients and families facing the emotional challenges of serious medical diagnoses, including cancer and terminal illness.

Julia's work is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy; she believes every client is the expert on their own life, and she strives to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people feel safe exploring their emotions and experiences. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), she helps clients build mindfulness skills, recognize unhelpful thinking patterns, and take meaningful action aligned with their values. Julia places special emphasis on practical, reliable coping tools that clients can reach for even in their hardest moments.

When working with children, Julia incorporates developmentally appropriate, play-based interventions that foster emotional expression, self-awareness, confidence, and resilience. She also values close collaboration with parents and caregivers, knowing that growth in therapy is strongest when it's supported at home.

Above all, Julia is dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care that empowers clients to understand themselves more deeply, navigate life's challenges, and move toward healing and growth. She would be honored to be part of your journey.
