EMDR Therapy in Pasadena, CA and all of california

In-depth, holistic, and effective therapy that heals from the inside, out.

If you’re feeling exhausted by the pain of your past, you’re in the right place.

You’ve survived a lot and are ready to heal. You know life isn’t meant always to feel this hard and you’re tired of your past constantly showing up in your present. You might have tried therapy before and weren’t sure it was for you, but you are ready to make the courageous choice to try again. There’s hope. Let’s get you free.

  • Maybe you’re a person of color or part of the LGBTQIA+ community and want to make sure your therapist gets you. You want a space with no code-switching, a space that understands the impact of systemic oppression and generational trauma but also celebrates the wisdom and resilience of your lived experience. Welcome. You’re home.

  • Sexual assault, intimate partner violence, narcissistic abuse, childhood abuse, race-based trauma, and other adverse experiences can lead to ongoing trauma responses that leave us in survival mode. EMDR therapy gets to the heart of the hurt to help you effectively heal and move forward.

  • Sometimes we aren’t sure what is wrong, we just know something feels off. We’re feeling anxious or navigating the lows of depression. Together, we get to find the root of the issue and make a plan to help you feel better.

I’m Julia.

I believe you deserve liberation from pain and hope for healing.

As a therapist, I hold two things as healing guides: The wisdom of the creative mind and the power of the clinical relationship. I bring a heart-centered, warm, and intuitive approach to therapy by honoring the relationship between soul, self, and the systemic structures in our lives.

Holistic by nature, I utilize EMDR, emotionally-focused therapy, and a depth approach to facilitate experiences in the therapy room that account for the light and shadow present within each of us, often leading to a deep reverence for the challenges life presents. 

How I can help

I specialize in therapy for lasting change.

  • Perhaps you’ve survived a “Big T” trauma, like sexual assault, childhood abuse, or narcissistic abuse. Alternatively, you might have accumulated “Little t” traumas like disconnection from attachment figures, loss of a job, or alienation from your community. Together, we will help you heal these wounds. Learn more.

  • Depression can come in various forms. It may be debilitating, where you find yourself unable to complete daily tasks or are disconnected from important relationships. It can also present as feeling like something just isn’t right. I take an in-depth approach that goes beyond symptoms and gets to the root. Learn more.

  • Perfectionists and people-pleasers often suffer from anxiety. This means you might look as if you’re fine, but on the inside you’re stressed, losing sleep, and constantly on edge. In our work together, we will equip you with tools to navigate tough moments and help you heal the core wound driving your anxiety. Learn more.

  • Seeking inspiration, setting boundaries, and staying true to your path are all common issues for artists and creative professionals. With years working in the creative industry, including with high-profile public figures, and a background as a writer, I understand the unique challenges you’re facing. We can help you find your way back to you. Learn more.
