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, psychodynamic therapy, parts work, and a relational 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.
